CUI’s Second Generation of Digital Point-of-Load Modules Dynamically Set Optimum Stability in Real Time as Conditions Change

CUI Inc announced the release of its second generation digital point of load dc-dc modules for distributed power architecture applications. The NDM2P series is the latest addition to CUI’s Novum® Advanced Power product line, which focuses solely on the design and development of leading edge power platforms. The modules offer true cycle-by-cycle compensation, autonomously balancing the trade-offs between dynamic performance and system stability. With this feature, designers are able to bypass the traditional practice of building-in margins to account for factors such as component ageing, manufacturing variations, and temperature, which inevitably lead to higher component cost and longer design cycles. With the NDM2P’s self compensation feature, the module is able to dynamically set optimum stability in real time as conditions change. With the addition of these second generation modules based on Powervation’s digital IC, CUI continues to be the only module manufacturer in the industry to offer a full portfolio of self compensating digital POL modules.

Offering efficiencies above 93% at half load, the NDM2P series is initially available in three compact DIP configurations; a 12 A version measuring 0.825 (L) X 0.500 (W) X 0.286 (H) in., a 25 A version measuring 1.01 x 0.54 x 0.32 in., and a 50 A version measuring 1.215 x 0.79 x 0.36 in. SMT and SIP versions will be available as well. Additionally, to support dual layout needs, the modules are footprint nested.

The NDM2P series is available with an input range of 4.5~14 Vdc and a programmable output range of 0.6~3.3 Vdc. Features include active current sharing, voltage sequencing, voltage tracking, synchronization and phase spreading, programmable soft start and stop, as well as a host of monitoring capabilities. All features are dynamically programmable via PMBus commands or a simple, easy to use GUI.

“This is our second generation of fully-featured digital modules based on the Powervation technology,” said Mark Adams, CUI’s Senior Vice President. "The NDM2P is our highest performance family to date, targeting customers that value high efficiency and fast transient response in an extremely compact module design."

Engineering samples are available immediately for select customers.

Han® HC 250 high current contact

A Powerful Solution HARTING has developed the new Han® HC 250high current connector as a powerful interface that impresses by requiring little space, transmitting high current intensities and allowing flexible configuration of the number of poles. The HC 250 one-pole crimp module can be connected in various frame geometries to produce the required number of poles in a compact space – and in the existing Han® HPR housing. Technical details: - Rated current 250 A at a rated voltage of 2000 V - Termination cross-sections are: 35 mm2, 50 mm2 and 70 mm2 - Maximum four-pole interfaces in a size 24 B HPR housing, making it particularly suitable for motor connections - High quality plastic with good smoke and inflammability levels - Removal tool for simple installation and removal of the contacts and inserts - Confusion of a number of interfaces is reliably prevented by multiple coding options for the individual inserts The requirements in the railway industry are changing, as

EGCS-D0 Accelerometer Now Available in 10,000g Range

Measurement Specialties, Inc. (NASDAQ: MEAS) has recently redesigned the EGCS-D0 accelerometer to enable it to accurately and reliably measure up to ±10,000g. This rugged device is critically damped, which is the ideal mechanism to protect the accelerometer against ±20,000g impacts and prevent sensor ringing. The EGCS-D0 accelerometer is now available in ranges from ±5g to ±10,000g which makes it ideal for both critical low-g measurements and high-g impacts. These units feature a Wheatstone Bridge mV output with a standard compensated temperature range of 20ºC to 80ºC (other options available). The EGCS-D0 was specifically designed for impact and shock testing in auto safety, aerospace, military and civil engineering applications. Designed to be bolt-mounted, this device operates from 2-15Vdc excitation with electrical output ratiometric to voltage input. Optional triaxial mounting blocks (MTG-F4), signal conditioners (Model 101) and auto-zero inline amplifiers (Model 140) are avai

Ilix Cermet Reamers Are Ideal For Dry Machining Engineers Cutting Tools, the UK agent for Ilix, has introduced Ilix solid-carbide and cermet reamers for the machining of hard metals. The machine reamers 6372C and 6323 allow the production of high-precision holes with good surface finish. Compared with HSS, the solid-carbide qualities enable the increase of cutting parameters and tool life. The quality of the reamers is said to guarantee high performance, even for hard metals with a resistance more than 1200N/mm2. The Ilix carbide 6372C range of hundredth reamers is from 0.98mm through to 12.05mm in increments of 0.01mm. The reamers are manufactured to a tolerance of +0.000 - +0.004mm. The cermet reamers 6323 have new cutting geometry developed by Ilix. These reamers are said to be ideal for steel machining, having high chemical stability during the cutting process. They offer good wear resistance due to the high hardness and have low material adhesion. The Ilix cermet reamer is said to
