For power electronics design engineers looking for high current devices capable of providing current-sense and surge protection functions in high temperature environments, TT electronics IRC offers a series of open-air current sense resistors. The OARS-3 Series surface mount metal alloy strip resistors feature a flameproof open-air design that elevates the device’s “hot spot” above the […]

(AP) — A secretive Silicon Valley startup working on a new way to produce cleaner energy is taking the wraps off its product: a huge box of fuel cells that it hopes will allow homes and businesses to generate their own electricity. The technology from Bloom Energy, already used at major companies such as Google […]

Nujira announced that the company’s Coolteq.h family of Envelope-Tracking modules now directly interface with Texas Instruments’ GC5322 and GC5325 digital predistortion (DPD) transmit processors and development boards. OEMs can now reduce operating expenses by more than 25 percent as a result of higher efficiency, improved linearity and reduced system power consumption over a wide bandwidth […]

(Gizmag) – What kid doesn’t like kicking around a soccer ball? Imagine if this fun activity could also provide enough energy to power something useful in a modest off-grid African village, like a reliable light to cook by or an emergency mobile phone. The sOccket is a prototype soccer ball that captures kinetic energy when […]

Editor’s note: If you are attending APEC later this month, be sure to attend the Smart Grid Rap Session Tuesday evening at 5. (Information Week) – Utility companies will invest more than $21 billion on cybersecurity over the next five years to protect the world’s electrical grids, according to a new report. With cybersecurity a […]

Linear Technology’s LTC3604 high efficiency, 4 MHz synchronous buck regulator incorporates a unique constant frequency/controlled on-time, current mode architecture. It can deliver up to 2.5 A of continuous output current at output voltages as low as 0.6 V from a 3mm x 3 mm QFN or MSOP-16E package. Its current mode operation offers desirable line […]

Absopulse Electronics’ FTT 3K Series modular AC/AC frequency converter system uses microprocessor controlled, high frequency PWM technology to deliver 3-Phase, 3000VA continuous sine-wave output power, from a 3-phase input. Standard versions of the FTT 3K system provide three-phase outputs of 208 V, 380 V or 400 V (L-L) at 50 Hz, 60 Hz or 400 […]
