Many applications require current sources rather than voltage sources. When you need a high-current source, using a linear regulator is inadvisable, because of the high power dissipation in the series resistor. To solve the wasted-power problem, you can use a switch-mode regulator...

The S-85S0A Series introduces own distinctive low power consumption control and COT (Constant On-Time) control, features ultra low current consumption (260 nA quiescent current) and fast transient response, operates at PFM control...

Toshiba Electronics Europe announced the launch of new two mid-voltage, high-current photorelays, the 100 V TLP3823 with a 3 A drive current, and the 200 V TLP3825 with a 1.5 A drive current...

STMicroelectronics is extending choice and freedom for budget-conscious designers by introducing its new 8-bit STM8S001 microcontroller in the economical SO-8 package. Unlike most rivals, the STM8S001 has I²C, UART, and SPI interfaces, giving unusually versatile connectivity options...

Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and programmable automation controllers (PACs) are industrial computers constructed and adapted for manufacturing environments. These computers are the brains of a manufacturing operation, providing highly reliable control of automation equipment. PLCs and PACs are very similar to each other...

Analog Devices announces the LTC7004, a high speed, high side N-channel MOSFET driver that operates up to a 60 V supply voltage. Its internal charge pump fully enhances an external N-channel MOSFET switch, enabling it to remain on indefinitely...

Many applications require a sampling circuit whose output is inverted with regard to the respective sample of an input signal. A simple approach is a cascade of a common noninverting sample-and-hold amplifier and an inverting amplifier. A classic inverting amplifier is an op amp with voltage feedback from two resistors...

Trinamic Motion Control presents a new family of optical rotary encoders optimized for stepper motor servos...

Murata Manufacturing announces the release of our latest RAIN RFID tag designed for embeddable applications – p/n LXMSJZNCMF-198. This new product has been in production since August 2017...

Toshiba Electronics Europe announced the launch of three new additions to its line-up of H-bridge driver ICs for DC brushed motors and stepping motors used in mobile battery-drive equipment, home appliances, housing and facility equipment. TC78H630FNG has a single H-bridge with a 2.1 A rating and a low on-resistance of 0.4 Ω...
