SUNNYVALE, CA January 7, 2008 Maxim Integrated Products (Pink Sheets: MXIM) introduces the MAX17014 highly integrated, multiple-output power-supply controller for TFT-LCD TVs and monitors. This device operates from an 8V to 16.5V input-voltage range, and is optimized for LCD-panel applications that use a 12V supply. To save space, cost, and design time, this TFT-LCD solution integrates step-down and step-up regulators; positive and negative charge pumps; two operational amplifiers; and a Dual Mode, logic-controlled, high-voltage switch-control block. |
LTC4218: Low Voltage Hot Swap Controller with Adjustable Current Limit
Submitted by Ionela on Mon, 03/10/2008 - 10:46.
 |
MILPITAS, CA February 12, 2008 Linear Technology Corporation introduces the LTC4218 Hot Swap Controller for protecting boards with load supply voltages ranging from 2.9V to 26.5V. When a board is plugged into a backplane, large inrush currents can create a glitch on the load supply causing other boards on the bus to malfunction. The LTC4218 enables safe board insertion and removal from a live backplane, using an external N-channel pass MOSFET in the power path to limit the inrush current during power up. |
