TRENCHSTOP IGBTs deliver higher level of controllability
The 7th generation of TRENCHSTOP IGBTs from Infineon is especially designed for variable speed drives. They are in stock at distributor Digi-Key.
1,500V power module doubles as solar and storage use
It is often the case that when components are targeted at large currents and voltages the amount of applications that they can be used in shrinks.
Regenerative braking on motor driven axes
In industrial automation machinery, regenerative braking is a technique employing the existing structures and energy of electric motors (and their drives) along with dedicated subcomponents to slow, stop, and re-actuate axes. Rolf Horn of Digi-Key Electronics explains further.
Small IGBT and IPM drivers for industrial applications
Renesas Electronics hasexpanded its family of 8.2mm creepage photocouplers with three new devices designed for operation in harsh industrial automation equipment, solar inverter, and EV charger operating environments. Measuring a mere 2.5x2.1mm in an LSSO5 package, the world’s smallest optical isolated IGBT drivers and Intelligent Power Module (IPM) driver reduce PCB mounting areas by up to 35% compared with other devices on the market.
Hybrid IGBTs with built-in SiC diode
ROHM has developed Hybrid IGBTs with integrated 650V SiC Schottky barrier diode, the RGWxx65C series (RGW60TS65CHR, RGW80TS65CHR, RGW00TS65CHR). The devices are qualified under the AEC-Q101 automotive reliability standard.
22kW design for an industrial general purpose motor drive
In power electronics and the semiconductor market, the system approach is gaining momentum. To support this trend, Infineon has introduced a pretested industrial reference design which reduces the time to market significantly.
600V IGBT IPMs deliver low noise with low loss
ROHM developed four new 600V IGBT Intelligent Power Modules (IPMs) of its BM6437x series that deliver low noise characteristics together with low loss for power conversion in inverters. The devices are used in compact industrial equipment, such as small capacity motors for robots, as well as home appliances – including air conditioners and washing machines.
Semiconductor testing at very low currents
The Łukasiewicz Research Network - Institute of Microelectronics and Photonics has chosen to use measurement instrumentation from Tektronix and Keithley to investigate the current and voltage characteristics of wide-bandgap semiconductors.
Aerospace-qualified baseless power module family
In the race to reduce aircraft emissions, developers increasingly are moving toward more efficient designs including electrical systems that replace today’s pneumatics and hydraulics powering everything from on-board alternators to actuators and Auxiliary Power Units (APUs). To enable next-generation aircraft electrical systems, new power conversion technology is required. Microchip Technology hasannounced its development with Clean Sky, a ...
Why GaN is critical to powering 5G infrastructure
GaN brings efficiency advantages compared with silicon, say Giuseppe Bernacchia, senior principal application engineer and Moshe Domb, director application engineering at Infineon Technologies
