IXYS Corp. (Santa Clara, CA) announced the introduction of an extended new family of power semiconductors in the new isolated TO-220 package. The new plastic package, called ISOPLUS220, has the holeless TO-220 outline, but with a DCB ceramic lead-frame based on the company’s ISOPLUS technology. The new devices announced include new trench-technology MOSFETs in the […]
Schaffner EMC Inc. (Edison, NJ) has released the FN 7000 Series of feed-through capacitors and filters designed to combat conducted electrical interference both into and out of electronic components. The new series is suitable for high-frequency applications that require clean power and data lines, such as automation, data-handling and communications technologies. The FN 7000 Series […]
AVX Corp. (Myrtle Beach, SC) announced a new series of ultra-thin chip capacitors intended to complement the company's standard chip capacitors by providing a lower profile height to the end-user. AVX is now able to reduce the component profile height to 0.35mm. The new capacitors are available in case sizes 0805 and 1206. They have […]
BI Technologies (Fullerton, CA) has developed a molypermalloy powder-based (MPP) family of surface-mount inductors capable of handling up to 40A. Designated the HM73 Series, these self-shielding inductors are available in a surface-mount package with 16 standard ratings from 0.1µH to 8.2µH, and from 6A to 40A. The HM73 Series of inductors features board-mounted profiles of […]
Fairchild Semiconductor (San Jose, CA) has announced its next generation of horizontal-deflection transistor (HDTR) products. These bipolar junction transistors have 1,500V and...
J.W. Miller (Gardena, CA) has debuted a new series of surface-mountable power inductors, called the PM12639S/PM12645S Series. The new inductors offer current ratings of 30A maximum for dc/dc converter output-choke applications. The inductors are claimed to work nicely with converter chip sets offered by other vendors. They are designed with magnetic shielding and feature low […]
Fairchild Semiconductor (San Jose, CA) announced its new 30V p-channel PowerTrench MOSFET technology. Featuring enhanced rugged-gate technology with 25V gate-to-source maximum rating,...
ON Semiconductor (Phoenix, AZ) has introduced a new protection IC for one-cell lithium-ion and lithium-polymer battery packs. The new NCP800 offers internally trimmed precision charge and discharge voltage limits. In order to maintain cell operation within specified limits, the NCP800 senses cell voltage and discharge current, and correspondingly controls the state of two n-channel MOSFET […]
