AEC-Q100 gate drivers for automotive applications
AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive applications, Texas Instruments has claimed that the UCC275xx-Q1 family of single- and dual-channel gate drivers features the industry’s fastest propagation delays of less than 15ns. The ultra-low propagation delays in the gate drivers help automotive systems efficiently switch power electronics at high frequencies to maintain a small footprint and reduce overall vehicle weight.
Dual IGBT Gate Driver is suited for driving SiC MOSFETs
ADual IGBT Gate Driver, featuring two high current outputs, has been announced by IXYS. TheIX2204 driver'shigh current outputs arecapable of sourcing 2A and sinking 4A. Manufactured on IXYS ICD's advanced BCDMOS Silicon on Insulator (SOI) process, the IX2204 outputs have a wide operation voltage range of -10V to +26V.

Designed formotor drives, alternative energy, welding equipment, and other high working voltage applications, theVOW3120-X017T is aIGBT and MOSFET driver from Vishay Intertechnology.The VOW3120-X017T features a minimum 10mm clearance and external creepage distance.
Research reduces components required for induction stoves
The "InduKOCH" research project has been completed by E.G.O. Group, the University of Bremen's Institute for Electrical Drives, Power Electronics and Devices (IALB), and Infineon Technologies, who headed the project. The three-year research project has reduced the number of components that induction stoves require, making them more affordable and more energy efficient.
Robust current sensing IC improves system efficiency
Increasing overall system efficiency and saving space in high current applications, a robust general purpose current sensing IC has been introduced by International Rectifier. The IR25750 uses the Rds(on) of a power MOSFET or the VCE(on) of an IGBT to measure current, eliminating the need for large external current sensing resistors.
