Full-SiC-module suits PV inverters, UPS & charging systems
Higher efficiency, increased power density, smaller footprints and reduced system costs: these are the main advantages of transistors based on SiC. Infineon Technologies is starting volume production for the Easy 1B, the first full-SiC module announced during PCIM 2016. At PCIM 2017, the company showcased additional module platforms and topologies for the 1200V CoolSiC MOSFET family. Infineon is now able to bring the potential of SiC technology t...
IPM combines boost PFC stage & 3 phase inverter
Infineon has introduced the CIPOS Mini, featuring power factor correction (PFC). The intelligent power module (IPM) combines a single switch boost PFC stage and a 3 phase inverter in one package. With the PFC integrated into the inverter module, the integrated CIPOS Mini IPM helps to reduce system size and the bill of material. Moreover, the additional PCB space gives room for further components.
DC electronic loads offer advanced programmability
The DL3000 Series 200W/350W Programmable DC Electronic Loads from Rigol are available at Saelig. The single output 150V 40A/60A units have a user-friendly interface and are useful for simulating a variety of load conditions for both equipment and components. A 4.3in. colour TFT LCD clearly shows multiple instrument parameters and conditions simultaneously.
IGBT gate drivers reduce discrete components count
SCALE-2 IGBT gate drivers from Power Integrations are in stock at Mouser Electronics. These flexible insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) gate driver cores integrate commonly required driver functions — including galvanic isolation, protection, and DC/DC conversion — in a single module.
Panasonic shrinks thermal material thickness
PCIM Europe 2017: Soft-PGS, the compressible thermal interface material (TIM) from Panasonic reduces contact thermal resistance between rough surfaces in extremely thin spaces.
Keeping the noise down: Converter and inverter output filtering
Most modern power conversion topologies use switched-mode techniques for highest efficiency and smallest size and cost. Inevitably, switching noise is produced and output filters are required to minimise EMI and provide reliable operation of the power converter and load. This article looks at the effects of noise and some of the filtering techniques that can be used.
1,200V SiC Schottky diodes introduced at PCIM 2017
Littelfuse has concluded their programme for the PCIM (Power Conversion and Intelligent Motion) Europe 2017 Exhibition. The highlight of this year’s exhibition was the introduction of the GEN2 Series of 1200V SiC Schottky Diodes featuring near-zero recovery time and low forward voltage for higher system efficiency. Samples are now available upon request via links on the SiC Schottky Diodes new products page.
