FEATURED PRODUCTS 83mm Phase Control Thyristors IXYS Corporation announced that its wholly owned UK subsidiary, IXYS UK Westcode Ltd., launched a new addition to its 83mm die phase control thyristors product group. The thyristors, rated at 2200 volt, are the latest introduction to this new product group that uses an integrated die construction and improved package design for better electromechanical and thermal performances. The 2.2kV thyristor has an average current rating (Case temperature 55C) of 4340 amperes, with a junction to heat sink thermal resistance of 0.008 kelvins per watt. The new thyristor is constructed using an all diffused silicon wafer slice fused to a metal header and encapsulated in a fully hermetic package. This construction enhances the performance and provides excellent transient thermal and surge current ratings...Read More
Power Management ICs Reduce Carbon Footprint Fujitsu Semiconductor America introduced its new FM4 family of 32-bit RISC microcontrollers based on the ARM® Cortex™-M4 processor core. The MCUs are designed for applications that require advanced, high-speed computing performance, such as general-purpose inverters, servomotors, PLCs and other industrial equipment, as well as energy-efficient, inverter-based home appliances. The new FM4 family includes 84 MCUs in its MB9B560R/460R/360R/160R series...Read More
8-Channel Video Decoders & Audio Codecs The TW2968 is a low power NTSC/PAL video decoder chip that is designed for video surveillance applications. It consumes very low power in a typical composite input application. The available power down mode further reduces the power consumption. It uses the 1.0V for digital supply voltage and 3.3V for I/O and analog power. A single 27MHz crystal is all that needed to decode all analog video standards. The video decoder decodes the base-band analog CVBS into digital 8-bit 4:2:2 YCbCr for output...Read More
High-Voltage Sense Signal IC The device is available in 2 (SEN012) and 3 (SEN013) channel versions according to the application’s requirements. The internal gate drive and protection circuitry provides gate drive signals to the internal 650 V MOSFETs in response to the voltage applied to the VCC pin. This simple configuration provides easy integration into existing systems by using the system VCC rail as an input to the SENZero. The SENZero family uses a low cost compact SO-8 package to reduce PCB area while the pin configuration is designed to meet pin-pin fault conditions...Read More
