10W non-isolated mains-to-dc converter

Diodes has released a non-isolated 10W power supply IC that delivers up to 10W or 600mA from universal mains. It has an internal 700V mosfet and works with mains from 85Vac to 300Vac, and typically with peak current up to 1.1A. “A key differentiator of this switcher IC is that it supports conventional off-line non-isolated ...

Rack mount spectrum monitors reach 43.5GHz

Anritsu has created the MS27201A remote spectrum monitor series, that includes a 43.5GHz version for new satellite downlink bands. A 110MHz measurement bandwidth supports common satellite downlink spans, DANL (displayed average noise level) is -164dBm and the typical TOI (third-order intercept point) is +20dBm. Other MS27201A versions work up to 9GHz or 20GHz. All work down ...

Sinewave driver for quiet motors needs no sensors

Toshiba has announced a three-phase brushless dc motor driver with sensor-less sinewave control. The IC, called TC78B011FTG, is a ‘pre-driver’ in the company’s nomenclature because it needs six external mosfets wired as a three-phase bridge to switch motor current. Operation is from 5.5 to 27V, and the same IC can implement either closed-loop or open-loop ...
