Leaded disk varistors handle up to 680 V rms
TDK Corporation presents the EPCOS B72307S0* (StandarD S07 Compact Series) and B72310S0* (StandarD S10 Compact Series) series of extremely compact, leaded disk varistors. The new varistors cover a wide voltage range from 115 V RMS to 460 V RMS in the StandarD S07 Compact series and from 130 V RMS to 680 V RMS in the StandarD S10 Compact series. The maximum surge […]
Confused about RF-band letter designations? That’s not surprising!
Frequency bands within the electromagnetic spectrum have multiple, sometimes confusing, overlapping designations. Electronics engineers must deal with the electromagnetic spectrum as a routine part of their wired and wireless projects. This spectrum of interest ranges from relatively low frequencies in the kilohertz (kHz) range (or perhaps lower) into the tens and even hundreds of gigahertz […]
MCU-compensated XOs feature high stability, low power consumption
The QT2020 Series of microcomputer compensated crystal oscillators provide exceptional temperature stability (up to ±20ppb at -40 to +85°C) while consuming a maximum of 90 mW. The QT2020 small form-factor package weighs just 50 gm, compared to comparable oven-controlled (OCXO) units weighing 100 gm or more. This significant improvement in size, weight, and power (SWaP) […]
Programmable attenuators cover dc to 40 GHz
A new series of programmable attenuators covers broadband RF, microwave and mmWave frequencies ranging from dc to 40 GHz. They provide greater flexibility and programmability by allowing different values of RF signal attenuation on demand. These new high-performance attenuators are available in TTL, USB or relay-controlled options. They also feature switching speeds of 0.35 μsec […]
RF power sensors cover –60 to +20 dBm, 50 MHz to 50 GHz range
The new R&S NRPxxP RF sensor family includes units with a measurement bandwidth up to 30 MHz, a new improved design and an extended frequency range. The three-model family covers frequency ranges from 50 MHz to 18 GHz, 50 MHz to 40 GHz, and a new top model for 50 MHz to 50 GHz. R&S […]
Isolated gate driver reference design for SiC FET modules targets EV, industrial apps
An isolated gate driver reference design operates with Wolfspeed’s Silicon Carbide (SiC) Field Effect Transistor (FET) power modules. The new Si828x gate driver board (GDB) kit from Skyworks simplifies design and enables increased integration for automotive applications by replacing competing designs with more complex gate driver board layouts. Designed and tested for Wolfspeed XM3 SiC […]
