The increasing popularity of GaN solutions in power electronics has prompted many companies to rethink the way they build their power systems. In the last few years, GaN has proven to be reliable and pushing the boundaries in smaller, lighter, and more efficient power systems in data centers, automobiles, consumer electronics, renewable energy systems, and factories.

CEA-Leti and Dolphin Design have developed an adaptive back-biasing (ABB) architecture for FD-SOI chips that can be seamlessly integrated in the digital design flow with industrial-grade qualification, overcoming integration drawbacks of existing ABB techniques.

If the drive of the automotive industry towards electrification was ever in doubt, a further nail in the coffin of the internal combustion engine (ICE) was hammered home recently with the announcement from Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) that the company will be 100% electric by 2025. Kannan Soundarapandian, Business Unit Manager, Motor Drives, Texas Instruments (TI), looks at howmotor drive systems are propelling this paradigm shift.

Though 5G mobile communications trials are now well underway, due to the scale of investment required, most industry commentators expect full network roll-outs to be several years away. Mouser’s Mark Patrick explains the role of Fixed Wireless Access (FWA).

Cambridge GaN Devices (CGD) has raised $9.5m in Series A funding. The investment was co-led by IQ Capital, Parkwalk Advisors and BGF, and includes investment from Foresight Williams, Cambridge Enterprise, Martlet Capital, Cambridge Angels and Cambridge Capital Group. The funding will be used by CGD to expand its product portfolio of energy efficient power devices and to double the size of its team.

Given the exciting properties, graphene has always been linked as a revolutionary material for the electronics industry. CVD graphene is cited as the ideal solution in providing a perfect single layer produced in a low cost continuous R2R process, but the manufacturing and commercial reality have proved very different. After a long period of research, and with players regularly exiting and entering the field, we are only now starting to see this ...

Printing solar panels like newsprint using organic semiconductors is the longstanding aspiration, given the obvious benefits of renewable energy and the potential for low-cost, large-area, energy-efficient production. However, despite attempts by Konarka and others, commercialising organic photovoltaic (OPV) panels has previously proved challenging.

CEA-Leti presented two papers this week at IEDM 2020 that confirm the advantages of combining 3D architectures and resistive-random-access-memories (RRAM) for in-memory computing (IMC), and their applications for Edge-AI and neural networks.

The performance of GaN devices in 48V applications extends their use to high performance servers.

GaN chargers are now the norm.GaN Systems hasannounced that the Philips SPS2316G/93, a 2C1A 65W GaN charger, features GaN Systems power transistors. This novel charger includes three AC outlets and three USB ports eliminating the need for multiple chargers.
