Intersil Corporation has announced the ISL8225M, a 30A fully encapsulated power module. The ISL8225M can deliver up to 100W-output power from a small 17-mm-square PCB footprint. The two 15A outputs can be used independently or combined to deliver a single 30A output. Current sharing and phase interleaving allow up to six modules to be put in parallel for 180A-output capability. Excellent efficiency and low thermal resistance permit full-power operation without heat sinks or fans.

Luvata has announced Mileon, the longest seamless hollow conductor available on the market. Unlike traditional hollow conductors, Mileon gives manufacturers the option for large continuous coils or the flexibility to specify the optimum length, reducing the required amount of scrap and packaging materials. Mileon hollow conductors are completely jointless and are produced in continuous lengths of hundreds or thousands of metres. Made from high-purity oxygen-free copper, Mileon delivers electrical conductivity of 101–102% IACS and thermal conductivity of 390 W/km.

Pfeiffer Vacuum has introduced energy-saving dry pumps A100 L, with a compact design specially developed for flexible integration in semiconductor production facilities. These dry multistage Roots pumps are ideal for clean applications and the fully integrated ES module reduces energy use to a minimum in the low-pressure range, significantly reducing operating costs. Annual savings per pump total up to 7900 kWh. In addition, the final pressure of the A100 L ES is reduced to 7 × 10–4 mbar (hPa), which opens up new potential applications. For details, contact Sabine Neubrand-Trylat, tel +49 6441 802 1223, e-mail Sabine.Neubrand@pfeiffer-vacuum.de or visit www.pfeiffer-vacuum.com.
UltraVolt Inc has announced lower output voltage ranges on its general-purpose bench-top power system, the BT-GP Series, which are now offered at 1 kV, 2 kV, 4 kV and 6 kV of output power at 30 W. The BT-GP Series is ideal for OEM-biasing applications such as air purification, process fluid cleansing, hi pot testing and for laboratory research. The company has also announced that the –I5 and –I10 interface options are now available on its higher voltage modules (10A–25A Series), low-ripple modules (F Option) and standard high-voltage biasing supplies (A Series). For further details, tel +1 631 471 4444 or see www.ultravolt.com.
XP Power has announced the ECP60 series of compact low profile 60 Watt AC/DC power supplies. These units with typically 88% efficiency measure 101.6 × 50.8 × 30.4 mm and fit into an industry standard footprint. With a no-load power consumption of less than 0.5 W the ECP60 series helps to comply with "green" energy-efficiency specifications. The series comprises eight models offering a +5 VDC single output, three dual-output and four triple-output models.
