Omron introduces new MOSFET relay

Omron Electronic Components Europe is introducing the G3VM S-VSON(L) MOS FET relay, designed for use in semiconductor test equipment, communication equipment, and test and measurement equipment. 

This relay is capable of operating at ambient temperatures of up to 125˚C, marking an improvement on previous iterations which were limited to ambient temperatures of 110˚C. (Read more.)

TI unveils chips boosting protection, density and efficiency for data centres

Texas Instruments (TI) has debuted new power-management chips to support the rapidly growing power needs of modern data centres.

As the adoption of high-performance computing and artificial intelligence (AI) increases, data centres require more power-dense and efficient solutions. TI’s new TPS1685 is the industry’s first 48V integrated hot-swap eFuse with power-path protection to support data centre hardware and processing needs. (Read more.)

onsemi launches SiC-based intelligent power modules

onsemi has introduced the first generation of its 1200V silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFET-based SPM 31 intelligent power modules (IPMs).

onsemi EliteSiC SPM 31 IPMs deliver the highest energy efficiency and power density in the smallest form factor compared to using Field Stop 7 IGBT technology, resulting in lower total system cost than any other leading solution on the market. Their improved thermal performance, reduced power losses and ability to support fast switching speeds makes these IPMs ideally suited for three-phase inverter drive applications. (Read more.)

Single-stage BDS converters drive paradigm shift in power

Navitas Semiconductor has revealed a breakthrough in the world’s first production-released 650 V bi-directional GaNFast ICs and high-speed isolated gate-drivers, creating a paradigm shift in power with single-stage BDS converters, which enables the transition from two-stage to single-stage topologies.

Targeted applications range widely and opens up multi-billion dollar market opportunities across EV charging (On-Board Chargers (OBC) and roadside), solar inverters, energy storage and motor drives. (Read more.)

Infineon extends radiation-tolerant power MOSFET portfolio

Infineon has announced the addition of P-channel power MOSFETs to its family of radiation-tolerant power MOSFETs for Low-Earth-Orbit (LEO) space applications.

The new devices are part of Infineon’s expanding portfolio designed for next-generation ‘NewSpace’ applications, providing cost-optimised radiation-tolerant MOSFETs that enable engineers to achieve faster time-to-market designs using smaller and lighter weight components with radiation performance suitable for missions lasting two to five years.
