Surface Mount, Non-Isolated Dc-Dc Converter Offers Extreme Efficiency at a Low Cost

TUALATIN, Ore. — 04/07/2020 — CUI Inc today announced the addition of its first four contact, surface mount, non-isolated converter to its dc-dc converter line (https://www.cui.com/catalog/dc-dc-converters). The ultra-thin VXO78-500-M (https://www.cui.com/product/dc-dc-converters/non-isolated/vxo78-500-m-series) features a 500mA output current, no-load input current as low as 0.2mA and a wide -40 to +85°C temperature range. This regulated dc-dc converter offers a wide 4.75 to 36 Vdc input voltage range, short-circuit protection and 4-SMD reflow solderability in an ultra-compact SMT package with half-vias corners.

Unlike linear regulators, this ultra-compact, surface mount dc-dc converter offers extreme efficiency (up to 95%), making the VXO78-500-M an ideal solution for applications where board space is at a premium and maximizing energy efficiency is a concern. General applications for the VXO78-500-M include ITE (commercial), controls and electronics that require a wide input at a low cost.

The VXO78-500-M (https://www.cui.com/product/dc-dc-converters/non-isolated/vxo78-500-m-series) is available immediately with prices starting at $2.52 per unit at 100 pieces through distribution. Please contact CUI (http://www.cui.com/contact) for OEM pricing or modified & custom designs.

Designing Robust 5G Power Amplifiers for the Real World

Sponsored by Keysight

Simulating 5G power amplifier (PA) designs at the component and system levels with authentic modulation and high-fidelity behavioral models increases predictability, lowers risk, and shrinks schedules. Simulation software enables multi-technology layout and multi-domain analysis, evaluating the impacts of 5G PA design choices while delivering accurate results in a single virtual workspace. This application note delves into how authentic modulation enhances predictability and performance in 5G millimeter-wave systems.
