Intermediate Circuit Capacitors from WIMA
WIMA DC-Link capacitors are ideally suited to high power converter applications where, due to increasing electrical requirements, they are commonly replacing electrolytic capacitors.
Manufactured with a low loss polypropylene dielectric, DC-Link capacitors from WIMA exhibit a higher current carrying capability as well as lower dissipation/self-heating at high frequencies when compared to electrolytic capacitors.
DC-Link capacitors from WIMA offer features that include:
- Very high capacitance/volume ratio
- High voltage rating per component
- Very low dissipation factor (ESR)
- Very high insulation resistance
- Excellent self-healing properties
- Long life expectancy
- Non-polar construction
- Particularly reliable contact configuration
- High shock and vibration resistance
- Outstanding mechanical stability
WIMA DC-LINK MKP 4 capacitors in rectangular case are available with capacitance values ranging from 5 
F through 75 F, with rated voltages from 450 VDC through 1100 VDC. For mounting purposes 4-lead versions or screwable plate options are available.
WIMA DC-LINK MKP C capacitors in cylindrical case are available with capacitances from 30 F through 250 
F, with rated voltages of 400 VDC, 600 VDC and 850 VDC. For mounting purposes axial M6 or M8 threaded terminations are available.
Based on their internal construction and their non-polarized connection configuration, WIMA DC-LINK HC capacitors can as an example, be connected as one 4500 F/400 VDC, as two 2250 F/400 VDC or alternatively as one 1125 F/800 VDC component. Depending on the case size and wiring version, values between 85 F/1600 VDC and 4500 F/400 VDC are available. Customized solutions are also supported.

MachXO – Most Versatile Non-Volatile PLD for Low-Density Applications
The MachXO family of non-volatile infinitely reconfigurable Programmable Logic Devices (PLDs) is designed for applications traditionally implemented using CPLDs or low-density FPGAs. Widely adopted in a broad range of applications that require general purpose I/O expansion, interface bridging and power-up management functions, MachXO PLDs offer the benefits of increased system integration by providing embedded memory, built-in PLLs, high performance LVDS I/O, remote field upgrade (TransFRTM technology) and a low power sleep mode, all in a single-device.
Designed for a broad range of low density applications, the MachXO PLD family is used in a variety of end markets including Automotive, Communications, Consumer, Computing, Industrial and Medical.

Battery Charger ICs from Summit Microelectronics
Summit Microelectronics has introduced two more members of its third-generation programmable battery charger integrated circuit (IC) family.
The SMB136 and SMB137B employ Current Path technology, providing dual input source (USB or AC/DC) with arbitration, dual output for system and battery and system operation with a dead or missing battery.
Both products support all battery charging standards:
- USB 2.0 Specification,
- USB On-The-Go Supplement,
- USB Battery Charging Specification 1.0,
- IEEE1725 Standard,
- Chinese USB Charging Specification, and others.
Furthermore, the SMB136 and SMB137B are the only battery charger ICs with CurrentPath to detect the input source type (USB host/hub, AC/DC, etc.).

WIMA New Super Cap Modules
Double-Layer Capacitors from WIMA are now also available as cascaded and balanced modules with capacitances up to 200 F or with nominal voltages up to 28 VDC.
WIMA SuperCaps have a service life beyond 10 years and can easily sustain more than 500,000 charge/discharge cycles, when operated within specification.
The efficiency is far higher than 90%. Compared to other energy storage solutions, WIMA SuperCaps stand out for maintenance-free operation, high life expectancy and relatively low weight. This makes them very well suited to applications in isolated systems e.g. in inaccessible areas.
