Mouser Debuts Power Supply Technology Site to Charge Design Development
Mouser Electronics, Inc. broadcasts its launch of a new Power Supply technology site on Mouser.com. The new site contains technical information that refines design engineers' exploration of power supply solutions that best answer their unique design requirements. Additionally, the site highlights the newest power supply solutions from Texas Instruments, TDK-Lambda, GE Energy, Microchip Technology, Murata Power Solutions and STMicroelectronics, to mention a few.
The new Power Supply site addresses design-from-scratch or ready-made power supply solutions and focuses on Switched-Mode Power Supplies (SMPS), plus covers the four most-often-used topologies. Due to their higher efficiency, smaller size, and lighter weight, switching regulators are frequently preferred to linear regulators. Also, standard source voltages may not match the levels required by microprocessors, motors, LEDs, or other loads, especially when the source voltage is not regulated. The site helps design engineers navigate the benefits of SMPS.
In addition, the engineer can explore UPS and AC/DC power applications through block diagram navigation. The site provides extra resources to help stimulate design development such as in-depth industry articles, white papers and a comprehensive library of technical resources that can be reviewed by topic or supplier. A Featured Products guide and user-friendly graphical interface is designed to speed navigation. Which means engineers can quickly navigate to find products and information based on defined parameters and design requirements. To visit the Power Supply Technology site, go to https://www.mouser.com/power-supply-technology

Kevin Hess, Mouser Vice President of Technical Marketing, adds "Every product on the design table needs some sort of power solution to make it work. The 'make vs. buy' decision for power supplies is critical in determining overall system cost and performance. The general purpose of our Power Supply site is to educate, help narrow the list of products, and find the right products for their design projects. The overriding objective is to transform knowledge into design know-how -- all with the simple click of a mouse."

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.
