MOSFET driver features high peak output current of 2.5A
A 2.5A IGBT and MOSFET driver has been announced by Vishay Intertechnology. Available in DIP-8 and SMD-8 packages, the Vishay Semiconductors VOD3120A features low voltage drop on its output at a low current consumption of 3.5mA to increase efficiency in inverter stages.
High-voltage galvanic isolation technology
Analog/mixed-signal and specialty foundry, X-FAB Silicon Foundries, has announced the full volume production release of its new high temperature galvanic isolation semiconductor process. This proprietary technology is fully automotive qualified, and offers greater reliability levels compared to options offered by the competition.
Bipolar transistors enable higher power density
Global manufacturer and supplier of products within the broad discrete, logic, analog and mixed-signal semiconductor markets, Diodes Incorporated, has announced a family of NPN and PNP power bipolar transistors in a small form factor offering increased power density for applications requiring up to 100V and three amps.
Thermal protection reference design for HEV/EV traction inverters
The TIDA-00794 reference design from Texas Instruments is a temp sensing solution for IGBT thermal protection in HEV/EV traction inverter system. It monitors the IGBT temperature via the NTC thermistor integrated inside the IGBT module. It provides thermal shut down to the IGBT gate drivers once the NTC thermistor temperature rises above the programmed threshold.
MOSFET power modules for energy storage applications
Addressing the fast growing demand for Silicon Carbide (SiC) solutions, Infineon Technologies launches new devices in the 1200V CoolSiC MOSFET family. The CoolSiC Easy 2B power modules enable engineers to reduce system costs by increasing power density. In addition, they can also reportedly lower operational costs significantly.

Connector solutions designed for easy handling in rail industry
HARTING has introduced a number of innovative connector solutions and products targeted at the rail industry and focusing on the three key benefits of weight reduction, easy handling and increasing data throughput.
Driving forward the vehicles of tomorrow
Electronic systems constituted as little as one percent of the total value in the cars of the past. Now, increased technological capabilities and consumer demand for more technology in vehicles have caused a surge in the number of electronic control units (ECUs) in a vehicle. A highly engineered automobile may contain as many as 100 ECUs and up to 100 million lines of code - a far cry of the vehicles of the past and a testament to how important E...
Isolated IGBT gate-drive power supply reference design
This reference design from Texas Instruments provides isolated positive and negative voltage rails for Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) gate drivers from 24V DC input supply. It uses a flyback power supply topology to generate four pairs of 15-V and –5-V outputs suitable for powering six IGBT gate drivers of one watt each.
What is driving the power electronics industry?
Enabling megatrends, the power electronics market has grown tremendously last year. Yole Développement (Yole) has discovered a $32.7bn power electronics market in 2017 in its report, ‘Status of the Power Electronics Industry’ published last summer.
