MOSFET Controller from Diodes Incorporated Enables PSUs to Exceed Energy Star Efficiency Goals

Enabling flyback power supply designers to replace inefficient Schottky rectifiers with a MOSFET driven as an ideal diode, the ZXGD3105N8 synchronous MOSFET controller from Diodes Incorporated can achieve a standby power consumption for set-top boxes of less than 100mW and full-load efficiencies greater than 87%. Drawing a quiescent current of less than 1mA, and with its ability to operate from supply voltages as low as 4.5V, the controller outperforms competing solutions and delivers flyback power supplies capable of exceeding the Energy Star standby ratings.

LOW POWER, 12-BIT, 1.8-V A/D CONVERTER CONSUMES

Munich, Germany, April 19, 2011 – Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI) has introduced two new data converters designed to deliver the speed and performance at low power necessary for a range of communications and industrial applications. Now available, the AD9434, a low-power, 12-bit, 500-MSPS (mega samples per second) A/D converter reduces thermal considerations by consuming only 660 mW of power in a space-saving 8 mm x 8 mm LFCSP package.
