Zeta, or ‘inverse sepic’, is another one of those dc-dc converters, like Cuk and Sepic, that have a capacitor in series with the power path. Both zeta and Sepic have the same transfer function: Vout=Vin x D/(1-D). BTW, this is also the boost converter equation. Cuk is the same, except the output is inverted. input …

Zeta – that other dc-dc topology

Sequans, the French LTE specialist, is to enable LTE in European aircraft by having its LTE chip-set inside European aeroplanes as part of the European Aviation Network (EAN) high-speed in-flight broadband access solution. The LTE access devices – called complementary ground component (CGC) terminals – will be fitted onto aircraft flying over Europe and will …

Sequans to bring LTE access to European aircraft

Texas Instruments is claiming industry’s lowest quiescent current for a 3-65V buck converter. Optimised for light-load efficiency in factory automation and automotive applications, it can draw as little as 10.5μA, as well as delivering 150mA. There are two versions of the buck converter: LM5165 for industrial and LM5165-Q1 for AEC-Q100 automotive. Both work with junctions up to 150ºC. “The …

TI’s 65V buck converter draws only 10μA

The Rubik SSL luminaire family enables geometrically-compelling tunable LED lighting designs to be integrated into the commercial built environment, while new Mainstream Dynamic technology enables teachers to have access to lighting that can optimize students’ learning environment.

Acuity Trilia OLED fixtures deliver style and quality light at the offices of Aurora Lighting Design, but efficacy trails LED-based lighting and driver installation was complex.

A Distributed Low Voltage Power architecture that carries power and control to LED luminaires is a new initiative for Eaton and the company will seek to standardize the approach.

AWS Database Migration Service now supports Amazon Redshift as a migration target. This allows you to stream data to Amazon Redshift from any of the supported sources including Amazon Aurora, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, Oracle, and SQL Server, enabling consolidation and easy analysis of data in the petabyte-scale data warehouse.

The Los Angeles Cleantech Incubator is led by the City of Los Angeles and its Department of Water and Power and helps accelerate the commercialization of clean technologies.

The new rates would take effect January 1, 2018, pending approval by the California Public Utilities Commission.

This is the third consecutive year that Evoqua has received this highest Safety Award from Chevron.
