36V, 5A µModule Regulator Protects Input Supplies from

Linear Technology announces the LTM8026, a 36V input, 5A step-down µModule® regulator with an adjustable and precise (+/-10%) accurate current limit. The current limit enables designers to set the maximum amount of power drawn from the supply, preventing input voltage droop caused by overcurrent conditions. When multiple LTM8026 are configured with the outputs tied together, each converter can be programmed with a unique maximum current limit to meet its specific input supply limitations for greater output power, a technique known as asymmetric power sharing.

Novel Current-Sharing, Diode-OR Controller Eases

Linear Technology Corporation introduces the LTC4370, a first-of-its-kind current-sharing controller with reverse current blocking. The LTC4370 frees the designer from the limitations and complications of existing current-sharing methods to obtain a simpler, quicker, and space-saving solution for sharing between two supplies. Its supply-agnostic feature lends the design more flexibility and a longer lifetime. By incorporating diode behavior, the controller prevents one supply failure from bringing down the entire system.

Flexible NCN49597 utilizes ARM Cortex processor and innovative features to enhance communication robustness and versatility for

ON Semiconductor has introduced a new power line carrier (PLC) modem system-on-chip (SoC) for use in applications such as e-metering, home automation, solar energy and lighting control. The first device in a new family of PLC modems, the NCN49597 combines a low power 32-bit ARM Cortex M0 processor with a high-precision analog front end. Based on a dual 4800-baud S-FSK (Spread Frequency Shift Keying) channel technology, it has been optimized for power efficiency and performance, while providing excellent robustness and reliability to enable operation in the harshest environments.
