SiC & GaN power technologies to grow 30% annually
Used to convert and manage electricity in devices from mobile phones to pumps and motors, power electronics will be worth $23bn for discrete components in 2024. According to Lux Research, silicon-based devices will remain the main technology of choice, but SiC and GaN will be the fastest-growing at 30 and 32% annual rates, respectively, gaining a combined 13% share in 2024.
Polyoxometalates could solve flash memory conundrum
Flash memory is a popular form of electronic data storage commonly used in devices such as smartphones, cameras and memory sticks. However, there is a physical limit to the minimum size of the current design of data cells, which currently use metal-oxide-semiconductor components.
Electrolube debut coatings & resins at electronica 2014
At electronica 2014, last week, Electrolube exhibited for the first time. In Hall A6, which was dedicated to the automotive sector, the company presented its conformal coatings, resins and contact lubricant products. Hall B1 was dedicated to sensors, micro- and nano-systems, MEMS technologies and electromechanical/system peripherals, whereElectrolube demonstrated its capabilities in thermal management.
GaN to become core technology in power electronics
According to GaN Systems, GaN will become the core technology in power electronics within the next three years. Founded seven years ago, GaN Systems has developed a wide range range of GaN, high power transistors based on its Island Technology design.
PFM-only DC/DC converter operates from just 0.5µA
In A6.280 at electronica 2014, Torex Semiconductor will present the company's first PFM-only step-down DC/DC converter that has been specifically developed for ultra-low power applications. The XC9265 series consumes just 0.5µA during operation and is therefore suitable for applications that run from batteries for long periods of time.
Low power TV tuners claimed to be world's smallest
