Texas Instruments (TI) today introduced several new power management chips that enable designers to boost efficiency and shrink power-supply and charger solution sizes for personal electronics and handheld industrial equipment. Operating at up to 1 MHz, TI’s new chipset combines the UCC28780 active clamp flyback controller and the UCC24612 synchronous rectifier controller to help cut […]
Memory Protection Devices expands AAAA battery contact offering
Memory Protection Devices has expanded its line of AAAA battery contacts. The new model to join the AAAA battery contact selection is part number BK-6223-TR. It is designed to be surface mounted on a PCB and meet the demands of portable equipment. It is ultralight and made of phosphor bronze contact. The new model is also…
Ultra-Low-Power battery protection IC targets wearables and small IoT devices
The GLF73510 IQSmart IC is designed to virtually eliminate wearable and IoT device battery discharge during standby or deep-sleep operation. The GLF73510 consumes an industry-leading ultra-low leakage current (ISD) of 2 nA (typ.), as much as 1,000 times less than other chips commonly used in this application. Applications for wearable and smaller IoT battery powered […]
High-voltage smart sensor data-acquisition device targets vehicle lithium-ion battery packs
Automotive OEMs can enhance the safety of their lithium-ion battery packs with robust communications, comprehensive diagnostics, and lower system costs using the MAX17843 12-channel, high-voltage smart sensor data-acquisition device from Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. Electric vehicles (EVs), hybrid EVs, and plug-in hybrids rely on large lithium-ion battery packs filled with hundreds or even thousands of individual battery […]
Keystone Electronics unveils new battery insulating pull tabs
Keystone Electronics (New Hyde Park, N.Y.) recently introduced a new line of battery insulators designed to protect batteries and circuitry from energizing during shipping and storage. Device creators can install the pull tabs in a product along with the batteries so that they can insulate and prevent the batteries from energizing prior to use. Device users simply…
How Zeiss microscopes could enable battery innovation
University College London’s Electrochemical Innovation Laboratory is using Zeiss Xradia 810 Ultra X-ray microscopy to study the inner-workings of batteries and fuel cells, Zeiss recently announced. The Xradia 810 Ultra helps researchers to study the evolution of microstructure down to 50 nm resolution. Such resolution offers a 3D picture of the fine details of lithium…
