Inductors with a built-in, step-down DC/DC converter make up the XCL232 series from Torex Semiconductor.
ICs & Semiconductors
Wireless power supply chipset needs no external MCU
Capable of providing up to 1W of wireless power for compact and streamlined wearable devices or for industrial smart, miniaturised and sealed end products, the Rohm Semiconductor’s ML7661 (transmitter) and ML7660 (receiver) incorporate a control circuit for transmission/reception.
NanoPower modules extend battery life in space-constrained applications
Designers can extend battery life and reduce size in space-constrained Internet of Things (IoT) devices with two nanoPower modules with built-in inductors from Analog Devices. Both products are part of Analog Devices’ Essential Analog family of efficient power ICs. The MAXM38643 1.8V to 5.5V input, 330nA quiescent current (IQ), 600mA buck module and the MAXM17225 0.4V to 5.5V input, 300nA IQ, 1A boost module with True Shutdown feature the lowest IQ compared to competitive solutions and deliver more battery life.
Torex extends LDO regulators with ‘green operation’ series
LDO regulators with low current consumption are suitable for IoT products and wearable devices. Torex has launched the XC6241 high-speed LDO regulator ICs, based on a CMOS process. They achieve low current consumption, high accuracy, and high ripple rejection, says the company, and are available in small and thin packages.
