RS Components launches 94% efficient POL converters covering most standard bus and battery voltages

Leave a comment

Versatile switching regulators are drop-in replacements for LMxx devices

SHANGHAI, Oct. 16, 2020 — RS Components (RS), a trading brand of Electrocomponents plc (LSE: ECM), a global omni-channel solutions partner for industrial customers and suppliers, has added the new TRACO Power TSR-WI Series of non-isolated POL (point of load) DC/DC converters to its product portfolio. TSR-WI devices offer high efficiencies of up to 94%, along with low standby current and excellent line/load regulation.

The TSR-WI Series comprises two families of single-output switching regulator — known as TSR-0.6WI and TSR-1WI, with 0.6A and 1A maximum output current ratings, respectively — and output voltage options of 3.3V, 5V, 6.5V, 9V, 12V, 15V and 24V. Each family offers input voltage ranges of up to 9–72VDC — an ultra-wide ratio of 8:1— easily covering the majority of standard bus and battery voltages that electronics designers may need to deal with together in distributed power systems. Allowing designers to standardise on one type of converter in different situations can effectively reduce the bill of materials (BOM) for many applications.

Housed in industry standard SIP-3 packages, TSR-WI devices are pin compatible with commonly used LMxx linear regulators and can function as more energy efficient drop-in replacements for these devices.

Standard features of the TSR-WI Series include protections against short circuit, over-voltage and over-temperature. The high efficiency of the devices allows a wide operating temperature range, from -40° to +80°C (TSR-1WI) or +85°C (TSR0.6WI) without the need for heat sinking.

TRACO TSR-WI Series DC/DC converters are supported by a three-year manufacturer’s warranty and are available now from RS in China.

Picosun’s ALD technology boosts UVC LED performance

Leave a comment

ESPOO, Finland, Sept. 24, 2020 — Picosun Group, the leading supplier of AGILE ALD® (Atomic Layer Deposition) thin film coating technology, reports excellent results in UVC (ultraviolet-C) LED performance, achieved with the company’s ALD solutions.

Excellent reliability and lifetime improvements of UVC LEDs have been obtained at Picosun’s customer and collaboration partner site, National Chiao Tung University (NCTU), Taiwan, using passivation and barrier films deposited with PICOSUN® ALD equipment(*). ALD passivation layer could potentially replace the expensive hermetic seal package of the LEDs and thus lower the costs of the final device.

"We have used Picosun’s ALD technology already for years with great success. Our PICOSUN® ALD equipment yields superior quality films which has helped us to achieve several breakthroughs in our LED research. Picosun has local presence in Taiwan and we appreciate the prompt response of their customer support if we ever have any issues. At the phase when R&D results are to be ramped up to industrial-level production, the scalability of Picosun’s ALD technology is a huge benefit," comments Professor Hao-Chung Kuo from NCTU.

In order to reach maximum light output and long operating lifetime, LED chips require surface passivation to eliminate parasitic currents caused by traps and defects. Also barrier coating is typically needed as LED materials are sensitive to moisture. ALD is an ideal technique to manufacture both the passivation and barrier films – and when the LED size diminishes to micrometer dimensions, the only coating method capable of producing high enough quality films on the required minuscule scale. Ultra-thin, pinhole-free ALD films do not suppress the LED light intensity and they provide reliable protection against ambient conditions, whereas their superior conformality ensures no thickness variations between the facets of the LED chip. Thickness variations, typical side effect of other coating methods, can potentially lead to uneven distribution of film stress or thermal expansion behavior and risk physical damage of the chip.

Short-wavelength UVC radiation destroys bacteria and viruses so UVC LED technology is particularly topical now during the still ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Small, lightweight LEDs enable versatile design of portable, compact disinfecting equipment, they consume less power than other UVC sources, they are durable, and they pose no risk of hazardous material leaks such as e.g. mercury lamps.

"We are happy of the achievements of Professor Kuo’s group at NCTU, and how Picosun’s ALD technology has helped them to achieve their goals in UVC LED development. Our long-term collaboration and networking with both the academia and prominent industries in this field gives us the perfect synergy advantage to facilitate implementation of these solutions in industrial manufacturing," says Mr. Edwin Wu, CEO of Picosun Asia Pte. Ltd.

(*) UVC LED with 50 nm ALD Al2O3 passivation and normal LED packaging (no hermetic seal) maintained 80% of its original efficiency even after 500 hours environmental test at 85% humidity and 85 oC temperature.

Picosun provides the most advanced AGILE ALD® (Atomic Layer Deposition) thin film coating solutions for global industries. Picosun’s ALD solutions enable technological leap into the future, with turn-key production processes and unmatched, pioneering expertise in the field – dating back to the invention of the technology itself. Today, PICOSUN® ALD equipment are in daily manufacturing use in numerous leading industries around the world. Picosun is based in Finland, with subsidiaries in Germany, USA, Singapore, Taiwan, China, Korea and Japan, offices in India and France, and a world-wide sales and support network.

The Corporate Synergy Development Center (CSD) organized the Taiwan Smart Manufacturing Pavilion Online Exhibition (www.twmtinmx.com) in response to the epidemic with the aim of strengthening trade relations between the Taiwanese and Vietnamese smart machinery industries. The virtual event provided participants a 360-degree panoramic view of exhibits displayed at the WebVR pavilion in anticipation of demonstrating the Taiwanese smart machinery industry’s commitment to supplying the motorcycle and tooling markets with high-precision and intelligent solutions. By participating in the event virtually, professional buyers from Vietnam can get a more in-depth look at the high-quality and unique smart machine products made in Taiwan.

Taiwan’s smart machinery industry has built a complete value chain ecosystem encompassing R&D, design, component processing and manufacturing, assembly, testing, marketing and after-sales services. Taiwan is the world’s 7th largest manufacturer of machine tools, making up 5-6% of the global market with 80% of the machine tools produced locally being sold to overseas markets. In 2019, Taiwan was the world’s 5th largest exporter of machine tools (behind Germany, Japan, mainland China and Italy), with the value of exports totaling US$3.064 billion. Taiwan’s smart machinery industry has established a good reputation for its capabilities in providing highly customized services while continuing to promote its products across the world.

During the event that will run through December 2020, the organizer will offer Amazon coupons to questionnaire respondents in a move to boost engagement among professional buyers. The virtual exhibition aims to build an innovative business match-making platform connecting Taiwanese smart manufacturing companies with professional buyers from Vietnam amidst the global pandemic.

The smart entrance counter solution is a miniaturized, discrete radar board (20 mm x 15 mm) that accurately and anonymously counts people with one single 60 GHz radar sensor and integrated software.

 

"We aimed at quickly creating an effective solution that allows everyone of us to securely move within public spaces, in offices, airports or restaurants according to the regulations of the so-called new normal," says Andreas Urschitz, Division President Power & Sensor Systems Infineon Technologies. "Our Smart entrance counter solution is a closed system. On the one hand, it prevents overcrowding, on the other hand, it enables businesses to keep their operations running. And most importantly, due to the use of radar technology, personal data are 100 percent protected. The system counts a person, but does not know who it is."

The expected volume for this kind of solution amounts to 90 million units globally. Infineon’s Smart entrance counter solution with XENSIV™ 60 GHz radar sensor works contactlessly and can easily be installed on the side or ceiling of an entrance or exit. It can be implemented in all kinds of building types, such as public buildings, retail and grocery stores, restaurants, schools or corporate spaces, e.g. canteens, offices, and the like. Furthermore, Infineon is already working on the next generation that will include further features.
