Power Integrations (NASDAQ: POWI), the leader in high-voltage integrated circuits (ICs) for energy-efficient power conversion, today announced a 900-volt gallium-nitride (GaN) extension to the company’s InnoSwitch3™ family of flyback switcher ICs. The new ICs, which feature the company’s proprietary PowiGaN™ technology, deliver up to 100 watts with better than 93 percent efficiency, eliminating the need for heat sinks and streamlining design of space-challenged applications. InnoSwitch3 designs also offer exceptional light-load efficiency making them ideal for providing auxiliary power in electric vehicles during low-power sleep modes. The AEC-Q100- qualified InnoSwitch3-AQ family is particularly suitable for EVs based on 400-volt bus systems where the 900-volt PowiGaN switch provides more power and increased design margin―required for 12-volt battery-replacement systems―with enhanced efficiency over silicon-based converters.


“The dominant bus voltage for electric vehicles is 400 volts,” stated Peter Vaughan, automotive business development director at Power Integrations. “EV manufacturers are optimizing their new generation of 400-volt systems and re-engineering various power stages in the vehicle, such as the on-board charger. The 900-volt PowiGaN switch is extremely beneficial because it easily accommodates the highly inductive noise spikes that are often present in automotive environments. The extra power delivered by our GaN technology matches the increasing power demands of EV manufacturers. Moreover, efficiency in power conversion―even in auxiliary systems―is important for range extension and thermal management.”

Panasonic Industry today announced that its hybrid polymer capacitors are immediately available. Max Jakob, Division Director EMEA / Device Solution Business Division commented: “It is well- known that hybrid capacitors have been on long 52-week lead-times. Now, any customer can have fast, easy access to our leading-technology products - especially the smaller 6, 8 and 10mm diameter products - without waiting.”


Reacting to the recent challenging worldwide market and supply chain dynamics in the electronics sector, Panasonic Industry has significantly invested and expanded the production of its in-demand hybrid capacitors. The company has increased its capacity five-fold over the last three years and expects to more than triple the current production output in the next four years.


Panasonic Industry is the world’s number one producer of hybrid capacitors, claims Jakob, both in terms of capacity and innovation: “We are continuously setting new standards by releasing capacitors with the highest capacitance and ripple-current rating, enabling design engineers to reduce size, and increase reliability and cost-effectiveness. Supporting our technology leadership, we are also determined to make this technology directly available to every designer – which is why we have made such significant increases to our manufacturing capability. In this way, we plan to retain our position as industry’s number one partner for leading-edge and cost-competitive products, across our entire range of hybrid capacitor product technologies.”


Specifically, hybrid capacitors such as Panasonic’s ZA and ZC series are now highly cost-effective, demonstrating Panasonics commercial as well as technology leadership. “We are eager to work with new and existing customers alike, and we are more able than ever before to address their needs and support their new designs”, concludes Jakob.

NICOMATIC announces global distribution partnership with PEI GENESIS


Harsh-Environment Connector Manufacturer Announces PEI Genesis as its latest Global Distributor


Nicomatic, a global manufacturer of creative harsh- environment interconnect solutions, announces a global distribution agreement with PEI-Genesis, headquartered in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The partnership will bring a key interconnect supplier to Nicomatic’s growing distribution channel, enhancing Nicomatic’s already robust supply chain and worldwide technical support.


MikroElektronika (MIKROE), the embedded solutions company that dramatically cuts development time by providing innovative hardware and software products based on proven standards, has launched LBAND RTK Click™, a compact add-on board that provides easy global access to satellite L-Band GNSS corrections.


Click boards enable embedded designers to try many different peripheral functions and socket, mikroBUS™, saving months of development time and significant investment in hardware. Many leading microcontroller companies including Microchip, NXP, Infineon, Dialog, STM, Analog Devices, Renesas and Toshiba now include the mikroBUS socket on their development boards, and to date, more than 1300 Click boards have been released by MIKROE.


LBAND RTK Click features the NEO-D9S-00B, a professional-grade satellite data receiver for L-band correction broadcast from u-blox. Operating in a frequency range from 1525MHz to 1559MHz, the NEO-D9S-00B decodes the satellite transmission and outputs a correction stream, enabling a high-precision GNSS receiver to reach accuracies down to centimeter level. It can also select the GNSS correction data delivery channel alongside advanced security features such as signature and anti-jamming. This Click board can be configured to provide connection services for various industrial and professional applications.


Comments Nebojsa Matic, CEO of MIKROE: “Our ambition is to enable designers to make better use of their precious time. By using a Click board they can get a prototype design up and running in a very short space of time. We are constantly adding new Clicks, so designers should find an off-the-shelf solution that suits their needs. For example, currently we offer 155 different wireless connectivity Clicks and 31 GPS/GNSS boards, including this LBAND RTK Click. More are being added all the time”

PEI-Genesis will offer Nicomatic’s full product offering, including its flagship harsh environment connector product line with over 20 million power, data, and signal configurations, the CMM series. Nicomatic’s harsh-environment connectors are used by leading defense contractors around the world to achieve improved product performance through a smaller, more powerful connector footprint.


For over 75 years, PEI-Genesis has been a leading interconnect distributor in the harsh environment space, known for its expertise and team of Trusted Advisors bringing custom connector solutions to the military/aerospace, aviation, Industrial, medical, and energy markets.


“We are pleased to announce this partnership with a distributor who assists customers to design engineered solutions that meet specific application requirements. Additionally, PEI Genesis mirrors many of Nicomatic’s core service principles, including fast delivery, service and consistent quality,” said Olivier Nicollin, CEO of Nicomatic.


“I am delighted to announce this important strategic partnership between our two companies. I want to thank the Nicomatic team for their fantastic support in making this collaboration a real success.


Between PEI-Genesis and Nicomatic, we have a combined experience of over 120 years of meeting our global customers’ demanding requirements for high-reliability connector solutions in multiple markets including Defense, Industrial, Aviation, Energy, and Medical.


Both companies share the same passion and values which I am confident will bring great quality products and highly professional service to all of our customers into the future,” said Jonathan Parry, Senior Vice President & MD of Europe PEI-Genesis.
