Half-bridge reference design enables rapid prototyping
A universal half-bridge reference design has been announced by RECOM. It is a platform design that can be used to compare the real life performance of various high power IGBT, 1st/2nd generation SiC, GaN, MOSFET and Cascode switching technologies. As the gate driver and PCB layout is the same for every transistor type, users will be able to compare and contrast their real life switching performance and make informed choices about the right techno...
SiC schottky diodes reduce switching losses
Four new series of1,200V Silicon Carbide (SiC) Schottky Diodes have been introduced by Littelfuse. They diodes are fromthe company's GEN2 product family, which was originally released in May 2017.
MOSFET has higher power density for computing
Alpha and Omega Semiconductor claims that its new generation of XSPairFET sets a new industry standard for high power density applications. The AONE36132 is available in a DFN 3.3 x 3.3mm package.
Resistance values drive capacitors to automotive applications
The EEH-ZAandEEH-ZC series ofhybrid capacitors from Panasonic Automotive & Industrial Systems Europe are available at Conrad Business Supplies.
