The STMicroelectronics STPM801 is the market’s first automotive-qualified integrated hot-swap and ideal-diode controller featured for functional-safety applications. The ideal-diode controller drives an external MOSFET replacing a Schottky diode conventionally used for reverse-input protection and output-voltage holdup. The reduced voltage drop across the MOSFET reduces power dissipation during normal operation, compared to the forward voltage of the Schottky diode. When…

Texas Instruments (TI) has debuted the industry’s first stand-alone active electromagnetic interference (EMI) filter integrated circuits (ICs), enabling engineers to implement smaller, lighter EMI filters, to enhance system functionality at reduced system cost — while simultaneously meeting EMI regulatory standards. As electrical systems become increasingly dense and interconnected, mitigating EMI is a critical system design…

Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation has launched “DF2B6M4BSL,” an ultra-low capacitance TVS diode for high-frequency antennas. The diode protects semiconductors and other electronic components from static electricity and noise while suppressing signal deterioration. Electronic components in the high-frequency antennas used in radio communications, such as Wi-Fi, need to be protected by suppressing high harmonic distortion.…

The highest possible system efficiency is a key requirement for modern power electronics, which is driving the development of increasingly higher power densities. However, high-system values are at stake should short-circuit events occur. To prevent this and enable systems with the best protection, Infineon Technologies is expanding its portfolio of isolated EiceDRIVER Enhanced gate drivers…
