MTI MicroFuel Cells and Trident Systems are teaming up to pursue opportunities to leverage MTI Micro's fuel cell technology for consumer markets in low-power military applications.


New Products and Services

Low-Noise LDOs Come In 2-mm x 2-mm Package
From Maxim Integrated Products, the MAX8902A/MAX8902B are 500-mA, low-noise, low-dropout linear regulators offered in thermally enhanced, 2-mm x 2-mm TDFN packages.

Building Block Shrinks Buck Converters
An addition to International Rectifier's iPOWIR integrated power conversion stage product line, the iP1206 is designed for two-phase single-output buck converter applications up to 30 A or dual independent outputs up to 15 A.

MOSFET Boosts Efficiency in Paralleled Server Supplies
From STMicroelectronics, the STV300NH02L power MOSFET provides micro-ohm on-resistance to reduce losses in power supply systems such as server applications where n-channel MOSFETs are used to parallel power supplies.

Multi-Output Controllers Integrate Greater Functionality
Intersil's ISL8501 and ISL8510 are multiple-output standard buck ICs that integrate critical power management functions including enhanced fault protection to lower the number of components and save board space in point-of-load applications.

60-A Filter Targets Noisy Industrial Applications
Tyco Electronics has expanded its S Series family of Corcom filters with its smallest, multi-stage package for a 60-A filter designed for high-noise industrial environments.
