200-W half-brick converters feature 14-to-160-V inputs
TDK Corporation announces the introduction of the 200W-rated TDK-Lambda PYH200 series of half-brick DC-DC converters. Capable of operating from an ultra-wide 12:1 input voltage of 14 to 160Vdc, the converters are compatible with 24V, 48V, 72V, or 110Vdc nominal system voltages. Applications include railroad rolling stock and trackside equipment, robotics, power generation, and scientific research […]
12 GHz: Claims and counterclaims take hold
FCC records are full of comments, replies, reports, and a slide deck citing contrasting positions on 12 GHz and the feasibility of it becoming part of 5G frequency allocations. Proponents of using 12 GHz for 5G have filed an updated report with the FCC claiming that 5G can share the 12.2 GHz to 12.7 GHz…
GNSS antennas feature near-band filtering
Tallysman Wireless is announcing that it has added eXtended Filtering (XF) to the housed and embedded lightweight HC977XF (triple-band + L-Band), HC882XF (dual band + L-Band), and HC872XF (dual-band (GPS and GLONASS) + L-Band) precision helical GNSS antennas. Tallysman has designed the XF feature to mitigate interference from all near-band signals and ensure that the […]
New backshells give EMI/RFI protection to horizontal Gecko connectors
Harwin has introduced horizontal backshells for its Gecko-Screw-Lok (Gecko-SL) series of lightweight, high-reliability (Hi-Rel) connectors. These backshells ensure a fully EMI/RFI shielded connection for horizontal 1.25-mm pitch board-to-cable connections. Previously Gecko EMI/RFI shielding was only available on vertical board-to-cable orientations. This new development will be of real value to applications requiring EMI/RFI protection, but where […]
Dual-channel low-side 4/5-A gate driver ICs handle fast MOSFET, WBG switches
Infineon Technologies AG has released the new EiceDRIVER 2EDN product family. Aiming at space-limited designs, the next-generation devices complement the existing 2EDN driver ICs by providing higher system-level efficiencies, excellent power density, and consistent system robustness with fewer external components. Building upon this expansion, the 2EDN family is now able to drive the power switch […]
Positioning module uses inertial sensors to delivery meter-level GNSS accuracy
u-blox has announced the NEO-M9V global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receiver. The first u-blox positioning receiver to offer both untethered dead reckoning (UDR) and automotive dead reckoning (ADR), NEO-M9V is a perfect fit for fleet management and micro mobility applications that require reliable meter-level positioning accuracy even in challenging GNSS signal environments such as urban […]
Plug-and-play gate drivers handle 3.3-kV IGBT modules
Power Integrations announced SCALE-iFlex Single gate-drivers for the popular “New Dual” 100 mm x 140 mm IGBT modules. The compact new drivers support modules up to 3.3 kV and are available now for design-in. The SCALE-iFlex Single gate-drivers are ideal for light-rail, renewable energy generation, and other high-reliability applications that demand compact, rugged driver solutions. […]
