Efficient automated vacuum pressure soldering system
Total process solutions provider for advanced photonics, Palomar Technologies, has announced that SST Vacuum Reflow Systems, has launched the SST 8300 Series Automated Vacuum Pressure Soldering System. The series, consisting of single and triple chamber systems provides a reliable solder connection with a better than industry standard void rate, a key to delivering high-reliability power modules for automotive and commercial applications.
Range of power devices expanded to offer complete solutions
At PCIM in Nuremberg, Germany (7th-9th May, 2019), ROHM Semiconductor will showcase power semiconductor solutions focused on E-mobility and power supply applications. Energy savings and reduced system costs in all kinds of systems are heavily influenced by choosing the right power device.
Power module designed for compact and scalable inverter designs
Infineon Technologies extents its large portfolio of high voltage devices with a new package: XHP 3. This is a new flexible IGBT module platform for high power applications in the voltage range from 3,3kV up to 6,5kV. The module allows for scalable designs with reliability and highest power density. Due to its symmetrical design with low stray inductance it offers significantly improved switching behaviour.
Greater system reliability in electric vehicles enabled
Fully tested reference designs for battery management and traction inverter systems, have been introduced by Texas Instruments, along with new analog circuits with advanced monitoring and protection features to help reduce carbon dioxide emissions and enable hybrid electric vehicles and electric vehicles (HEV/EVs) to drive farther and longer.
Three-phase inverter module IPM offers high power density
A new member has been added to the growing family of intelligent power modules (IPMs): CIPOS Tiny from Infineon Technologies. The three-phase inverter module is the newest generation of IPM to offer the highest power density for variable speed motor drives. By using the latest TRENCHSTOP IGBT6, it is possible to realise maximum efficiency with minimum footprint.
Highest current rated GaN power semiconductors at PCIM 2019
GaN Systemswill demonstrate the650V, 150A GaN power transistor- according to the company it is the industry’s highest current 650V GaN power transistor-atPCIM Europein Nuremberg, Germany on 7th-9th May, 2019 at Booth 9-507. TheGS-065-150device has 100 times lower switching losses than comparable IGBTs - that’s two orders of magnitude less, a 99% reduction in switching losses.
New 3-phase gate drive solution boots switching speeds
Pre-Switch, a Silicon Valley start-up that emerged from stealth mode last year, has expanded its revolutionary soft-switching IGBT and silicon carbide gate driver architecture to cover 3-phase power systems. The platform, including the Pre-Drive3 controller board, powered by the Pre-Flex FPGA, and RPG gate driver board, enables a doubling of power output for a typical inverter, or an increase in switching speed by a factor of up to 20 times.
SiC switches in motor drive applications
Patrick Baginski, Vincotech, takes a closer look at the benefits, impacts and limitations of SiC switches to the induction motor
SiC FETs get closer to the ideal switch
The SiC FET in a ‘cascode configuration comes closer to the ideal power switch, believes Dr Anup Bhalla, VP engineering at UnitedSiC
Paving the way for power management
As our world becomes increasingly reliant on technology, the demand for power will only continue to increase. Following a vibrant APEC 2019, held in California in March, Electronic Specifier Editor Joe Bush caught up with Anoop Chadaga, Product Marketing Manager, Texas Instruments, to find out what the company’s focus was at the show.
