15kW 210V variable PSU can source or sink up to 150A

Netherlands-based Delta Elektronika has added a 210V variant to its SM15K family of 15kW bi-directional power supplies. Fitting into a 3U rack slot and called SM210-CP-150, its output is bounded (curve below) by 15kW maximum power, +210V maximum voltage and ±150A maximum current. Within its range it can output:  210V, ±71.5A 150V, ±100A 100V, ±150A Up ...

Rohm optimises power Schottkys for automotive use

Rohm has added 24 Schottky diodes for protection and rectification in automotive, industrial and consumer applications. Rohm diode line-up When Schottky barrier diodes are used, “if forward voltage lowered to improve efficiency, reverse current, which is inversely related to forward voltage, will become higher”, according to the company. “This increases the risk of thermal runaway, so ...

RTOS eliminates periodic tick interrupt for lower CPU power

Segger has eliminated periodic tick interrupts in an RTOS, replacing the typically 1ms system tick with a single-shot hardware timer that generates interrupts when, and only when, necessary, it said. Dubbing the technique ‘cycle-resolution timing’, “scheduling of all time-based events, such as time-outs, delays and periodic timers, can now be specified in microseconds or CPU cycles”. It ...
