LV UltraMOV Varistors from Littelfuse offer Higher Surge Current Ratings in Smaller Disc Sizes
Littelfuse, Inc. has introduced the LV UltraMOV™ Series of low-voltage, high-surge-current, radial-leaded varistors. They are designed to provide circuit protection solution for lower dc voltage applications by offering higher surge ratings than ever before available in such small disc sizes. Their high peak-surge current rating provides superior protection against high peak surges, including indirect lightning strike interference, system switching transients and abnormal fast transients from the power source. Typical applications of these devices include LED lighting drivers, cordless phones, wireless base stations, audio devices, mobile phone chargers, security systems, fire alarm systems and automation control systems (PLCs).

“The LV UltraMOV Series is unrivaled in the industry in terms of its surge current rating, energy handling capabilities, and ability to withstand multiple strikes; no competitive product comes close,” said Johnny Chang, Product Manager, LV UltraMOV Series Varistor product line. “For example, a 10mm LV UltraMOV Series Varistor offers a maximum surge current rating that’s four times higher than a standard MOV of the same size.”
Key features of the LV UltraMOV Series Varistors include: Breakthrough in low-voltage varistor design provides high-peak-surge current rating; Reduced footprint and volume required for surge protection; High energy absorption capability; High resistance to temperature cycling; Optional phenolic coating; Lead-free, halogen-free, and RoHS compliant.

Application benefits of using these devices can include: Increased long-term reliability due to the ability to handle higher surges over the end product's lifetime; More board space is available for higher value functional components; Lower weight and cost for end product from use of a smaller disc; Higher surge handling density in critical surge protection device module solutions; Higher operating temperature range—up to 125°C; And an environmentally-friendly product.
The LV UltraMOV Series Varistors are available in bulk, tape and reel, and ammo packaging. Samples are available now for bulk orders.

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.
