TI Introduces First 100V Synchronous Buck Regulator with Integrated MOSFETs

Texas Instruments Inc. (TI) announced an expansion of its high-voltage point-of-load product line by introducing what it says is the industry’s first 100V synchronous buck regulator with integrated MOSFETs. The 600mA LM5017 is the first in a new family of step-down switching regulators that reduce PCB area and system cost while improving high-voltage reliability in telecommunication, industrial, smart grid and automotive systems. Used in conjunction with the award-winning WEBENCH® online design tool, the LM5017 simplifies high-voltage dc-dc conversion and speeds the design process.

Recaps of Recent Capacitor Developments

The past several months have witnessed significant new product releases and technological developments related to the field of capacitor technology.

In June, Texas Instruments Inc. (TI) introduced what it says is the industry’s first fully integrated Li-Ion battery management integrated circuit (IC) for super capacitor charge control. This single device provides comprehensive features for managing charge control; measuring capacitance and effective series resistance (ESR); and protecting either 2-, 3-, 4- or 5-series super capacitors with individual capacitor control, or up to 9-series capacitors with stack control.
