Torex Semiconductor Ltd. has launched a high-performance, 1.4A inductor built-in step-up “micro DC/DC” Converter— XCL104/XCL105 series. The XCL104/XCL105 series is a synchronous step-up “micro DC/DC” converter with a built-in 1.4A driver and a built-in coil that is...

Trameto, a manufacturer of power management semiconductors for energy harvesting (EH PMICs) announces a demonstration platform that enables engineers to quickly evaluate how micro-energy harvesting can reduce or eliminate the use of batteries in IoT devices such as sensors and the...

A rechargeable battery’s load should be disconnected at the point of complete discharge, to avoid a further (deep) discharge that can shorten its life or destroy it. Because a battery’s terminal voltage recovers when you disconnect the load, you can’t simply disconnect the load...

Low energy consumption is one of the key catalysts for scalable product launches. If your product is power-hungry, customers will certainly give you negative feedback. Consequently, every developer strives to make their products have extended battery lives, and they are increasingly...

MATRIX Industries  PRMT11-18305-30 Prometheus Energy Harvesting Module converts thermal energy between small temperature gradients into useful electrical output, enabling users to power a device or recharge a battery or supercapacitor. The PRMT11-18305-30 integrates a Gemini...

Where are Supercapacitors Used? Supercapacitors are widely used to increase the efficiency of smart meters, UPS, passenger vehicles, wind turbines, AGVs, smart devices, etc. Supercapacitors play a major role in many devices we use or see every day, such as emergency lights, dashcams,...

All motherboards are equipped with a CMOS battery. In the past, it was necessary to maintain the operation of the CMOS memory, which was responsible for storing BIOS data and other parameters of a personal computer. Previously, BIOS settings were stored in CMOS memory which was powered...

The project presented here is designed for high-voltage and high-speed driving for MOSFETS and IGBTs that operate up to +1200V. The project consists of a FAN73912 gate driver chip and 2 x IGBTs, DC bus capacitors, current sense resistor for current feedback etc. The advanced input...
