encapsulated models ranging from 10 W to 30 W. The PDQ10-D, PDQ15-D and PDQ30-D output 10 W, 15 W and 30 W of power respectively in an industry standard 1” x 1” package, making them ideal replacements for larger 1” x 2” modules. The PDQ-D models also feature a 4:1 input voltage range of 9~36 or 18~75 Vdc with high typical efficiencies up to 90%. Housed in a compact, low-profile DIPpackage with a five- sided, shielded metal case, the rugged, encapsulated modules measure just 25.4 x 25.4 x 10.16 mm (1 x 1 x 0.40 in) and come available with single regulated output voltages of 3.3, 5, 12 and 15 Vdc or dual regulated output voltages of ±5, ±12 and ±15 Vdc. Thanks to its wide -40 to +105°C operating temperature range and encapsulated design, the PDQ-D series is suitable for convection-cooled equipment and harsh environments with target applications that include telecom, industrial, remote sensor systems and portable electronics. All PDQ-D models offer an input to output isolation of 1,500 Vdc and feature remote on/off control while single output models also offer output voltage trimming that allows for a ±10% adjustment of the nominal output. Protections for over voltage, input under voltage lockout and continuous short circuit are also included. The PDQ10-D, PDQ-15-D and PDQ30-D are available immediately with prices starting at $21.84 per unit at 100 pieces through distribution. Please contact CUI for OEM pricing. Visit CUI’s booth (Power Hall A2, Booth 613) at electronica 2016 where the company will be showcasing the three new PDQ-D series and the rest of their power portfolio ranging from 1 W to 12,000 W. electronica is the world’s leading trade fair for electronic components, systems and applications, and will be held at the Messe München in Munich, Germany from November 8-11, 2016.

Vishay Introduces New Analog Switch Product Families Built on Advanced Silicon Process That Improves Analog Circuit Performance and Reliability Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) today announced that it is upgrading several Vishay Siliconix analog switch products to boost device performance and longevity. Replacing aging silicon technology with an advanced process that improves a range of device parameters while ensuring a useful lifetime well into the future, the move signals Vishay’s continuing support for its analog switch and multiplexer product lines, which the company pioneered in the 1960s. The new enhanced family of analog switches and multiplexers introduced by Vishay Siliconix is designed on a high-density 18 V process. The process not only offers an upgrade path for customers using Vishay’s current 12 V series products, but also enables Vishay to develop new precision analog products with higher complexity for sensitive analog designs. Key improvements to device specifications include an increase of the operating voltage from 12 V to 16 V; lower leakage, reduced parasitic capacitance, and faster switching speeds; and enhanced ruggedness, with higher latch-up current and ESD protection ratings. For example, the new DG9408E and DG9409E — drop-in upgrades for the popular DG9408 and DG9409 — feature 20 % lower switch on-resistance, 10 % faster switching speeds, 35 % lower parasitic capacitance, enhanced latch-up capability to 400 mA, and guaranteed ESD protection to 2.5 kV (human body model). Vishay is building the new devices on a mature process platform in an established facility with an eye towards shortening lead times and fully supporting the long life cycles of these analog switch products, which are widely used in such market applications as industrial control and automation systems, audio and video signal routing, instrumentation and test equipment, data acquisition, communication systems, and medical and healthcare systems. “These new products are the first in a series of innovative analog devices that this new process enables. We’re confident that customers who adopt these new products will see performance improvements in their precision analog circuit designs,” said Roy Shoshani, vice president, power ICs at Vishay. “We know that our customers designing for applications such as industrial,
