Pint-sized electrolytics have 3mΩ ESR for PoL dc-dc

Panasonic has used conductive polymer technology to produce surface-mount aluminium electrolytic capacitors with 3mΩ max equivalent series resistance (ESR, 100kHz +20°C) in a 7.3 x 4.3 x 2.8mm package. The parts are intended as input or output capacitors on dc-dc converters. Maximum ripple current is 10.2A (100kHz +45°C – less at high temperature). Called the EEF-GY ...

Ceramic capacitors for fast high voltage PSUs

Kemet is aiming at fast-switching wide bandgap semiconductor (GaN or SiC) power supplies with high-voltage multi-chip ceramic capacitor assemblies. The parts, branded ‘KC-Link with Konnekt’, feature multiple separate ceramic capacitors bonded together using a copper-tin alloy by a process dubbed ‘transient liquid phase scintering’ (TLPS) – see diagram. “High mechanical robustness allows KC-Link capacitors with Konnekt ...

Compact waterproof ac-dc PSUs put power conversion into the heart of industry

Puls Power has introduced a 500W industrial point-of-load ac-dc power supply that is environmentally protected in its own right, allowing installation without an additional cabinet. The target is industrial power decentralisation, where multiple small ac-dc PSUs are placed around an installation next to their loads, rather that having one large ac-dc PSU and a local ...

US opens 6GHz band for Wi-Fi

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has allocated its 6GHz spectrum to un-licensed use, opening 5.925 – 7.125GHz for uses such as Wi-Fi in the US. Unlicenced users will share it with licensed utility, public safety and wireless back-haul microwave services, and to protect these there are rules including only allowing low-power indoor operations over the ...
