Modern power supplies are characterised by claims of ever higher efficiencies, but can designers rely on datasheet specifications, asks Bernhard Erdl, PULS Power
Marvell has released the lowest power PCIe Gen4 NVMe Solid-State Drive (SSD) controller portfolio. Marvell’s newest SSD controllers are designed to meet the need for lower power and higher performance in next-gen data centres and edge devices as AI and 5G gain momentum.
Availability of the THL 15WI series of shielded 15W DC-DC converters from Swiss power supply specialist TRACO Power is announced by RS Components. Designed to be reliable but cost efficient, THL 15WI devices are certified to the latest IEC/EN/UL 62368-1 IT safety standards.
The most advanced 3D digital modelling of the UK's electricity grid will be launched by electricity network operator SP Energy Networks as it plans to introduce Fugro’s virtual technology to reduce the risk of power cuts and prepares for the introduction of the technology across its network in the future.
Discrete solutions can be used to implement input power protection, but they come with trade-offs. Adding in necessary protection features using discrete components takes up a lot of space and contributes to poor thermal performance.
GaN is making possible what was once thought to be impossible in many industries. Alex Lidow, EPC, explains how GaN technology is contributing to significant improvements in medicine
Power supplies for medical systems have a particular set of constraints to meet patient and operator safety in extreme environments, says Richard Thrussell, SIGA Electronics
A 60V TrenchFET Gen IV n-channel power MOSFET has been introduced by Vishay Intertechnology. It is optimised for standard gate drives to deliver maximum on-resistance down to 4mΩ at 10V in the thermally enhanced 3.3mm by 3.3mm PowerPAK 1212-8S package.
