500W low airflow medical configurable power supplies
TDK Corporation has announced the introduction of the 500W rated configurable TDK-Lambda brand XMS500A series of AC/DC power supplies. The series is mechanically designed for effective cooling with a low 1m/s airflow, reducing acoustic noise.
350W convection cooled medical power supplies released
TDK Corporation has announced the introduction of the TDK-Lambda brand CUS350MP series of AC/DC power supplies with medical and industrial safety certifications. The series is rated at 350W convection, 500W with forced air and can deliver up to 1,000W peak power.
24V input DC/DC step-down converters deliver 750W
TDK has announced the introduction of the 750W rated TDK-Lambda i7A series of non-isolated buck DC/DC step-down converters, packaged in the industry-standard 1/16th brick footprint. The output voltage of these 24V nominal input step-down converters can be adjusted from 3.3 to 18V with a maximum current of 45A.
Buck-boost DC/DC converter models optimised for 24V
TDK has announced the introduction of 20A 300W rated models to the TDK Lambda brand i7C series of non-isolated DC/DC converters. The output voltage of these latest step-up and step-down converters is adjustable from eight to 24V, and they are optimised to operate from a wide range input voltage of nine to 36V. The converters transition from buck to boost mode operation without disruption in performance.
Aluminium electrolytic capacitors with ripple current
TDK Corporation has presented the new EPCOS aluminium electrolytic capacitor series B43548 with snap-in terminals. The capacitors feature an excellent maximum ripple current capability of 9.80 A (400V, 100Hz, 60°C). This makes them well suited for demanding applications in power electronics.
Open frame buffer modules offer 380ms additional hold-up
TDK Corporation has announced the introduction of the open frame ZBM20 buffer modules with the capability to provide 380ms additional hold-up for 12, 15 and 24V AC/DC power supplies. The extended hold-up time allows equipment to safely shutdown and avoid data loss. Applications for the modules include industrial automation, robotics and semiconductor fabrication equipment.
TDK selection tool for PTC inrush current limiters
TDK Corporation has presented a new, user-friendly tool to help users select the right PTC inrush current limiters (ICL) for a range of different power supply and converter topologies. The intuitive tool is available online and does not need to be downloaded.
Low-resistance multilayer ferrite inductors for NFC
TDK Corporation has developed new MLJ-H1005 inductors for use in NFC (near field communication). Mass production will begin in February 2021. The inductors' intended use is for the LC filters of NFC circuits. It is necessary for inductors to have narrow tolerances to minimise the loss caused by mismatched impedance with the antenna.
50V, 400V and 500V programmable power supplies for EVs
TDK Corporation has announced the introduction of 50V, 400V and 500V output models to the TDK-Lambda GENESYS+ series of programmable power supplies. With output power levels of 5kW, 10kW and 15kW in 1U, 2U and 3U high 19” rack-mount packages, the new G50, G400, G500, GSP50, GSP400 and GSP500 models are fully compatible with the current series.
Selecting power inductors with TDK
When the power supply voltage is decreased, voltage fluctuations can become more dangerous, requiring a high-performance DC/DC converter in order to operate within safe parameters. DC/DC converters can help to address these requirements, and power inductors are crucial components that affect DC/DC converters’ performance thereby enabling speed increases in LSIs while significantly reducing power requirements.
DIN rail mount buffer module has a narrow 49mm width
TDK has introduced the TDK-Lambda DBM20 DIN rail mount 24V 20A buffer module. The buffer module provides short term hold-up or peak power for loads connected to a 24Vdc output AC/DC power supply. It can supply an additional 250ms hold-up at 448W output power, or two seconds with a 2.5A load.
