Acomprehensive through-hole series of 650V silicon carbide (SiC) power schottky rectifiers has been announced bySMC Diode Solutions.The high voltage series boast industry silicon carbide technology, which provides very low total conduction losses and very stables switching characteristics over temperature extremes.

The latest development in textiles andfibres is a kind of soft hardware that you can wear: cloth that has electronic devices built right into it.Researchers at MIT have now embedded high speed optoelectronic semiconductor devices, including light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and diode photodetectors, within fibres that were then woven at Inman Mills, in South Carolina, into soft, washable fabrics and made into communication systems.

Distributors continue to help cushion customers from the effects of components shortages, though there are signs of a softening market.Addressing analysts on a call hosted by seeking alpha.com, Arrow Electronics CEO Michael Long indicated that while it’s global components business leading indicators remained healthy and its backlog continued to grow at robust rate, the rate of sequential year-over-year growth moderated.

X-FAB Silicon Foundries has announced plans to double their 6" Silicon Carbide (SiC) process capacity at its fab in Lubbock, Texas in response to increased customer demand for high efficiency power semiconductor devices.

At this year's PCI-SIG developers conference in Santa Clara, Diodes Incorporated announced a new line of signal switches, clock generators and clock buffers for PCI Express (PCIe) 4.0 technology applications.

Silicon Carbide (SiC) and Gallium Nitride (GaN) semiconductor technologies are promising great things for the future. SiC devices in a cascode configuration enable existing systems to be easily upgraded to get the benefits of wide band-gap devices right now. By: Anup Bhalla, VP Engineering, UnitedSic.

Littelfuse has introduced an expanded portfolio of silicon carbide (SiC) power semiconductor devices with the addition of five GEN2 Series 1200V, 3L TO-247 Schottky Diodes and three GEN2 Series 1200V, 2L TO-263 Schottky Diodes. When compared with silicon devices, GEN2 SiC Schottky Diodes reduce switching losses and allow for increases in the efficiency and robustness of power electronics systems. The product introduction was made during the PCIM ...

Nexperia hasannounced that it has optimised its TrEOS ESD protection diode series for use with USB Type-C interfaces. The new USB3.2 standard introduces an optional capacitor at the Rx inputs, so Nexperia is now launching two groups of devices, one that delivers extremely high surge robustness for positioning between the connector and capacitor, and a second that has an extremely low trigger voltage for placement between capacitor and the system ...

At this year's PCIM in Nuremburg, Germany, ON Semiconductor has announced an expansion of its Silicon Carbide (SiC) Schottky diode portfolio to include devices intended for demanding automotive applications.

Reverse polarity is standard protection required in an automotive environment. When battery cables are detached and reconnected there is a probability of connecting the wires to wrong terminals of the battery. This mistake could damage the components in Electronic Control Units (ECU). To avoid damage to the ECU there is a need for reverse polarity protection. Schotky diodes could be used but will have a constantly high power loss.
