‘Analogue Input Channels’

An Electronicstalk guide

Start with the news release MSC distributes YDS DC/DC converters from MSC Vertriebs, which we summarised at the time by saying "MSC is now offering the 95DW-R3 series 20W DC/DC converters from YDS, which can be used in various measurement equipment and other device requiring a precisely regulated voltage. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Linear introduces H-grade switching regulator from Linear Technology: "Linear Technology has announced a H-grade step-down switching regulator for load dump and cold-crank conditions commonly found in automotive applications as well as 24V industrial supplies.".

In December 2010, we covered the news from Diodes Incorporated - take a look at Self-protected MOSFETs for automotive applications which says: "Suiting automotive and industrial applications, Diodes Incorporated's new self-protected MOSFETs are suitable for switching inductive loads, such as motors, relays and lamps at low frequencies. ".

Take a look also at the news release from Bear Power Supplies, AC/DC power converters for medical applications, as well as 1W power supplies offer efficiency of 89 per cent from Aimtec, and Aimtec power supplies offer auto-recovery restart from Aimtec.
