Thin film haptic actuators create high-fidelity in a localized way
While piezoelectric haptic solutions are found in many applications, they are often large and heavy, thus shaking the entire device. KEMET’s new piezoelectric polymer film haptic actuators are thin (150 µm), flexible and conformable devices made from a proprietary, patent-protected paper-thin material, an electro-active polymer film, that enables piezoelectric effects to mimic the sense of […]
Sigma-delta modulators optimized for sensor signals in motor control, inverters, chargers
The STMicroelectronics ISOSD61 and ISOSD61L are high-accuracy isolated, second-order sigma-delta modulators that deliver enhanced performance and reliability in industrial applications such as motor control, electric-vehicle charging stations, solar inverters, UPS, and server and telecom power supplies. The ISOSD61 has TTL/CMOS-compatible clock-input and data-output signal levels, while the ISOSD61L is compatible with Low-Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS). Both types feature 16-bit analog-to-digital […]
Synchronous dc-dc converters boast super-wide input range, reduction in component count
The MAX17577 and MAX17578 from Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. are the industry’s smallest, highest-efficiency synchronous inverting DC-DC step-down converters. As Maxim’s first 60V inverting DC-DC converters with integrated level shifters, these devices save up to 72 percent of board space by reducing the component count by half while using 35 percent less energy than the closest competitive solutions. […]
