GaN’s performance for a wide range of applications
Continuing its progress in accelerating the adoption of gallium-nitride (GaN)-on-silicon semiconductors in power markets, leading GaN innovator Exagan has opened a new Power Solutions Center in Toulouse, France, to extend its applications support and market reach in wide-ranging, customer-specific end products.
Isolated ICs ensure precise current measurements
A family of isolated analogue amplifiers, voltage sensors and delta-sigma modulator (DSM) devices have been introduced by Silicon Labs, designed to provide accurate current and voltage measurement with very low drift across temperature, the products are based on Silicon Labs’ robust, third-generation isolation technology.
Greater system reliability in electric vehicles enabled
Fully tested reference designs for battery management and traction inverter systems, have been introduced by Texas Instruments, along with new analog circuits with advanced monitoring and protection features to help reduce carbon dioxide emissions and enable hybrid electric vehicles and electric vehicles (HEV/EVs) to drive farther and longer.
Automotive-compliant fast dimming linear LED controller
Global manufacturer and supplier of high-quality products within the broad discrete, logic, analog and mixed-signal semiconductor markets, Diodes Incorporated, has the availability of the AL5816Q, an automotive-compliant linear LED controller for Automotive LED lighting.
PCIM 2019: Advanced technology for automotive applications
Panasonic will present its latest technology portfolio at PCIM, the power electronics exhibition on Booth 345, Hall 6 at the Nuremberg Messe from 7th-9th May. Strong innovations in the fields of wide bandgap semiconductors, assembly technology and passive components technology form the basis of Panasonic unique position as the solution partner addressing the broadest range of challenges of the modern power electronic design.
Linear LED controller ICs for general lighting
Two new members of the BCR linear LED controller IC portfolio from Infineon Technologies have been introduced with the BCR601 and BCR602. The BCR601 features an innovative voltage feedback to the primary side also known as ‘active headroom control’ (AHC), enabling cost and power effective LED driver applications.
New 3-phase gate drive solution boots switching speeds
Pre-Switch, a Silicon Valley start-up that emerged from stealth mode last year, has expanded its revolutionary soft-switching IGBT and silicon carbide gate driver architecture to cover 3-phase power systems. The platform, including the Pre-Drive3 controller board, powered by the Pre-Flex FPGA, and RPG gate driver board, enables a doubling of power output for a typical inverter, or an increase in switching speed by a factor of up to 20 times.
Realise the potential of automotive SiC MOSFETs
Some of the limitations of SiC MOSFETs can be countered with the use of suitable packages, propose Christian Felgemacher, Felipe Filsecker, Farhan Beg and Aly Mashaly, Rohm Semiconductor and Seiya Kitagawa, Rohm
FPGAs use AI for soft switching
AI can be used to implement soft switching and minimise power conversion switching losses, argue Derek Kroes and Bruce Renouard, Pre-Switch
Power conversion solutions at PCIM
It has been announced that visitors to Analog Devices’ (ADI) stand (Stand 442, in Hall 6) at the PCIM 2019 exhibition and conference, will see a series of demonstrations showing ADI technologies in battery management and power conversion designs for efficient energy storage and EV chargers.
