NGK INSULATORS, LTD., announced that it has commenced collaboration with Renesas Electronics Corporation, on promoting the widespread adoption of maintenance-free IoT devices. As the first phase of collaboration, NGK and Renesas jointly-developed a reference design for a wireless air...

The 18650 LiPo battery manager comes with a fuel gauge and a dual-rail power supply. The dual-rail power provides a 5V rail along with a 3.3V rail dedicated to powering the microcontroller and the display ports of the system. It is termed as an “all-in-one single-cell LiPo battery...

This is a high voltage regulator project that provides 5V regulated output with a load capacity of 50mA from input supply 10V to 60V. The project is based on the ZXTR1005K4 regulator which is fully integrated into a TO252 package. We have tested this project with 60V DC input, but the...

The combination of MPS (Monolithic Power Systems) controllers with ultra-efficient eGaN® FETs from EPC (Efficient Power Conversion) enable best-in-class power density of 1700 W/in3 in high efficiency, low cost LLC DC-DC Conversion Monolithic Power Systems, Inc. (MPS), a leading...

App note from IXYS about their unique digital inrush controller using Zilog’s 8-bit Z8F3281 MCU. Digital control allows distinctive solutions to control inrush current in typical AC-DC rectifier with capacitive load by limiting capacitor pre-charge current to a predetermined value at...

The project presented here is a versatile high voltage Half-Bridge with current feedback. The board is built using L6390 IC from ST Semiconductor. It is suitable for DC-DC converters, EHT drivers, induction heater drivers, battery chargers, LED drivers, DC motor speed controller and...

Power Integrations , the leader in high-voltage integrated circuits for energy-efficient power conversion, announced the MinE-CAP™ IC for high power density, universal input AC-DC converters. By halving the size of the high-voltage bulk electrolytic capacitors required in...

Inrush current/Switch-ON surge is the maximal instantaneous input current drawn by an electrical device when first turned on. Inrush current is much higher than the load’s steady-state current and that’s the source of many problems such as fuse blowing up, load failure, load’s...
