Toshiba is in volume production of MOSFETs that incorporate an active-clamp structure with a built-in diode between the drain and gate terminals. With the requirement for a minimum of external components the single SSM3K357R and the dual SSM6N357R are suited to drive inductive loads, such as mechanical relays or solenoids. The new 357 series protects ...

ST has introduced new software for implementing a Type-C Port Manager (TCPM) on any general-purpose STM32 microcontroller. Compliant with the USB TCPCi specification, and designed to manage a separate single- or multi-port TCPC chip, ST’s X-CUBE-USB-PD stack implements the protocol layer and policy engine of the USB Power Delivery Specification (USB-PD 3.0 v1.1). The stack ...
