GaN - promise to reality
The next generation of power electronics is taking shape, argues Markus Behet, EpiGaN. The wide-bandgap compound semiconductor material is suited for switching devices that operate at high frequencies without suffering major losses.
180nm SOI technology targets automotive applications
X-FAB Silicon Foundries has announced the industry’s first cost-efficient 180nm SOI technology for automotive and industrial applications that need to operate in harsh environments. X-FAB’s suite of 40 and 60V high-voltage devices for its XT018 180nm SOI platform outperforms bulk CMOS technologies and provides cost savings of up to 30%.
Gate-drive transformers offer an insulation level of 3kV
Designed to control MOSFETs in automotive DC/DC power converters, the GDAU series of high insulation gate-drive transformers have been introduced by PREMO. The devices, which measure less than 8mm height, offer an insulation level of 3kV and a creepage distance greater than 5mm.
Debugging & visualisation tool range is enhanced
Concept Engineering has announced major enhancements to the entire Vision product line for designers of analogue, digital, mixed-signal circuits, SoCs and FPGAs.StarVision PRO, RTLvision PRO, GateVision PRO, and SpiceVision PRO are customisable and scriptable debugging and visualisation software tools that help electronic design engineers to easily understand, debug, optimise and document their designs.
Revolutionary memory technology
Intel and Micron Technology have unveiled 3D XPoint technology, a non-volatile memory that has the potential to revolutionise any device, application or service that benefits from fast access to large sets of data. Now in production, 3D XPoint technology is a major breakthrough in memory process technology and the first new memory category since the introduction of NAND flash in 1989.
New Generation Insertion Turbine Flowmeters
Titan Enterprise's innovative insertion turbine flowmeters combine proven robust technology with modern materials and design.
SiGe tech selected for next-gen mobile network transmission systems
STMicroelectronics has announced that the company's advanced BiCMOS55 SiGetechnology has been selected by the European E3NETWORK R&D initiative for developing energy-efficient, high-capacity transmission systems in next-gen mobile networks.Skyrocketing mobile-data usage requires networks to support greater capacity and higher data rates.
Nanoscale technique enables 'perfect' quantum dot junctions
Researchers have developed a method for growing ‘hybrid’ crystals at the nanoscale, in which quantum dots - essentially nanoscale semiconductors - of different materials can be sequentially incorporated into a host nanowire with perfect junctions between the components.An approach to self-assemble and tailor complex structures at the nanoscale opens opportunities to tailor properties and functionalities of materials for a wide range o...
Designing the next smart and lower-power applications
Dung Dang, Texas Instruments explains why Texas Instruments introduced the MSP432 MCU to address the power-saving issues while raising the bar for high performance on ultra-low-power MCUs.
Automotive high power comes in small packages
The automotive industry is no stranger to innovation, writes Steve Sheard, ON Semiconductor. This introduces drivers to new features and levels of comfort, but require innovation in the fundamental structure and make up of a car’s electrical and power systems.
