Tokyo Tech researchers demonstrate operation energy-savings in a low price silicon power transistor structure by scaling down in all three dimensions.In electronics, lower power consumption leads to operation cost savings, environmental benefits and the convenience advantages from longer running devices. While progress in energy efficiencies has been reported with alternative materials such as SiC and GaN, energy-savings in the standard inexpensi...

The MGJ6HB (dual), MGJ6FB (triple), and MGJ63P (quad) DC/DC converters from Murata Power Solutions save space and cost while simultaneously powering high-side and low-side gate drive circuits for IGBTs, and Si/SiC MOSFETs in bridge circuits.

At Nepcon 2017 (18-20 January 2017) in Tokyo, AT&S will be presenting technologies as a response to current challenges in telecommunication, automotive electronics, wearables and medical electronics. Advancing miniaturisation, high data rates and/or high frequencies, power electronics with increasing current densities and rising thermal problems, as well as optimised production processes are the challenges that modern applications face.

Induction cooking appliances commonly make use of resonant topologies which allow bidirectional current flow. Additionally they demand adiscrete IGBTthat performs best at switching frequencies from 18 to 40kHz and has low losses. Infineon has launched a family of discrete IGBTs to address these needs. The RC-E devices are cost optimised and specifically meet the demands of low- to mid-price rangeinduction cookersandinduction rice cookers.

Any item of equipment that incorporates high voltage control components and a user interface has to be designed with safety clearly in mind in order to protect users from electric shock. Shaun Milano of Allegro MicroSystems explains.

ON Semiconductor has launched new intelligent power module (IPM) technologies for industrial power management and motor control applications.Reinforcing the company’s position as a leading supplier of IPMs, the company’s new STK57FU394AG-E (15A) and STK5MFU3C1A-E (30A) are advanced 600 V IPMs that integrate a power factor correction (PFC) converter, three-phase inverter output stage, pre-drive circuitry and protection in a single, com...

Broadcom Limited announced a new family of 5A and 3A gate drive optocoupler devices, the Avago ACNU-3430 and ACNU-3410, respectively. The devices are the first 5A and 3A gate drive optocouplers offered in the 11mm SSO-8 package for high voltage, space constrained industrial applications including 600VAC motor drives and 1kVDC solar inverters.

The 2016 ECN IMPACT Award was presented to Wolfspeed in the passive components and discrete semiconductors category for its CAS325M12HM2 high performance, 1200V, 325A, 62mm SiC half-bridge module.

In the form of a brake chopper, incorporated into the device, many drives manufacturers actually design and build their products with a seventh Insulated-Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT).Global Business Development Manager of Maintenance and Repair Specialist at CP Automation, John Mitchell is going to look at the dangers of taking the IGBT for granted.
