ProTek's New TVS Components Protect Power, AC-DC and Telecom Devices
ProTek Devices has added three new transient voltage suppressor (TVS) components to provide voltage surge circuit protection in power supplies, ac-dc devices and telecommunications equipment. The SMAJ5.0CA and SMAJ36A are 400 Watt TVS diodes. The SMBJ5.0A and SMBJ33CA are 600 Watt TVS diodes. And, the SMCJ5.0C and SMCJ33A are 1,500 Watt TVS diodes.

All the new devices are delivered with IEC standards compatibility for 61000-4-2 (ESD), 61000-4-4 (EFT), and 61000-4-5 (Surge). The TVS diodes are glass passivated chips and deliver 400, 600 and 1,500 Watts peak pulse power per line (typical = 10/1000ms), respectively. They provide low leakage current and bidirectional and unidirectional configurations. In addition, all the TVS components offer excellent clamping capabilities and very fast response times. The components are all RoHS and REACH compliant.
The SMAJ5.0CA and SMAJ36A provide power dissipation on an infinite heat sink - at lead temperature = 75 degrees Celsius - of 1.0 Watts. It has a peak forward surge current - 8.3ms single half sinewave, unidirectional only - of 40 amps. Its maximum instantaneous forward voltage at 25A - unidirectional only - is 3.5/5.0 Volts.

The SMBJ5.0A and SMBJ33CA deliver power dissipation on an infinite heat sink - at lead temperature = 75 degrees Celsius - of 5.0 Watts. Its peak forward surge current - 8.3ms single half sinewave, unidirectional only - is 100 amps. The maximum instantaneous forward voltage at 50A - unidirectional only - is 3.5/5.0 Volts.
The SMCJ5.0C and SMCJ33A provide power dissipation on an infinite heat sink - at lead temperature = 75 degrees Celsius - of 6.5 Watts. The peak forward surge current - 8.3ms single half sinewave, unidirectional only - is 200 amps. And, the maximum instantaneous forward voltage at 100A - unidirectional only - is 3.5/5.0 Volts.

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.
