Since the mid-1980s, semiconductor technology has promised to provide smart power products for solid-state relays that could carry high current and provide unique functions for customers. However, ...

Mechanical relays continue to enjoy a growing demand and so far can't be replaced by solid state relays (SSR). Compared to SSRs, the lower cost, contact resistance and the galvanic isolation of ...

LOS GATOS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--iWatt, Inc., a developer of energy-efficient digital power supply control integrated circuits (ICs) used in leading-edge power supplies, today announced the iW1700 ...

Relays and solenoids are available with many different voltage ratings. Most factory- and process-automation equipment operates from 24-V supplies. However, customers may have control signals for a ...

It’s just a fact, I’m curiously fond of topologies that combine PWM switching and filtering circuitry with power handling devices like adjustable voltage regulator chips. This scheme makes ...

Infineon has added slew-rate control to its Hitfet range of relay-replacing low-side switches. Aimed at automotive and industrial applications, and called Hitfet+, the devices also have enhanced ...
