Maxim DC/DC Chargers For Portable Media Players

Maxim's DC/DC chargers suit space-constrained portable devices such as smartphones, Bluetooth headsets, portable media players (PMPs) and mobile internet devices (MIDs). The MAX8900A/MAX8900B switch-mode DC-DC chargers have Jeita-compliant battery-temperature monitoring for safely charging one-cell lithium-ion or lithium-polymer batteries. These are said to be the first chargers to integrate +/-20V overvoltage protection, which allows them to provide added safety and reliability without external switches.

The MAX8900A/MAX8900B operate at a high switching frequency of 3.25MHz to allow the use of small external components. They deliver up to 1.2A of charge current to the battery from 3.4 to 6.3V (MAX8900A) or 3.4 to 8.7V (MAX8900B), without generating excessive heat. The maximum charge current for MAX8900A/MAX8900B can be programmed from 50 to 1,200mA using a small external resistor. Other charger parameters, such as the safety timer and prequalification current, are also adjustable to provide maximum flexibility for system designers to meet their application requirements.

The MAX8900A/MAX8900B are available in a 2.44 x 2.67 x 0.64mm, 40-bump wafer-level package (WLP) with a 0.4mm pitch and are fully specified over the -40 to 85C extended temperature range.

What is Class I Division 2?

Image
A Class I Division 2 is a location: (1) In which volatile flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are handled, processed, or used, but in which the liquids, vapors, or gases will normally be confined within closed containers or closed systems from which they can escape only in case of accidental rupture or breakdown of such containers or systems or in case of abnormal operation of equipment, or (2) In which ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are normally prevented by positive mechanical ventilation, and which might become hazardous through failure or abnormal operation of the ventilating equipment. Class I Division 2 Classification Class I Division 2 refers to the ANSI/ISA 12.12.01 standard. This standard was previously UL1604 until UL recommended the newer ANSI/ISA standard be used and that all hazardous location products be certified under this standa

FUSE SIZING CONSIDERATIONS FOR HIGHER EFFICIENCY MOTORS

Image
When selecting the proper fuse for short circuit protection in motor starting applications, it is important to not only ensure that the fuse will not nuisance open during motor start up times, but also that the fuse will coordinate as required with overload relays. When sizing fuses between 125% and 150% of the motor nameplate current, several advantages, including ease of coordination with an overload device, a smaller disconnect, and increased short circuit protection from a lower fuse rating, can be achieved. However, if sizing at this level prevents the motor from starting, it may then be necessary to increase the fuse ampere rating and it then becomes important to know the NEC sizing limitations. As of June 1, 2016, the US Department of Energy has mandated that newly manufactured electric motors will need to meet NEMA Premium® efficiency standards. As motor efficiencies increase, motor locked rotor currents can also be expected to increase. In addition to this, with across-the-lin

7/8 16UN Connectors that Provide 600 Volts and 15 Amps

TURCK announces new A-Size 3 and 4-pin 7/8 16UN powerfast™ connectors that provide up to 600 Volts and 15 Amps of power. These IP67 rated connectors provide a modular wiring system designed to handle high current applications for machine power distribution, while providing resistance to vibration commonly associated with conveyors, motors and material handling applications. The cordsets are available with a tray rated, exposed run PVC flexlife ® cable, with or without STOOW rating, and 14 AWG wires that allow you to replace hard wiring with a robust, quick disconnect system that saves the time and money spent installing a conduit system. The A-Size powerfast line offers male and female, straight connectors, standard and custom lengths, and pigtails or extensions. To make the system complete, fully encapsulated mating receptacles, with 1/2”-14 NPT mounting threads are available.
