Microsemi announced its aerospace power core module (PCM) with an integrated field programmable gate array (FPGA) and hybrid power drive (HPD) stage. The PCM controls the electrical motors used in applications such as primary flight control actuation, landing gear systems and other systems. The device interfaces seamlessly with both aircraft power supplies and flight controllers, providing vital sensor feedback for health monitoring.

Progressive system-level design must be adopted, urges Guy Moxey, Wolfspeed, in order to capitalise on the advantages that silicon carbide (SiC) devices provide for power design

WEG, a leading global manufacturer of motor and drive technology, will showcase its latest automation technology at this year’s SPS IPC Drives (in Nuremberg, Germany, on 22nd to24th November).

Claimed to improve UPS, SMPS, solar and welding applications in terms of speed, efficiency and full-current capability for bi-directional use power electronics, Vincotech has launched the fastPACK 0 HC.

Silicon Labs has expanded its ISOdriver portfolio with a family of isolated gate drivers designed to protect sensitive Insulated-Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) switches in power inverter and motor drive applications. The new Si828x ISOdriver family provides industrial-grade isolation (5kVrms withstand), best-in-class feature integration including the following:

Switched-mode power supply (SMPS) topologies have led to advances in efficiency, thanks to continual tweaks and optimisations to circuit design, says Martin Brabham, Stadium Stontronics

An EPCOS DC link capacitor that has been specifically designed for the HybridPACK 1-DC6 IGBT module from Infineon Technologies has been presented byTDK Corporation. The outstanding features of this component are the six busbar terminals with dimensions that are matched precisely to fit the IGBT module. This multiple contacting produces an excellent current capability while at the same time offering very low parasitics.

A series of bare die IGBTs meet hybrid/plug-in hybrid, fuel-cell and battery-powered EV requirements, write Fabio Necco and Roy Davis, Fairchild Semiconductor

A series of low-input current drive, rail-to-rail output, gate-drive photocouplers has been introduced by Toshiba Electronics Europe.With threshold input current of 2mA (max), half the 4mA (max) of Toshiba’s existing products, these new photocouplers allow buffer-free direct drive of low- to medium-power IGBTs and MOSFETs from microcontrollers.

The launch of a new, deeply integrated Intelligent Power Module for 600V applications has been announced by Vincotech, a supplier of module-based solutions for power electronics.The flowIPM 1B CIP 600 V featuresthe powerful combination of a high-speed F5 IGBT with the switching performance of a MOSFET and a silicon carbide boost diode in the PFC circuit optimised for frequencies up to 150kHz.
