MALVERN, Pa. — Sept. 26, 2022 — Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) today introduced a new resonant transformer for inductor-inductor-capacitor (LLC) applications that features both the transformer and an integrated inductor in a single package. Designed to save PCB space while simplifying layouts and reducing component mounting requirements, the 5.5 kW Vishay Custom Magnetics MRTI5R5EZ offers fully tunable magnetizing and leakage inductance with minimal parasitic variation.
The device released today is the first transformer of its kind to utilize a second middle transformer leg to complete the resonant inductor portion of the circuit. Other implementations require an additional magnetic core to deliver the same performance. Not only does this unique construction save space, but it also simplifies designs by eliminating the need for interconnects or jumpers from the resonant inductor to the transformer’s winding.
The MRTI5R5EZ will be used in on-board chargers and half- / full-bridge resonant power supply transformers in industrial controls, solar inverters, and military, avionics, and construction equipment. In addition to providing a customizable turns ratio for these applications, the transformer’s losses can be moved from the core to the coil as needed to deliver the best performance and heat dissipation, while its minimal parasitic variation optimizes capacitor selection.
The device features operating frequencies from 100 kHz to 350 kHz, rated power from 4 kW to 6 kW with 400 V to 800 V input voltage, and rated current to 28 A. The isolation voltage rating for the MRTI5R5EZ is 2500 V. The transformer includes a bracket for cold plate mounting with raised bosses, with flush-mount options available. M4 ring terminals are standard for the transformer, with customizable lead lengths and terminal types available, and the device can be provided with a thermal gap pad on the mounting surface.
Samples and production quantities of the MRTI5R5EZ are available now, with lead times of four weeks for samples and 16 to 20 weeks for production quantities. Pricing for U.S. delivery only is $100.00 per piece in 1000-piece quantities.

TI’s SHP space-qualification level provides higher thermal efficiency, a smaller footprint and increased bandwidth compared to traditional ceramic packaging. The common package and pinout between the industrial- and space-grade versions enable you to get the newest technologies into your space hardware designs as soon as the commercial-grade device is sampling, because all prototyping work on the commercial product translates directly to a drop-in space-qualified SHP product.

Isolated gate drivers are a crucial design element that can protect our designs from over-voltage and short circuits. But how can we fine tune these isolated gate drivers to match the design requirements we need? In this episode of Chalk Talk, Amelia Dalton and Perry Rothenbaum from Infineon explore the programmable features included in the EiceDRIVER™ X3 single-channel highly flexible isolated gate drivers from Infineon. They also examine why their reliable and accurate protection, precise and fast on and off switching and DESAT protection can make them a great fit for your next design.
