The GLF73510 IQSmart IC is designed to virtually eliminate wearable and IoT device battery discharge during standby or deep-sleep operation. The GLF73510 consumes an industry-leading ultra-low leakage current (ISD) of 2 nA (typ.), as much as 1,000 times less than other chips commonly used in this application. Applications for wearable and smaller IoT battery powered […]
Fully integrated SVID and PVID-enabled voltage regulator brings high efficiency in a small package
An Integrated Point-of-Load (IPOL) family combines ease-of-use with high power density. It is said to be the industry’s first fully integrated regulator offering PMBUS, SVID and PVID functions for powering Intel CPU POL rails, chip-sets and ASIC/FPGA. With 50% space saving compared to alternative external power solutions, this is said to be the smallest solution […]

ZVS buck regulator puts out 20 A at 24 V
The new Cool-Power ZVS buck, PI3325-00-LGIZ, represents the highest current output ZVS buck to date for 24/28-V applications, providing a regulated 5-V output at up to 20 A. Packaged within a 10x14x2.5-mm LGA SiP package, the PI3325-00-LGIZ addresses the continued need for high power density across a growing spectrum of applications. It also offers pin-for-pin […]
Video Teardown: Inside the Apple watch sport model
Though most of the Apple watch electronics are inaccessible because they sit within a 26 by 28-mm motherboard that’s overmolded with a special packaging compound, we were still able to discern a number of interesting features on the watch, including its use of a taptic engine and a special display light sensor.
High pulse-withstanding resistors in a compact package
The HPWC (high pulse withstanding chip) range of high energy surge resistor products are designed to maximise the level of surge performance available in a single-sided flat chip design. The HPWC range targets protection and discharge applications in compact power supplies and power control circuits that need a resistance tolerance of five percent. Available in […]
