Eaton Electronics 5G Applications

Eaton Electronics offers an expansive portfolio of high-reliability components needed to drive 5G forward. Because 5G telecommunication units are typically placed in rugged environments, continuous uptime requirements for their operation and the reliability of the internal electronics are of great importance. A variety of components, often passives, can be readily added in key locations within 5G communications systems to enhance reliability and mitigate subcircuits susceptible to electrostatic discharge (ESD), electromagnetic interference (EMI), and electromagnetic pulse (EMP). Eaton 5G products can withstand harsh environments while delivering high performance.

5G Communication

Supercapacitors and 5G
Supercapacitors store electrons in an extremely dense electric field, allowing them to charge and discharge quickly compared to conventional battery technologies. Supercapacitors may not be as energy-dense as the latest battery technologies, but they still respond in milliseconds or less to changes in supply voltage conditions.

ESD Protection for 5G
Using circuit protection devices to protect susceptible parts of the 5G communication link circuitry is critical to ensuring 100% uptime and minimal system maintenance. Even premium PSU / power modules can be subjected to voltage / current conditions at the grid connection, resulting in overvoltage or overcurrent conditions. These surges can be carried onto 5G subsystem boards through conductive enclosures or result in EMI that is conducted to subcircuits within the system. Therefore, circuit protection devices are vital for 5G communication systems.

5G Voltage Regulation
FP power inductors are compact, surface-mount devices that can be placed near leads or terminals to sensitive components, including FPGAs, ASICs, CPUs, and RF / analog components. For 5G systems, FP power inductors offer voltage regulation and filtering of DC/DC conversion circuitry, providing voltage rails for various digital, analog, and RF circuits.
