DAC 2014 presentation to focus on 28nm SoC design
Delegates at the 2014 Design Automation Conference (DAC) will be able to share in the IC expertise of Sondrel, due to the company planning to give a presentation on28nm SoC. The company's representative,Gianvito Lorusso, will ead the presentation and give an insight intohis team’s experience with a six billion transistor design for a 28nm SoC.
New graphene-type material created
Scientists at the University of Liverpool have created a new material, related to graphene, which has the potential to improve transistors used in electronic devices. The material, ‘triazine-based graphitic carbon nitride’, or TGCN, was predicted theoretically in 1996, but this is the first time that it has been made.
Power device analyser measures many parameters
Agilent Technologies has unveiled the industry’s first power device analyser for circuit design. The Agilent B5106A is a single-box solution that automatically characterises all power device parameters across a wide range of operating conditions and temperatures (-50°C to +250°C), at up to 1500A and3 kV.
FET technology reduces EMI and boosts efficiency
PCIM 2014: Targeting small motors, i.e. under 100W, the integrated FSB70xxx modules deliver up to 44% better light-load efficiency, compared with the leading competitive device, claims Fairchild Semiconductor. The level of integration and inclusion of the company’s FRFET (Fast Recovery Field Effect Transistor) also increases thermal efficiency to 12%, due to the improved junction to case formation.
PCIM 2014: Transphorm, HY-Line Ink Central Europe Pact
HY-LINE Power Components has signed a distribution agreement with Transphorm to stock and distribute its family of 600 Volt GaN high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) in Central Europe. The deal was unveiled during the PCIM exhibition in Nuremberg. HY-Line’s technical expertise will support the growing demand for JEDEC-qualified 600 Volt GaN products that have now grown to the level requiring an expanding sales channel to respond to op...
PCIM 2014:N-channel MOSFETs target server applications
ON Semiconductor announced a new family of six N-channel Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistors (MOSFETs). The NTMFS4Hxxx and NTTFS4Hxxx series of MOSFETs are ideally suited as switching devices for a wide range of applications including server and networking equipment and high power density DC-DC converters, or to support synchronous rectification in point-of-load (PoL) modules.
IPMs shrink & simplify appliance motor drive design
Designed to shrink and simplifythe development of appliance motor drive applications, International Rectifier has launched a Gen2family of IRAM System-In-Package (SIP) IPMs. The IRAM SiP1A Gen2 modules are targeted atmotor drive applications such as air conditioners, fans, compressors and washing machines.
LED driver IC allows CC control to detect operation mode
PCIM 2014: With a high, universal input range to suit consumer and enterprise use around the globe, the LYTSwitch-2 LED driver IC from Power Integrations is based around a monolithic silicon transistor, operating at 725V. The IC delivers up to 12W of controlled output power and reduces component count to just 23, for smaller, more reliable LED lighting design.
