A buck regulator module housed in a 15- × 22- × 7.87-mm BGA package can power two 50A loads or one 100A load, and current is sharable to 800A with eight in parallel.
The physical kilogram, the last of the physical primary-standard artifacts, has been made obsolete. The world’s metrology and standards organization voted to define all physical standards in terms of just seven universal constants.
Sponsored by Digi-Key and Analog Devices: To prevent the propagation of dc and unwanted ac currents between input and output, while passing the desired signal, isolation is needed. Here are some ways to ease its integration into motor-control design.
Sponsored by IDT: Energy-constrained IEEE 802.15.4 sensors and devices will form a major portion of the IoT and must meet IPv6 protocols. 6LoWPAN will make that happen.
Sponsored by IDT: While advances such as fast USB charging are now entering the wireless-power-transfer fray, Qi is the go-to solution for most of the industry.
Sponsored by Texas Instruments: FOC capability, once considered too expensive to implement in cost-sensitive applications, is now possible using a microprocessor family combined with an innovative new module.
Sponsored by Digi-Key and ON Semiconductor/Kemet: These components, typically built to withstand tough conditions, are critical for maintaining the reliability and long-term life of energy-harvesting systems that are often installed outdoors.
