Power Integrations Introduces the InnoSwitch3-PD Family of Flyback Switcher ICs with Built-in USB PD Controller A fully integrated charger solution combines USB PD, PPS, PowiGaN and FluxLink to maximize efficiency and slash component count in adapters and chargers Power Integrations (Nasdaq: POWI), the leader in high- voltage integrated circuits for energy-efficient power conversion, announced the InnoSwitch™3-PD family of ICs, the industry’s most highly integrated solution for USB Type-C, USB Power Delivery (PD), and USB Programmable Power Supply (PPS) adapters. This compact InSOP™-24D-packaged IC includes a USB-C and PD controller, a high-voltage PowiGaN™ switch, a multi-mode quasi-resonant flyback controller, secondary- side sensing, FluxLink™ isolated digital feedback and a synchronous-rectification driver. Aditya Kulkarni, senior product marketing engineer at Power Integrations said: “InnoSwitch3-PD ICs target designers seeking the ultimate in charger power density. This requires the highest level of integration and maximum efficiency to limit self-heating. Our latest addition to the InnoSwitch3 family dramatically simplifies the development and manufacturing of compact, energy- efficient USB PD power supplies for smartphones, tablets, notebooks, and other devices that benefit from fast charging. InnoSwitch3-PD ICs reduce the BOM count to half that of conventional designs, reducing design time and simplifying high-volume manufacture for slim, ultra-compact OEM and aftermarket chargers.” Featuring no-load power consumption as low as 14 mW, power supply designs using InnoSwitch3-PD ICs meet all global energy-efficiency regulations. The high efficiency of these devices ensures low heat dissipation,

20 pins, two rows – and no smarter way for high power connections Following the market’s high demand for the heat and vibration-proof CF1 board-to-FPC connector, Panasonic Industry now launches the new double-row CF2 version for automotive battery management and lighting systems. For the sake of simplified, time- and cost-efficient assembly, there is no smarter and robust way to connect a PCB with a flexible printed circuit (FPC): Just two parts – a plug and a receptacle – are needed for a reliable, vibration resistant high power connection, making relay wire harnessing sets redundant. These are good news, as the use of daytime running lamps gets more common – let alone the increased usage of battery management systems. Following the successful launch of the CF1 connector with 4 to 10 pins in one row, Panasonic Industry now announces the new CF2 type coming with 20 pins in two rows, offering other pin configurations on request. “We are glad to serve the automotive market’s demands for clever, reliable and weight-saving connectors now on a wider base with additional pin configurations”, states Carsten Wieber from Panasonic Industry Europe. “Having in mind the electric vehicles’ battery management systems as well as their overall electronic infrastructure are getting more and more sophisticated, we expect the CF2
