Vishay launched four 600-V FRED Pt Hyperfast rectifiers that reduce switching losses in high-efficiency PFC and SMPS applications. The four devices are optimized for high-efficiency PFC and high-power-efficiency SMPS applications, and as adaptors for desktop PCs, servers, wide screen PDPs and LCDs, hybrid systems, UPS, and solar power systems. The...

Renesas Technology announced the development of the Flexible Movie Player video/audio playback software package for embedded systems using the SH-Mobile application processor for mobile phones. The software will be available from July 2008 in Japan. Flexible Movie Player is software designed for the SH-Mobile, which incorporates full hardware accel...

Emerson Network Power has expanded its portfolio of ac-dc power adapters with the launch of a 72 watt model. The AD72 power adapter features a universal 90-264 Vac input and produces a single, fully regulated 16 Vdc output capable of delivering up to 4.5 A continuously. AD72 freestanding ac-dc power adapters provide a very flexible, pre-approved po...

AMS Technologies announces the availability of the new version of CoolitPCB, a software for board analysis developed by Daat Research Corporation. CoolitPCB calculates fine mesh models in the time it takes competitors to deliver coarse grid answers. The software costs $5900 for a perpetual license. The tool handles transient and steady state lamina...

LynuxWorks supports the Xilinx Virtex-5 FXT platform with its BlueCat Linux real time operating system (RTOS). The solution is the first of a number of RTOS products planned for the Virtex-5 platform. LynuxWorks supports both the Power Architecture and the MicroBlaze processor. This single configurable platform is capable of running two operating s...

AnalogicTech’s AAT1153 is a 1.2MHz constant frequency, current mode step-down converter capable of delivering up to 2A of output current. It is available in a 3x3mm TDFN package. The device supplies up to 2A output current from a 2.5V to 5.5V input. Output voltage can range from 0.6V to VIN. Current mode operation offers excellent line and lo...

Sharp introduces the 2,500:1 High Contrast Automotive TFT LCD. The contrast ratio enables improved readability, while maintaining the high reliability and durability demanded by in-vehicle applications with an operating temperature of -30°C to 85°C. The 8 inch screen is therefore predestined for the design of high-end instrument panels wher...

Weidmüller’s Power Solid-State Relays (PSSR) are available as single- and three-phase versions. In comparison with contactors and standard relays PSSRs switch without any wear and are totally silent. They can cope with capacitive and inductive current spikes. With integrated zero-voltage switching, single-phase PSSRs are eminently suitab...

Toshiba Electronics Europe has expanded its family of low drop out (LDO) voltage regulators with a series of CMOS devices. Available with output voltages from 1.5V to 5.0V, devices in this LDO regulator family (TCR5SBxx series) deliver a maximum output current of 200mA and are supplied in a SOT25 (SMV) package. The LDO regulators have a typical qui...

Synopsys announced that its DesignWare USB 2.0 nanoPHY is the first 45-nanometer USB 2.0 PHY intellectual property (IP) to successfully pass the USB Implementers Forum Hi-Speed USB PHY certification. Synopsys' USB 2.0 nanoPHY mixed-signal IP, now available in the 45-nm process node, uses half the power and die area compared to previous USB PHY IP s...
