Miniature Step-Up Transformers for Energy Harvesting Applications
Coilcraft's new 6 by 6 mm LPR6235 series coupled inductors can be used as step-up
or flyback transformers in DC-DC converters or as autotransformers. They are well
suited for voltage step-up in energy harvesting applications and have been selected by
Linear Technology for their LTC3108 and
LTC3109 Ultralow Voltage Step-Up Converter and Power Managers.
These compact, shielded parts measure 6
mm square by 3.5 mm high. They feature an
improved coupling coefficient (k = 0.95) and
are available with five turns ratios from 1:10
to 1:100 for a variety of voltage step-up and
step-down applications. They offer 300 V
winding-to-winding isolation and their combination of high Isat and low DCR provides
high efficiency and improved current handling in a rugged, low-cost design. Coilcraft
also offer an even smaller LPR 4012 series
transformer that measures 4 mm square by 1.1 mm high.
Both versions are RoHS compliant and offer a maximum reflow temperature of
260°C. They feature silver-palladium-platinum-glass frit terminations. COTS Plus tinsilver-copper and tin-lead terminations are also available.
Lightweight Case Employs Magnetics to Simplify Smartphone Charging
Magnetyze-branded protective cases and magnetic charging cables that enable users to
"charge and go" are now available for the Samsung Galaxy S4 smartphone, BuQu Tech.
Magnetyze by BuQu Tech applies magnetics technology to keep Android and iPhone
smartphones protected, charged and ready. Magnets integrated into the lightweight protective case and at one end of the USB cable included with each Galaxy S4 protective
case make full-speed charging a breeze
and eliminate multiple cords, clumsy cradles and the need for new charging accessories with every smartphone upgrade.
With Magnetyze for the Galaxy S4,
there's no more struggling with plugs
and phone ports. Users simply attach the
magnet at the end of the charging cable
to the magnet on the back of the Magnetyze protective case for instant full-speed
charging from any USB power source. The
custom-designed Magnetyze protective
case (available in black or white) protects
the smartphone from everyday hazards and
enables users to easily access the Galaxy
S4's camera and functional buttons.
The Samsung Galaxy S4 protective case
and quick-connect magnetic charging cable join a growing family of smartphone chargers and charging accessories that include the Samsung Galaxy S3 on the Android
platform and the iPhone 4/4S and iPhone 5.
