ICE Components Offers High Creepage/Low Leakage Inductance Gate Drive Transformer
ICE Components, Inc. announced a product line expansion with the GT05 Series of Gate Drive transformers for use in off-line switching power supplies. The GT05 is based upon the GT03 series, but uses what is described as a new innovative header design to increase creepage and simplify assembly. ICE uses a toroid design in the design of both the GT03 Series and the GT05 Series.
Key features of each include low leakage inductance, multiple winding configurations, excellent E-T ratings, Hi-Pot ratings up to 3,750Vac and high creepage distances suitable for most applications. "The toroidal design of both the GT03 and GT05 Series provides a key benefit of low leakage inductance." said Robin Benas, Engineering Manager for ICE Components. "Much lower than what can be found in E core based designs. Low leakage inductance reduces time delay and ringing in the drive signal, which are key in gate drive circuit performance."quo;
The GT05 features E-T ratings up to 100V-uS and a creepage distance of 8.7mm. At just 11 x 13 x 6.8mm in size, the GT05"s SMT package is suitable for a wide variety of applications including high density dc-dc, high power ac-dc, medical and industrial.
The GT03 features three creepage distance options each with multiple E-T products and turns ratios. The -A is rated for a 1,500 Vac Hi-Pot and is suitable for working voltage applications. It features E-T products up to 110 V-uSec and six winding configurations. The -B has a creepage distance of 3mm and is Hi-Pot rated at 3,750Vac. It features an E-T rating up to 69 V-uSec and is available in three winding configurations. The -C has a creepage distance of 8mm and is Hi-Pot rated at 3,750 V-uSec. It features an E-T rating up to 69 V-uSec and is available in three winding configurations.
Parts are available with prices as low as $0.56 for 10k pcs of the GT05 and $0.58 for 10k pieces of the GT03-A. Individual parts pricing may vary due to volume and model.

Energy Efficiency with Class D Amplifier Modules
Class-D switching amplifiers are helping audio designers create personal multimedia devices and home audio/visual systems that demonstrate how compact and stylish equipment can also deliver high sound quality and high audio output power. The key to this breakthrough, providing freedom from the large and bulky boxes housing traditional audio products, lies in the class-D amplifier’s high energy efficiency, which is typically around 90%. This allows designers to reduce or eliminate heatsinks as well as using smaller-sized PCBs and smaller components such as transformers, connectors and power supplies.

The Role of Hall Effect Sensors in Power Distribution Infrastructure
Power distribution units (PDUs) form an essential part of modern computing and data communications hardware. They provide multiple outputs for transferring electrical power with maximum efficiency, controlling the power capacity and safeguarding against the possible causes of supply interruption. With an ever increasing need from tech savvy consumers for higher data throughput and greater quantities of data storage capacity, as well as tough international legislation now governing CO&sub2; emissions, the demands being placed on these units are proving challenging for engineering teams to satisfy.
