Design support offered for industry’s lowest loss switches
GeneSiC Semiconductor announces the availability of Gate Driver evaluation board and has expanded its design support for what it calls thethe industry’s lowest loss switches, the SiC Junction Transistor (SJT), with a fully-qualified LTSPICE IV model.Using the Gate Driver Board, power conversion circuit designers can verify the benefits of sub-15ns, temperature independent switching characteristics of SiC Junction Transistors, with low drive...
Printed electronics could realise IoT 'omni-connectivity'
Printed electronics is opening unimagined technical and design possibilities in many sectors of industry, such as flexible solar cells, interactive medication packaging and curved displays in automobile cockpits. At the beginning of March 2015, specialists from around the world will meet at LOPEC in Munich to present developments and discuss latest trends.
Processor replication with IP rights eliminates errata
Rochester Electronics offers replication of processors through its Semiconductor Replication Process (SRP). There are several companies within the semiconductor industry selling their emulated versions of popular processors originally produced by Freescale and Intel. Because Rochester receives processor IP from the original manufacturer, there is no need to emulate.
Ultra-thin NFC tags set to revolutionise card gaming
Holst Centre, set up by imec, TNO and Cartamundi, have announced a collaboration to develop ultra-thin flexible NFC tags using metal-oxide (IGZO) Thin-Film Transistor (TFT) technology on plastic film. The flexible chips will be integrated into game cards as a part of Cartamundi’s larger strategy of developing game cards for the connected generation.
RF power transistor features 20:1 load-mismatch capability
Designed for high-output class-E industrial power supplies, the STAC250V2-500E 13.6MHz RF power transistor has been released by STMicroelectronics.Providing enhanced safety up to 600W, the device has 20:1 load-mismatch capability, which is claimed to be the highest in the industry.Enabling compact power supplies above 1kW, two STAC250V2-500E transistors used together occupy a similar area to that of a single ceramic transistor.
Transistor output photocoupler offers high isolation
Suitable for applications including inverter interfaces and general-purpose power supplies, a transistor output photocoupler has been introduced by Toshiba Electronics Europe. TheTLP385 offers a high isolation performance, guaranteeing a minimum isolation voltage of 5kVrms.
