The GaN and SiC Power Semiconductor Market is set to grow from its current market value of more than $400m to over $3bn by 2025; as reported in the latest study byGlobal Market Insights.The expanding prominence of EVs can be aptly credited for the proliferation of GaN and SiC power semiconductor market trends. Even though automakers are introducing EVs, their short driving range has dented their growth prospects, commanding the requirement of enh...

ROHM has announced the availability of six new trench gate structure SiC MOSFETs (650V/1200V), the SCT3xxx xR-Series, well suited for server power supplies, UPS systems, solar power inverters, and EV charging stations requiring high efficiency. The SCT3xxx xR series utilises a four-pin package (TO-247-4L) that maximises switching performance.

Availability and full design support capabilities for a new family of 1200V SiC power MOSFETs from Wolfspeed has been announced by distributor Richardson RFPD. Based on third-generation planar MOSFET technology, the new devices include a rugged intrinsic body diode that allows for third-quadrant operation without the need for an additional external diode.

SICK has extended its Sensor Integration Machine (SIM) family with the launch of two high-performance, one-box, processing hubs that fuse decentralised, multi-sensor co-operation with field-to-cloud connectivity as part of Industry 4.0.SICK SIM1000 and SIM2000 Sensor Integration Machines are programmable sensor connection and data processing hubs that open up new possibilities to develop custom applications in SICK’s AppSpace ecosystem.

WITH the launch of its G2 Flat family of photoelectric sensors, SICK has shrunk outstanding performance into a miniature format. The ultra-thin sensors are designed to integrate snugly into small machinery and conveyors, or for tight fits in robotic arms and grippers.Starting at just 3.5mm thick, the SICK G2 Flat family of proximity and through-beam sensors achieve highly-reliable detection of objects of almost any size, thanks to the unrivalled ...

Fearsome, lethal, killers … the reputation of the tiger shark has long haunted our culture, leading to these creatures being miscast as villains of the seas. Immotion’s new VR experience, Shark Dive, sheds a revealing light on the personality and habits of these wonderous animals, allowing people to get closer to them than ever before, and understanding their strategic place as an apex predator in a fragile ecosystem.

The rapidly ageing population is bringing new challenges to European society. Care institutions and hospitals are facing serious staffing shortages, as fewer and fewer people choose to become healthcare professionals, while at the same time the number of old (and sick) people is constantly on the rise. Heavy work pressure has proven to be related to poor quality of care and to incidents such as medication errors, which 13.8% of nurses deal with w...

A fifth (18%) of engineers are holding down more than one temporary role to chase greater work-life balance and see more of their families, according to new research.The research, carried out by recruitment experts Reed Specialist Recruitment asked 5,000 UK employees about their experience of, and attitude to, temporary and contract working.

Silicon carbide (SiC) is en route to mainstream for applications like photovoltaic and uninterruptable power supplies. Infineon Technologies is now targeting the next group of applications for this wide bandgap technology: the evaluation board EVAL-M5-E1B1245N-SiC aims to help to pave the way for SiC in motor drives and help strengthening Infineon’s market position as #1 for industrial SiC.

A robust family of silicon carbide semiconductor devices from Wolfspeed is available with design support from Richardson RFPD. According to Wolfspeed, the E-Series line of SiC MOSFETs represents the industry’s first automotive-qualified, PPAP-capable and humidity-resistant MOSFETs.
