When cooled by free air convection, these power supplies are rated for 200W. They are rated for 300W with 20.5CFM forced air. They include a 12Vdc/0.5A fan supply and a standby supply of 5V/1A More.

#15: Integrated Power Modules with 7th Generation IGBTs

Mitsubishi Electric Corporation announced today that it will begin shipping samples of its new G1 series intelligent power module (IPM) featuring seventh-generation IGBTs, comprising three different packages and 52 models in total. The new modules deliver reduced power loss and improved reliability for general-purpose inverters, servo amplifier, elevators and other industrial equipment. Sample shipments will begin in May. More.

#14: SiC Schottky Optimized for High-Efficiency PFC Circuits

ROHM has recently announced the availability of 3rd generation SiC Schottky Barrier Diodes (SBDs) optimized for power supply PFC circuits in servers and high performance PCs. The SCS3 series adopts a new structure that improves upon the industry-low VF characteristics of ROHM's 2nd Generation SiC SBDs (1.35V at 25 degrees C) while providing increased surge resistance. This contributes to greater application efficiency, enabling support for power supply PFC circuits in servers, high-performance PCs, and the like. ROHM's 3rd Generation SiC SBDs are currently available in the TO-220ACP package. A surface mount type (TO-263AB) is scheduled for future release based on market demands. More.

#13: DC-DC Converters for Wearables and EH-Powered Devices

Torex Semiconductor Ltd. has launched the XC9272 series of synchronous step-down dc-dc converters. These converters support a low output voltage under 1.0V and achieve an ultra-low supply current. The newly-launched dc-dc converters support a low output voltage from 0.60 to 0.95V, and achieves an ultra-low supply current of 0.5µA. This enables power to be supplied with high-efficiency to chipsets that require a core voltage under 1.0V and maximizes the performance of low-voltage chipsets. More.

#12: 150A POLs Feature Two Digital Control Buses

Bellnix has added the 150A BDP series non-isolated point of load (POL) step-down dc-dc converters.
