The NCP1568 is a highly integrated AC-DC Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) controller in ACF topology including Zero Voltage Switching (ZVS) for high frequency applications (up to 1 MHz) requiring high power density and energy efficiency . It seamlessly transitions to discontinuous conduction mode (DCM), improving energy efficiency under light load conditions, enabling standby power consumption below 30 milliwatts (mW), in compliance with global energy efficiency regulatory standards. Adaptive ZVS frequency modulation provides variable output voltage, optimizing the implementation of USB-PD and fast charging. ACF topologies with proven superjunction FETs or high-performance Gallium Nitride (GaN) FETs can be used with fewer external components for higher density designs. The NCP1568 is housed in a small TSSOP-16 package with multiple protection functions. The silent jump function eliminates audible noise during operation, an essential requirement for indoor power adapter applications.

The NCP51530 is a 700-volt (V) high frequency, high-side and low-side driver that directly drives two N-channel power MOSFETs in high performance power applications. It features fast dynamic response, 30 nanosecond (ns) propagation delay for high frequency operation, and 5 ns propagation delay matching to ensure market-leading energy efficiency performance. The NCP51530 provides a very robust solution that is not susceptible to dv/dt (up to 50 V/ns) and negative transients.

Weltrend's USB PD controller WT6615F supports USB PD 3.0 specification and QC 3.0 for USB Type-C DFP downstream port (source) charging applications by integrating USB PD baseband physical layer, Type-C detection, shunt regulator, Voltage and current sensing, MOSFET controller for load switching, and 8-bit microprocessor minimize external component count for small form factor and low bill of material (BOM) cost, supporting a wide operating voltage range of 3 V to 30 V, No external LDO is required, and the multiple programmable ROM can be used to edit program code and user configuration data.

Incremental Encoder

Incremental encoders provide speed, direction and relative position feedback by generating a stream of binary pulses proportional to the rotation of a motor or driven shaft. Lander offers both optical and magnetic incremental encoders in 4 mounting options: shafted with coupling, hollow-shaft, hub-shaft or bearingless. Single channel incremental encoders can measure speed which dual channel or quadrature encoders (AB) can interpret direction based on the phase relationship between the 2 channels. Indexed quadrature encoders (ABZ) are also available for homing location are startup.
