The TC7SB3157CFU from Toshiba Electronics Europe (TEE) is a 1-bit SPDT (single pole double throw) bus switch for high-speed digital applications requiring a 5V interface. With low I/O terminal capacitance (CI/O) and on resistance (RON) the new device is suitable for switching high-speed data traffic.

NXP Semiconductors has launched the SSL2109 – a high-efficiency buck controller for high-power, non-dimmable LED lighting applications using non-isolated topologies. Designed for use with an external power switch, the SSL2109 LED driver IC provides a single design platform for 100V, 120V and 230V mains input voltages and power ranges up to 25 W.

UNIPOWER LLC has launched a new 80W power supply platform with up to four outputs that can be quickly configured to order while maintaining all international safety approvals. Part of UNIPOWER’s EASYMOD family of power platforms, the AE-080U can be quickly configured to provide output combinations and user defined features not available with standard power supplies.

Allegro MicroSystems has launched the A8601, a fixed-frequency, multiple-output voltage regulator IC designed to provide the LCD display bias in automotive infotainment applications.

New from Torex Semiconductor the XCL208/XCL209 is a family of 400mA micro DC/DC Step-Down Converters with integrated coil. Measuring only 2.5mm x 2.15mm x 1.05mm, the series is designed to minimise EMC emissions and maximise efficiency, while delivering a very stable output with low peak to peak ripple Voltage (<10mV).

Ericsson has announced an extension to its 3E Gold Design Kit with the launch of two new development board kits. Launched last year the 3E Gold Edition Design Kit has been used by board and system architects and enables the easy implementation of the company’s Advanced Bus Converters – the BMR453 and BMR454 – and its 3E PMBus-compliant Point-of-Load DC-DC regulators.

Amantys, an intelligent power switch company, has unveiled Power Insight, a product enhancement that delivers real-time power switch performance metrics through the existing control interface. The product has been designed to integrate across various application areas, including locomotive traction, medium voltage motor drives, wind turbine inverters and high voltage DC infrastructure.

Driven by power efficiency standards and end-system requirements, power supply designers need energy efficient solutions that shrink their applications power supply form factor without compromising power density. The new FDMC8010 30V Power 33 MOSFET from Fairchild Semiconductor has been designed to address this issue and to deliver best-in-class power density and low conduction loss in a 3.3mm x 3.3mm PQFN form factor.

ON Semiconductor has introduced a new series of switching buck regulators for space-constrained, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) sensitive automotive entertainment and infotainment applications.  Highly integrated these devices offer leading conversion ratios for battery connected switch-mode power supplies.

Intersil Corporation has unveiled iSim v4.1, an upgrade to its web-based non-inverting and inverting op amp design tools. These tools build on the previously released Active Filter Designer and expand the solution set offered by Intersil’s interactive online tools.
