2019-01 Power Power Integrations

[Jan 30 2019] PI's half-bridge motor drive circuit is used with household 30-300W electrical DC motors, especially for BLDC programmable efficiency, but not suitable for battery-powered low-voltage DC motor applications. The half-bridge driver can replace MOSFETs and drive IGBTs more safely because of its high heat dissipation efficiency and no heat sink is required. From the internal structure of the chip, th ...

2019-01 Power Trinamic Motion Control GmbH

[Jan 26 2019] The Internet of Things is inextricably linked to sensors. But how it fails to act on the vast amounts of data it acquires will be meaningless. Reliable electric actuators that connect door locks, valves, and heating vents are the behind-the-scenes heroes behind the "T" that delivers real value to iot. Through the ROCINANTE family, TRINAMIC announced the world's first single-chip motor driver circ ...
