The overall inverter market in 2015 exceeded US$ 47 billion driven by many market segments including EV/HEV, PV inverters, rail traction, wind turbines and more. “With an impressive 6% CAGR until 2021 , the power converter is clearly driving the power passive components market”, announces the “More than Moore” market research and strategy consulting company, Yole Développement (Yole).

ROHM Semiconductor presented its cutting-edge silicon carbide (SiC) technology at the first race of the new 2016/2017 Formula E season in Hong Kong. At the start of season three, the leading Japanese semiconductor manufacturer started sponsoring and officially partnering with the Venturi Formula E team. The exciting collaboration between ROHM and Venturi in Formula E highlights the key to success in the all-electric racing series – power ma...

An alternative to blue enhanced Si PIN diodes is offerred from SiC, since they are naturally ‘blind’ in the deep UV and visible, offering a good response between 200nm and 400nm.SiC is also more resistant to damage when exposed to harsh UV radiation compared to Si photodiodes.

Advancing semiconductor technology, X-FAB Silicon Foundries has reached another important milestone in the establishing of the world’s first semiconductor foundry to support 6-inch silicon carbide (SiC) production. The company, in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the PowerAmerica Institute, has just deployed a high temperature implanter at its facility in Lubbock, Texas.

A Transponder Safety Switch has been launched by SICK to use non-contact RFID technology which provides reliable and tamper-proof personnel protection on removable guards to PLe/SIL3, with easy installation and safety system integration. The SICK STR1 can be installed individually or in series with up to 30 units, using T-junctions or the SICK Flexi Loop safety sensor cascade whilst still achieving PLe (EN ISO 13849) and SIL3 (IEC62061).

The 2016 ECN IMPACT Award was presented to Wolfspeed in the passive components and discrete semiconductors category for its CAS325M12HM2 high performance, 1200V, 325A, 62mm SiC half-bridge module.

Researchers at North Carolina State University have created a high voltage and high frequency silicon carbide (SiC) power switch that could cost much less than similarly rated SiC power switches. The findings could lead to early applications in the power industry, especially in power converters like medium voltage drives, solid state transformers and high voltage transmissions and circuit breakers.

A version ofMentor Graphics Corporation's frontloading Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) FloEFD product targeting complex design challenges has been announced. Frontloading CFD refers to the practice of moving CFD simulation early into the design process, enabling design engineers to examine and evaluate design options, resulting in optimised product performance and reliability.

Microsemi announced its aerospace power core module (PCM) with an integrated field programmable gate array (FPGA) and hybrid power drive (HPD) stage. The PCM controls the electrical motors used in applications such as primary flight control actuation, landing gear systems and other systems. The device interfaces seamlessly with both aircraft power supplies and flight controllers, providing vital sensor feedback for health monitoring.

Due to take place at the ArenaMK in Milton Keynes on 27th April 2017, the UK Industrial Vision Association (UKIVA) has developed a brand new event for the imaging industry in the UK.
