MOSFETs

The fast, yet soft reverse recovery time characteristics of HEXFET(R)high-voltage power MOSFETs help them reduce EMI emissions in zero-voltage switching (ZVS) power supplies. ZVS topologies offer increased power density because their faster switching frequencies reduces the size of magnetic components. The MOSFETs reduce power-supply noise and enable switching speeds as fast as 250 kHz.

Level switch

Suitable for liquids that don't crystalize or leave a solid residue, the ELS-1200CR electro-optic level switch monitors liquids within vessels pressurized to 2,500 psi. Integrated electronics eliminate the need for a separate controller, and the solid-state design extends service life by eliminating moving parts.

Sensor interface

The LS6511 low-current, mixed-signal IC features a two-stage differential amplifier to directly interface with PIR sensor outputs. A window comparator and digital filter process amplifier outputs to eliminate noise and validate motion. An external RC network controls gain and bandwidth, and two outputs can directly drive a relay coil and LED.
