It is often the case that when components are targeted at large currents and voltages the amount of applications that they can be used in shrinks.

STMicroelectronics has manufactured the first 200mm (8”)silicon carbide wafers for prototyping next-generation power devices from its facility in Norrköping, Sweden.

In industrial automation machinery, regenerative braking is a technique employing the existing structures and energy of electric motors (and their drives) along with dedicated subcomponents to slow, stop, and re-actuate axes. Rolf Horn of Digi-Key Electronics explains further.

UnitedSiC has expanded its FET portfolio with the introduction of six new 650V and 1,200V options, all housed in the industry standard D2PAK-7L surface mount package. Available in 30, 40, 80 and 150mΩ versions, these latest SiC FETs represent another step forward in accelerating migration to SiC across applications such as server and telecom power supplies, industrial battery chargers and power supplies, EV on-board chargers and DC/DC converter...

Optimised for isolated buck regulator designs, the STMicroelectronicsA6986IandL6986IDC/DC converter ICs have a wide input-voltage range and low quiescent current to ensure robust and energy-efficient operation in automotive and industrial applications up to five watts.

Rampant development and roll out of 5G technology around the globe will offer new growth prospects to GaN and SiC power semiconductor manufacturers. These semiconductors are known for providing small form factor and high-power density, hastening their adoption whilst telecom operators augment infrastructure development.

Electronic Specifier takes a look at the top power products to have been released in June.

As the transportation sector becomes electrified, many consumers remain conflicted about buying a new car that is fully an Electric Vehicle (EV). Whether warranted or based on misconceptions, concerns about EVs are slowing their adoption. Fortunately for automotive suppliers, and power electronics engineers, Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs) offer a 'bridge' technology to going totally electric.

ON Semiconductor has introduced new Superjunction (SJ) MOSFETs and SiC diodes as part of its activities during this year’s PCIM Europe Digital Event (3rd to 7th May, 2021).

ON Semiconductor has announced a dedicated critical conduction mode (CrM) totem pole PFC controller as a new addition to their solution set for ultra-high density offline power supplies.
