‘Current Monitoring’
An Electronicstalk guide
Start with the news release
Power supplies can be provided in 2U rack mount from
Safety Power, which we summarised at the time by saying "Safety Power has launched a range of high-quality 3,000W analogue power supplies that can be supplied in 2U rack mount or as an installation unit for mounting-board assembly applications. ".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Power interconnects make better use of airflow from
Tyco Electronics: "Tyco Electronics has developed a range of power interconnects, comprising the Multi-Beam XLE and Minipak HDL connectors, to meet the demand for increased current density with modular power solutions.".
In March 2010, we covered the news from Linear Technology
- take a look at DC/DC controller is ideal for portable instruments
which says: "Linear Technology has introduced the LTC3868/-1, a low quiescent current, two-phase dual output synchronous step-down DC/DC controller.".
Take a look also at the news release from Radicom Research, Radicom Research launches medical-certified modems,
as well as AVX varistor series can withstand multiple strikes from AVX,
and Campbell Collins demonstrates Ericsson converters from Campbell Collins.
