Silicon carbide on the road to automotive electrification
The automotive industry has long been focussing on the higher efficiency of the combustion engine and electrification of the drivetrain in hybrid and fully electric vehicles to meet CO2emission goals. Now we finally see a tipping point with a greater availability ofSiC (Silicon Carbide) chips that offer extremely low power losses and higher temperature resistance.
Discover design techniques at power supply webinar
At the Applied Power Electronics Conference - APEC 2017 - and the Power Conversion and Intelligent Motion conference - PCIM Europe 2017 - visitors saw the strides made by researchers and manufacturers alike. Beyond all the technical papers, podium discussions and roundtables, on the exhibition floors attendees were treated to scores of examples of customer systems that achieve previously unattainable efficiencies and power density levels.
1,200V SiC Schottky diodes offer low switching losses
The first GEN2 Series of 1,200V Silicon Carbide (SiC) Schottky diodes has been introduced byLittelfuse, in conjunction with the start of the PCIM Europe 2017 Exhibition. These SiC diodes are the first in a series of products based on the technology platform created through a partnership with Monolith Semiconductor. Additional silicon carbide products based on the technology platform, including 1,200V SiC MOSFETs, are already in the pipeline and a...
When it comes to power, everybody wants more
Whether it’s the proliferation of processing intensive, AC-powered cloud technology in data centres or other demanding applications like the latest power hungry electric vehicles - everybody likes more. More power. More performance. More efficiency. More density.
Input protection for switched mode inverters and converters
These days, a typical specification for a power converter starts with a list of international standards that must be met for EMC and safety compliance. The requirements for functional performance are often many pages into the document.
ROHM showcases expanded range of power devices at PCIM 2017
ROHM Semiconductor will debut its latest power product designs atPCIM, the leading trade fair for Power Electronics, Intelligent Motion and Energy Management in Nuremberg, from May 16 – 18, 2017 (Hall 9, Booth 316).Energy savings and reduced system costs in all kinds of systems are heavily influenced by choosing the right power device.
