Allegro MicroSystems, Inc. Introduces New Offline PWM Switching Regulator IC Family
New Regulator ICs Designed to Meet Standby Power Requirements
Worcester, MA - Allegro MicroSystems, Inc. introduces the STR2W100 and STR3A100 power IC series designed for switching power supplies. These new devices incorporate a power MOSFET and a current mode PWM controller IC in one package. Each package includes a startup circuit and a standby function in the controller, which achieves low power consumption, low standby power, and high cost-effectiveness in power supply systems, while reducing external components. These devices are offered by Allegro and manufactured and developed by Sanken Electric Co., Ltd. in Japan.
This new series is targeted at the consumer, industrial and office automation markets with end applications to include set top boxes, home and digital appliances, office automation equipment and industrial apparatus. Improved internal circuitry can achieve significant reductions in no-load power consumption, up to 10 mW in the STR3A100 series and up to 25 mW in the STR2W100 series.
Two package options are available. The STR2W100 is available in the TO-220F-6L package and the STR3A100 is available in the DIP-8 package.

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
