Aries
Aries Machined High-Frequency Sockets

Machined High-Frequency Sockets...

Aries Electronics now offers machined high-frequency center probe test sockets to accommodate IC devices with a lead pitch of 0.30 mm. With very low inductance and capacitance, the sockets are ideal for a wide variety of BGA (ball grid array), CSP (chip scale package) and MLF (micro land frame) packages.

Reduced inductance, increased board density and finer pitch array packages are made possible thanks to a four-point crown or sharp point gold plated 0.30 mm pitch probe pin, spring and flanged bottom pin, which contacts the tail of the probe pin to shorten the signal path.  A signal path of just 0.077 inches (1.96 mm) allows for minimal signal loss and higher bandwidth capacity with the new Aries’ machined high-frequency sockets.

The solderless pressure mount spring probes allow easy mounting of the socket to a test board and device solder ball or pad, while socket locating posts ensure accurate positioning of the socket to the board. The sockets are equipped with chip guides to allow exact device location and four-point edge male contacts for precise mating of the device. The socket’s small footprint ensures maximum use of the test board area for increased efficiency.

Spring loaded contacts, made of gold-plated beryllium copper, provide a high life cycle of up to 500,000 cycles. Socket body material is Torlon PAI and all hardware is stainless steel.

The socket’s contact forces are 15 g per contact on a 0.30 mm to 0.35 mm pitch, 16 g per contact on a 0.40 mm to 0.45 mm pitch and 25 g per contact on a 0.50 mm pitch or larger.  Contact resistance is less than 40 milliohms.  Probe self-inductance on the new socket is 0.51 nH for large probes and 0.59 nH for small probes.

Cosel PMA Series AC/DC Switching Power Supply

Ultra-Low Leakage Medical-Grade Power Supply...

Most AC-DC power supplies and AC line filters use de-coupling capacitors (Y-caps) to control conducted noise. The problem is, de-coupling capacitors increase leakage current.

Smart Alarms Keep Getting Smarter Offering 20 Unique Sounds...

Before 1968, audible alarms were all electromechanical devices that used too much power and had mechanical components that eventually wore out. In 1968, the first true electronic alarms hit the market. They featured piezo electric transducers and solid state electronic circuit components, producing a loud sound using much less power and having greater reliability. More than three decades later, not much had changed. Electronic alarms were still being designed with standard circuit components (capacitors, resistors, transistors, etc.) which meant that developing a new sound or model could take a couple of monts because of the prototyping and manual assembly involved. Also, only a limited number of different types of sounds and timings were available due to space limitations and cost.

However, in the mid-2000's, audible alarm technology took another leap forward with the intorduction of micro-controllers as the core technology inside the alarm circuitry. With this technology, the signal that controls the sound is generated by software cosde which is downloaded into a programmable micro-controller mounted on a circuit board (along with other components) to provide the complete circuitry controlling the audible alarm. This allowed the alarms to really "get smart" in a hurry. Unlike the previous generation of "dumb" alarms that made the same sound after being activated, alarms using the new micro-controller technology open up extensive opportunities for designers to develop unique capabilities that can enhance value and increase safety for their equipment, machinery, or vehicles.

With Mallory's SCE Series offering 20 unique sounds in more than 650 different models there are now nearly unlimited number of sound types available, designers can engage in "out-of-the-box" thinking by utilizing alarms that can:

  • Get louder over time
  • Speed up or slow down
  • Automatically turn off after a set time period
  • Be temporarily silenced by the equipment/vehicle operator while he/she tends to the condition that prompted the alarm
  • Produce multiple - and unique - warning sounds within the same package

In addition to the design possibilities, the new technology also radically compresses the design cycle itself. Prior to the use of micro-controllers, it could take more than a month to develop a new sound. Now, a unique sound can be created in a single afternoon by re-programming the software. Equally important, physical samples that previously took up to four additional weeks (due to circuit board construction and manual sample building) are now produced in a few days.

Supertex
Supertex LInear LED Driver IC

Linear LED Driver with High Voltage Driving Solution...

Supertex, Inc. introduced CL220, a high voltage, temperature-compensated, constant current, LED driver integrated circuit (IC). It is designed to drive a string of LEDs with a constant current of 20mA, and multiple ICs can be used in parallel to provide higher output currents in increments of 20mA. It can be used in a variety of solid-state lighting applications, such as signage, automotive, industrial indicators and accent lighting.

CL220 operates from 5 to 220V, and is trimmed to provide a constant output current of 20mA (+/-10%) at an input voltage of 5 to 160V. It can be used as a two terminal constant current source or constant current sink. CL220’s temperature- compensated output current maintains consistent LED brightness regardless of temperature fluctuations. The IC also withstands transients without the need for any additional transient protection circuitry when used as recommended.

“CL220 is the latest in a long line of simple, cost-effective linear LED drivers from Supertex,” states Stephen Lin, Vice President of Marketing at Supertex. “The two terminal device makes system design easy, and the fact that the device can be used in parallel adds a great amount of versatility to its output current specifications.”

Supertex LED Driver IC

Switch Dimmable LED Driver Works With Any Standard Light Switch...

Supertex, Inc. introduced HV9801A, a power saving, switch dimmable, LED driver integrated circuit (IC) designed to drive LEDs in dimmable household and office lighting applications. The IC dims LED lamp brightness to one of four preset levels through simple, rapid toggling of a light switch. Light levels progress up and down sequentially and if the switch is turned off for more than a second, the lamp returns to full brightness.

Switch dimming offers an attractive alternative to TRIAC dimming as it enables dimming of lamps in any location, provides a better quality light source without flicker, and increases energy efficiency through the reduction of the excess circuitry required to accommodate the holding current of the TRIAC dimmer. HV9801A works with all existing light switches and doesn’t require installation of a wall dimmer.

As opposed to many LED driver ICs that utilize peak current control to regulate output current, HV9801A employs a patented average-mode current control method that requires no loop compensation or high side sensing. This proprietary control method provides quick and accurate response to input voltage fluctuations and delivers exceptional accuracy (over 97%) and line and load regulation of the LED current.

“HV9801A is an ideal driver solution for solid-state lighting applications that utilize dimming,” states Stephen Lin, Vice President of Marketing at Supertex. “The IC further builds on Supertex’s history of innovation and recognized leadership in the off- line LED driver IC market.”

Applications: Household and office lighting

Supertex LED Driver IC

LED Driver Delivers High Current Accuracy via Average Mode Control...

Supertex, Inc. (Nasdaq GS: SUPX) today introduced HV9861A, an open loop, average current mode control, LED driver integrated circuit (IC) designed to drive LEDs using a buck topology. It is well suited for a variety of solid-state lighting applications, including TV and monitor backlighting, signage, decorative, and general lighting.

Because of the patented, novel scheme of current control it employs, HV9861A doesn’t produce a peak-to-average error like many LED driver ICs, and therefore, it greatly improves the accuracy and line and load regulation of the LED current. The IC provides typical current accuracy of +/-3% and requires no loop compensation or high- side current sensing because of its proprietary control scheme. The internally regulated voltage (Vdd) for HV9861A is 7.5V.

Applications: TV and monitor backlighting, signage, decorative and general lighting.

Torex Coil-Integrated Step-Down micro DC/DC Converters

Coil-Integrated Step-Down "micro DC/DC" Converters...

The XCL201/XCL202 series expands our lineup of step-down micro DC/DC converters with integrated coil and control IC. Like our previous converters, an ultra-small size has been achieved with dimensions of 2.5 x 2.0 x h1.0mm, enabling these converters to make a huge contribution to the development of smaller and more lightweight portable devices.

A power source with a maximum load current of 400mA can be configured by simply adding two ceramic capacitors to the micro DC/DC. The operating voltage is 2.0V to 6.0V. The output voltage is fixed and can be selected in steps of 0.05V within the range 0.8 to 4.0V (accuracy ±2.0%). The control IC operates at a switching frequency of 1.2MHz (accuracy ±15%) and uses synchronous rectification with an internal 0.42? P-ch driver transistor and 0.52? N-ch switch transistor. For the operation mode, PWM control (XCL201) or PWM/PFM auto switching control (XCL202) can be selected. The XCL202 freely responds at high speed to a full range of loads from light loads to heavy loads, achieves low ripple and high efficiency, and reduces quiescent current to 1.0?A or less by turning off all circuits during standby. A switching frequency of 1.2MHz is used to improve overall efficiency by 2% to 5% compared to the previous XCL205/XCL206/XCL207. An internal under-voltage lockout (UVLO) function forcibly turns off the internal driver transistor when the input voltage is 1.4V or less.

An internal high-speed soft-start function starts the output voltage at 0.25ms (TYP). A CL discharge function discharges the charge of the load capacitance CL by turning on an internal switch during standby. This makes it possible to rapidly return the output voltage to the VSS level. This environmentally friendly product complies with the EU RoHS directive and is Pb free. Features include:

  • Ultra-small size (2.5mm × 2.0mm, H=1.0 mm) reduces the board mounting area.
  • Step-down DC/DC with integrated coil fully utilizes IC characteristics.
  • High Efficiency 92% (VIN=4.2V, VOUT=3.3V).
  • Ideal for small mobile devices that require high efficiency.
