International Rectifier, a provider of power management technology, introduces a quartet of devices in a new line of RAD-Hard solid state relays (SSRs) for high reliability (hi-rel) applications. The ...

Here’s a MEMS relay with an integrated FET that can handle higher power levels, breaking away from the “low power” moniker associated with MEMS parts. Paul Rako takes a closer look at what makes this ...

Automotive electronic control applications require robust input power conditioning. The circuitry must absorb 100-V transients on one hand, while providing a stable dc bus for a few hundred ...

Most of Europe’s 240 million electricity meters are expected to be replaced by smart meters by 2020. It is currently estimated that approximately 78 million of these meters will need to use AC ...

Relays are often used as electrically controlled switches. Unlike transistors, their switch contacts are electrically isolated from the control input. On the other hand, the power dissipation in a ...
