PCIM: 650V GaN FETs for 2kW ‘Titanium’ PSUs

 Nexperia has decreased on-resistance in its second-generation 650V GaN power transistors. “With Rds(on) performance typically down to 35mΩ [Tj 25°C], the GaN fets target single-phase ac-dc and dc-dc industrial switched mode power supplies ranging from 2kW to 10kW, especially server and telecoms supplies that must meet 80 Plus Titanium efficiency regulations. Branded as ‘H2’ and numbered GAN041-650WSB, they ...

Automotive three-axis linear accelerometer works across -40 to +115°C

ST has created  three-axis linear accelerometer for “non-safety”, it said, automotive applications including anti-theft, telematics, infotainment, tilt measurement, inclination measurement and vehicle navigation. Called AIS2IH, it has user-selectable full-scales covering ±2, 4, 8 and 16g (survivable shock is 10,000g), and output data rates between 1.6Hz and 1.6kHz. There are five modes all-told, one nominally high-performance and ...
