RS Components Launches DesignSpark power technology hub

Sponsored by Maxim, the DesignSpark power technology hub features learning material, application examples, products, reference designs and software tools for use by design engineers working on power systems for the requirements of various applications.

“Effective power management –and especially low-power technology–is critical for all electrical and electronic circuits: from battery-management ICs for low-power applications using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) communications, for example, to motor-drive ICs and DC/DC converters up to complete power supplies,” the firm says.

In addition to working with Maxim on the hub, RS recently signed a distribution agreement with Maxim.

RS is expanding its Maxim portfolio to include the company’s DC-DC converters, as well as devices such as sensors and microcontroller development kits for IoT and industrial IoT applications in addition to the growing wearables market.

“Our new power tech hub is not only an excellent learning resource for design engineers who are new to power design but is also a point of reference for seasoned designers looking to discover the latest power products and technologies,” said Mike Bray, vice president of DesignSpark at RS.
