A few days ago, Vicor Corporation (NASDAQ Stock Exchange code: VICR) announced the introduction of a 12 to 48V non-isolated boost converter to provide 48V high-performance GPU support for data centers that still rely on traditional 12V power distribution.

TDK Group recently introduced a new type of EPCOS manganese-zinc (MnZn) based PC200 ferrite magnetic material with high frequency and low loss characteristics. The magnetic material is developed specifically for power supplies and frequency converters (with GaN-based fast switching power semiconductors) and has an optimized frequency range of 700kHz to 4MHz. When the switching frequency is from 1.8 MHz to 2 MHz and the operating temperature is 100°C, the maximum transmission power can be achieved. The maximum Curie temperature of the ferrite magnetic material is 250 °C.

TDK Corporation has expanded its lineup of chip varistors for automotive applications. The AVRH Series products have a maximum operating voltage of 19 V to 70 V and a capacitance range of 4.7 pF to 50 pF. This compact voltage protection device can be used in IEC 1005 operating conditions (EIA 0402) due to its compact size of only 1.0 mm x 0.5 mm x 0.5 mm, which enables the new component to be reduced by 75% in volume compared to existing components with comparable performance . The highly reliable AVRH series also has an operating temperature range of -55 to 150 °C, withstands 25 kV contact discharge, conforms to IEC 61000-4-2 and is AEC-Q200 certified.

TDK Co., Ltd. (President: Shihei Seiki) has developed the industry's smallest* ACT1210L series common-mode filter for automotive Ethernet (size: L3.2×W2.5×T2.4mm).

TDK Corporation has developed a thin film inductor TFM160808ALC series (outside dimensions: L1.6×W0.8×T0.8mm) that can reduce the DC resistance and have a high rated current.

TDK Corporation announced that TDK-Micronas, known for its fully integrated embedded motor control products, and NewTec, a company focused on safety-related electronic systems, have begun to jointly market the new servo drive motor controller HVC4223F. HVC4223F supports direct control of stepper motors and brushless motors without external drive components. NewTec contributed production-ready, highly-flexible and parameter-tunable firmware with proven communication, monitoring, power control (ASIL A-ready) and configuration tools.

TDK Corporation has released TDK-Lambda brand CUS200LD series. The series supports global input voltages of 85~265VAC, peak 200W (10s) and maximum conduction cooling power of 150W, and multiple single output voltages from 3.3V to 48V. It is suitable for high reliability fanless applications. Can be widely used in LED display and signage, broadcasting and professional audio, test and measurement, analytical instruments and other industrial applications, with excellent price/performance ratio.

TDK Corporation is pleased to announce that we have further expanded the TDK-Lambda brand EZA series isolated DC-DC converter product line and developed an 11 kW model (EZA11K) with an output power that is more than 4 times that of the current model. The company added this new product to the 2.5 kW model lineup to help customers reduce the size of their high-power devices. TDK-Lambda will begin selling this product in April this year.

The compact size and narrow width of this power supply make it ideal for wall-mounted enclosures commonly used in building automation and safety applications. With an average efficiency of 87%, this series of DIN power supplies also meet ErP efficiency standards.

The AL58xx series offers a bill of materials (BOM) low-cost solution for various product applications in the commercial and industrial fields, including billboards, instrument lighting, home interior lighting, architectural detail lighting, and general smart lighting.
