The changing technology of DC/DC converter design and manufacture
Changes in DC/DC converter technology have introduced new materials, digital control and smaller form factors, explains Lars Foerster, DC/DC business development manager, EMEA, TDK-Lambda
6.6-kW three-phase, three-level ANPC inverter/PFC bidirectional power stage reference design
This reference design provides a design template for implementing a three-level, three-phase, silicon carbide/gallium nitride (SiC/GaN) based ANPC inverter power stage. The use of fast-switching power devices makes it possible to switch at a higher frequency of 100 kHz, reducing the size of magnetics for the filter and increasing the power density of the power stage. The multilevel topology allows the use of 600-V rated power devices at higher DC...
Mobile eyes and ears on modern battlefields
The advancement of military technology in the past 20 years has reshaped the battlefield. From unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for aerial surveillance and air strikes to unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) for remote reconnaissance, modern warfare is seemingly shifting from primarily ‘boots on the ground’ operations to battlefields being dominated remotely. Here, Martin Frederiksen, Managing Director of land defence embedded system specia...
How piezoceramics are revolutionising medical diagnostics and treatment
Piezo technology has recently become immensely popular in a variety of different areas, including chemistry, biology and medicine. It is being used to improve existing procedures like laparoscopies or endoscopic imaging, and is an enabling technology for non-contact ablation to treat atrial fibrillation. In vitro diagnostics (IVD) workflows to detect diseases are also greatly benefitting from the incorporation of piezoceramics, enabling accurate ...
