SIMO PMIC Cuts Battery Life for Wearables
Maxim Integrated has announced the MAX77654, a single inductor, multiple output (SIMO) PMIC. This device provides 3 outputs with just one inductor at 91% efficiency. That’s 16% greater than traditional 4-chip systems, says Maxim. With significantly reduced solution size, system designers can pack more functionality in their applications such as wearables, hearables and other compact consumer devices.
Surface Mount DC-DC Converter is Ultra-Thin
CUI has announced the addition of its first four-contact, surface mount, non-isolated converter to its DC-DC converter line. The ultra-thin VXO78-500-M features a 500mA output current, no-load input current as low as 0.2mA and a wide -40°C to +85°C temperature range.

600W Power Module is
OVC III-Certified
TDK has announced the TDK-Lambda PH600A280-24 DC-DC converter. Rated at 24V 600W, this further extends the 280VDC nominal input PH-A series from 50W to 600W. Certification to the safety standard EN 62477-1 (OVC III) benefits users requiring compliance to the machinery safety standard IEC 60204-1.
Building a Generator Control System
Three-phase electrical power is a critical technology for heavy machinery. Learn how these US Coast Guard Academy students built a physical generator set model capable of producing three-phase electricity. The article steps through the power sensors, master controller and DC-DC conversion design choices they faced with this project.
Power Modules Target Industrial
Motor Drives
ON Semiconductor has expanded its portfolio for industrial motor drive applications. ON Semiconductor announced the NXH25C120L2C2, NXH35C120L2C2/2C2E, and NXH50C120L2C2E, which are 25A, 35A, and 50A versions of Transfer-Molded Power Integrated Modules (TM-PIM) for 1200V applications. They are available in Converter-Inverter-Brake (CIB) and Converter-Inverter (CI) configurations.
