3D solutions provide energy savings in silicon power transistor
Tokyo Tech researchers demonstrate operation energy-savings in a low price silicon power transistor structure by scaling down in all three dimensions.In electronics, lower power consumption leads to operation cost savings, environmental benefits and the convenience advantages from longer running devices. While progress in energy efficiencies has been reported with alternative materials such as SiC and GaN, energy-savings in the standard inexpensi...
Infineon to acquire Wolfspeed for $850m in cash
Infineon Technologies and Cree have announced that Infineon has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the Wolfspeed Power and RF division ('Wolfspeed') of Cree. The deal also includes the related SiC wafer substrate business for power and RF power. The purchase price for this planned all-cash transaction is $850m (approximately €740m).
SiC MOSFETs halve on-resistance
Third-generation SiC MOSFETs, the SCT3080KL 1200V models halve on-resistance as well as reduce input capacitance, without sacrificing form factor.
Centennial marked with charitable donation
By donating €20,000 to Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), an international medical humanitarian organisation, NSK is enabling the charity to carry on delivering emergency aid to people affected by armed conflict, epidemics, natural disasters and exclusion from healthcare.
Global agreement supports expansion of United Silicon Carbide's products
Richardson Electronics has announced a distribution agreement with United Silicon Carbide, a manufacturer for SiC devices located in Monmouth Junction, New Jersey. This global agreement supports the expansion of USCi’s products to new customers.
Partnership provides rugged and high temperature IPMs
A partnership betweenBETA Transformer Technology Corporation (BETA) and CISSOID has developedcompact and reliable Intelligent Power Modules (IPM). These modules are optimised for power converters and motor control within extreme environments, including aerospace, industrial, ground vehicles, automotive, and oil and gas.
Visual stimulation may be latest treatment for Alzheimer’s
Using LED lights flickering at a specific frequency, MIT researchers have shown that they can substantially reduce the beta amyloid plaques seen in Alzheimer’s disease, in the visual cortex of mice.This treatment appears to work by inducing brain waves known as gamma oscillations, which the researchers discovered help the brain suppress beta amyloid production and invigorate cells responsible for destroying the plaques.
Integrated solutions for power management at electronica 2016
ON Semiconductor has launched new intelligent power module (IPM) technologies for industrial power management and motor control applications.Reinforcing the company’s position as a leading supplier of IPMs, the company’s new STK57FU394AG-E (15A) and STK5MFU3C1A-E (30A) are advanced 600 V IPMs that integrate a power factor correction (PFC) converter, three-phase inverter output stage, pre-drive circuitry and protection in a single, com...
