Power Integrations

For more than 100 years, our homes have been powered by AC electricity. With the transition to renewable energy, DC power is gaining momentum. Could we see a future of DC-only transmission and distribution? Read Mr. Green's newest blog to learn more: https://okt.to/7nXZ1O

SCALE-iFlex LT NTC family of plug-and-play gate driver boards provide Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) data, which enables accurate thermal management of converter systems and ensures proper current sharing. They dramatically enhance the overall system reliability of renewable energy and rail systems with multiple modules arrayed in parallel. Thorsten Schmidt explains in a video:

PI's new InnoMux-2 switcher ICs are the ideal solution for multi-output power supplies that require high efficiency and accurate regulation for each output. But every power supply is different. Is InnoMux-2 the right choice for your multi-output design? In this new video, our expert Han Cui guides you through selecting the best solution to meet your needs.

element14 Electronics' RoadTest on Design Kit RDK-877 from PI has concluded with high scores across the board! Testers #flyingbean and #JWx both gave the design 4.5 stars out of 5 in their comprehensive test reports: https://okt.to/8aHYb3 RDK-877 is a 6 W flyback design for home appliances features a LinkSwitch-TNZ IC. It combines power conversion with lossless generation of AC zero crossing signals. You can order your own kit here: https://okt.to/wjanB7

Thomas Anthony Capobianco gave a popular presentation at PCIM Europe earlier this month, which introduces a method for evaluating package safety isolation in a power conversion IC. A white paper based on the presentation is published on our website. Download it now - https://okt.to/T84hV0

EBV Elektronik's Summer Tech Day was in Barcelona earlier this month. PI technical experts presented highly integrated products that improve efficiency and reliability, including InnoMux-2 ICs for multi-output power supplies, InnoSwitch ICs for ultra-compact adapters, and BridgeSwitch-2 motor driver ICs for high-voltage BLDC motors.

Watch Peter Vaughan unbox DER-956Q, a 13 W power supply for 800 V BEV automotive applications. It uses a 1700 V SiC-based InnoSwitch3-AQ flyback switcher IC and features reinforced 100 V isolation that is IEC-60664-1 and IEC-60664-4 compliant. This ultra compact design allows 30-1000 VDC wide input range and delivers 18 V and 9 V dual outputs. #EVs https://okt.to/Ucfmsw

PI's new SCALE-iFlex XLT dual-channel gate drivers are a single-board, plug-and-play solution that can be mounted neatly within the outline of a "new dual" style IGBT module for wind, energy storage and solar installations. Featuring NTC temperature readout, SCALE-iFlex XLT driver boards improve thermal management and increase module utilization by up to 30%. Download the data sheet: https://okt.to/6lg40U
