Power Control Reference Design Enables a Secondary Side Microcontroller to Control Primary Power

CHANDLER, Ariz., Jan. 06, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — In modern offline AC-DC power solutions, programmability and adaptive control offer the flexibility and intelligence needed by smart home devices to better interface with their power systems. In these systems, a secondary side microcontroller (MCU) is typically not capable of starting a system without the use of a separate bias power supply. A new reference design from Microchip Technology Inc. (Nasdaq: MCHP) solves this problem using the MCP1012 high voltage auxiliary AC-DC controller, demonstrating the ability to remove the independent bias power supply in many applications. The MCP1012 offline auxiliary device enables … Read More → "Power Control Reference Design Enables a Secondary Side Microcontroller to Control Primary Power"

High-Temperature Snubberless™ 8H Triacs from STMicroelectronics Save Space and Boost Reliability

Geneva, January 6, 2021 – STMicroelectronics’ 800V 8H Triacs operate at full rated current up to the maximum junction temperature of 150°C, allowing heatsinks in drives for AC loads to be up to 50% smaller to combine compact dimensions with high reliability.

Suited to industrial, personal care, smart-home, and smart-building applications, the new Triacs leverage ST’s latest Snubberless™ high-temperature technology to achieve their outstanding ruggedness. With low on-state voltage (VTM), which ensures high operating efficiency and minimizes self-heating, the devices also have low leakage current that is stable over time to reduce standby … Read More → "High-Temperature Snubberless™ 8H Triacs from STMicroelectronics Save Space and Boost Reliability"
