Ethernet timing features improve automotive design
To strenghthen and improve timing design and verification for automotive Ethernet and multicore systems, Symtavision has launched SymTA/S 3.7. It introduces new Ethernet timing design and verification features including the modeling and analysis of dynamic data chains and data dependent dynamic Ethernet frame packing. It also has faster system distribution analysis compared to previous versions.
APEC to host “wide bandgap semiconductors in power electronics” debate
GaN Systems is participating in what promises to be a lively debate on one of the hottest topics at APEC 2015. Wide Bandgap Semiconductor devices in Power Electronics – Who, What, Where, When and Why?will be hosted and led by Kevin Parmeter, Vice President of Applications, Excelsys, and will see panellists from device manufacturers joining power electronics design engineers to air their views.
Cree announces large signal model accuracy
Cree has released an application note describing the accuracy of its large signal models for RF power transistors, which allow RF design engineers to reduce PA design iterations, design time and development costs.
Ferrite material experiences low losses at high frequencies
Characterised by low losses at high frequencies, the N59 ferrite material has been introduced by TDK. The material was developed specifically for power supplies and frequency converters that operate with fast-switching power semiconductors on a GaN basis. Optimised for a frequency range from 700kHz to 2MHz, the ferrite material reaches its maximum transmissible power at a switching frequency of 2MHz and an operating temperature of 100°C. The ...
GaN platforms are enhancement mode & cascode configured
Infineon Technologies has announced the expansion of its Gallium Nitride (GaN)-on-Silicon technology and product portfolio. The company now offers both enhancement mode and cascode configuration GaN-based platforms optimised for high performance applications requiring superior levels of energy efficiency including Switch Mode Power Supplies (SMPS) used in servers and telecomms, and consumer goods such as Class D Audio systems. GaN technology sign...
600V GaN transistor is 'industry's first' in TO-247 package
From APEC 2015, Transphorm has announced that it is now offering engineering samples of its TPH3205WS transistor, the first 600V GaN transistor in an TO-247 package. Offering resistance of 63 mΩ and 34A ratings, the device utilises the company’s Quiet Tab source-tab connection design, which reduces EMI at high dv/dt to enable low switching loss and high-speed operation in power supply and inverter applications.
600V GaN cascode transistors provide efficiency & power density
ON Semiconductorand Transphorm have announced theNTP8G202N(TPH3202PS) andNTP8G206N (TPH3206PS) 600V GaN cascode transistors and a 240W reference design that utilises them.With typical RDS(ON)values of 150 and 290mΩ, the products are offered in a TO-220 package for easy integration with existing PCB manufacturing capabilities.Both products have been qualified to JEDEC standards and are in mass production.
