Full-SiC-module suits PV inverters, UPS & charging systems
Higher efficiency, increased power density, smaller footprints and reduced system costs: these are the main advantages of transistors based on SiC. Infineon Technologies is starting volume production for the Easy 1B, the first full-SiC module announced during PCIM 2016. At PCIM 2017, the company showcased additional module platforms and topologies for the 1200V CoolSiC MOSFET family. Infineon is now able to bring the potential of SiC technology t...
Broadband amplifiers feature tunable transmission characteristics
New technologies and innovations such as eMobility, Internet of Things, 5G and satellite communications are driving markets, bringing about many new developments in the field of wireless communications, in particular RF components, RF subsystems and systems. To address the wide range of tests required during design and product validation Rohde & Schwarz has introduced the R&S BBA130 broadband amplifier family.
Designers double the power density in space-constrained motor drives
Texas Instruments has introduced two new device families that help reduce size and weight in motor drive applications. When used together, DRV832x brushless DC (BLDC) gate drivers and CSD88584/99 NexFET Power Blocks require as little as 511mm2, half the board space of competing solutions.
Discover design techniques at power supply webinar
At the Applied Power Electronics Conference - APEC 2017 - and the Power Conversion and Intelligent Motion conference - PCIM Europe 2017 - visitors saw the strides made by researchers and manufacturers alike. Beyond all the technical papers, podium discussions and roundtables, on the exhibition floors attendees were treated to scores of examples of customer systems that achieve previously unattainable efficiencies and power density levels.
40V/3A stepper-motor control IC ensures quieter running
Toshiba has begun sampling a 40V/3.0A stepper-motor control IC that requires no external current-sense resistors, and hence enables more economical and compact drives in equipment such as printers, office machines, surveillance cameras, banking terminals, banknote identification machines, and home appliances. Further new features increase efficiency, reduce heat generation, and enhance accuracy at high speeds.
How is smart power evolving?
The term 'smart power' is used to refer to the automatic response of a power chip to an external situation. Now, it means much more.
When it comes to power, everybody wants more
Whether it’s the proliferation of processing intensive, AC-powered cloud technology in data centres or other demanding applications like the latest power hungry electric vehicles - everybody likes more. More power. More performance. More efficiency. More density.
IGBT gate drivers reduce discrete components count
SCALE-2 IGBT gate drivers from Power Integrations are in stock at Mouser Electronics. These flexible insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) gate driver cores integrate commonly required driver functions — including galvanic isolation, protection, and DC/DC conversion — in a single module.
ADI & Microsemi launch scalable SiC driver reference design
Microsemi and Analog Devices have announced a scalable SiC driver reference design solution at PCIM Europe 2017. The solution is based on a range of Microsemi SiC MOSFET products and ADI’s ADuM4135 5KV isolated gate driver. Both companies are exhibiting in PCIM's Hall 6; Analog Devices are on stand458, andMicrosemi on stand 318.
MOSFETs enhance power density of high-efficiency converters
Very High-Voltage (VHV) super-junction transistors have been announced by STMicroelectronics with the extra advantage of a fast-recovery diode. The latest MDmesh DK5 power MOSFETs help designers maximise the efficiency of various power-conversion topologies including LLC resonant converters with Zero-Voltage Switching (ZVS).
