Aimtec's Cost-effective, Wide-range Switching Regulators
Aimtec releases a new series of cost effective switching regulators that targets applications with wide input voltages. Operating at efficiency rates as high as 94%, the new AMSRB-78-Z series of non-isolated step down DC/DC converters are pin-to-pin replacements to legacy linear regulators that consume much more valuable PCB space, which is why switching regulators are one of fastest growing segments in low power DC/DC converters market.
The AMSRB-78-Z series delivers up to 7.5W of power, with at maximum output currents of 500mA at high efficiency of up to 94%, and supports wide input ranges from 4.5VDC to 28VDC. Emerging and existing applications striving to meeting new energy efficiency standards will also benefit from important features such as:
* Continuous Short Circuit Protection, with Auto Recovery
* Operating temperature range of -40°C to + 85°C (with
derating above 70°C or 65°C on 12V and 15V models)
Opinion: Maximising Synergies between Power Electronics and ICT for improving Energy Efficiency
* High MTBF with expected lifetime of > 4,000,000 hours
* Free air convection cooling, no heat sink is required
* Extra low no load current
* Highly regulated outputs of 3.3, 5, 12, or 15VDC
Designed in a compact, SIP3 packages (11.68 x 9.65 x 7.50mm), AMSRB-78-Z is pin compatible to the TO-220 package for low profile circuit implementations such as portable power and standby-power applications.
Samples of Aimtec's AMSRB-78-Z series of DC-DC switching regulator converters can be ordered immediately from any of Aimtec's global network of Franchised Distributors.

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.
