Rethinking wafer fabrication and converter design can make SiC devices more affordable and accessible, advocate Corey Deyalsingh, Littelfuse and Sujit Banerjee, Monolith Semiconductor

The SureSense family of user-customisable photo-electric sensors have been developed by SICK as a concept that enables machine builders and plant engineers to specify from a wide-range of sensing options all within a standard technology, set-up, mounting and housing.The durable SureSense sensors can reliably detect nearly any object in any environment – ensuring machines and lines stay up and running at full capacity.

Availability and full design support capabilities for a new silicon carbide power MOSFET from Wolfspeed have been announced by Richardson RFPD. The 1200V, 75 mΩ C3M0075120J features Wolfspeed’s C3M SiC MOSFET technology and is available in a compact, seven-lead TO-263-7 surface mount package.

OptiScan Biomedical Corporation has announced that the US FDA has granted 510(k) clearance for the OptiScanner 5000 Glucose Monitoring System. The clearance allows the device to be used for monitoring plasma glucose levels and determining dysglycemia in surgical intensive care unit (SICU) patients. The OptiScanner 5000 is the first-of-its-kind automated, bedside glucose monitoring system that provides physicians with critical trending and trackin...

The main challenges of driving SiC MOSFETs include high-frequency and high-voltage switching.Extreme voltage potentials between the control and power side can wear down isolation barriers and lead to failures. To meet these tough requirements, RECOM has recently introduced a new 2W DC/DC converter series specially designed to power the latest generation of SiC MOSFETs.Switching SiC MOSFETs requires turn-on and turn-off voltages atypical of other ...

In order to provide robust solutions in hygienic processing environments with rigorous high pressure, high temperature wash-down procedures,SICK has introduced IP69K-rated versions of its deTec and deTem safety light curtains.Protected by specially-developed IP69K enclosures, the SICK deTec and deTem light curtains will not be compromised by aggressive regimes such as Clean- and Sterilise-in-Place (CIP and SIP). Additionally, cleaning is quicker,...

The microBUCK family of synchronous buck regulators from Vishay Intertechnology has been expanded with 2A to 10A devices featuring a wide input voltage range of 4.5V to 60V. Combining high performance n-channel trench MOSFETs with a controller in the compact MLP55-27L package, space-saving Vishay Siliconix SiC46X devices deliver high efficiency and power density while improving long term reliability and simplifying thermal management.

UCLA biophysicists have developed a new method to rapidly determine a single cell’s stiffness and size — which could ultimately lead to improved treatments for cancer and other diseases.The method allows researchers to make standardised measurements of single cells, determine each cell’s stiffness and assign it a number, generally between 10 and 20,000, in a unit of measurement called pascals. Pascals can be used to quantify any...

Wolfspeed, supplier of silicon carbide (SiC) power products — including SiC MOSFETs, Schottky diodes, and modules — has advanced the development of high efficiency data centre power supplies through the implementation of an innovative totem-pole PFC topology that employs its latest low-inductance SiC MOSFETs to exceed an 80+ Titanium rating, which is critical for reducing the overall power consumption for data centres, estimated to be...
