Power GaN: Who is part of the playground?
Eight years have passed since the first commercialised power GaN device. People in the power electronics industry are becoming increasingly familiar with the names of startups that are actively promoting GaN technology. Efficient Power Conversion (EPC), GaN Systems, Transphorm or Navitas, in addition to the power electronics leaders, are also highly involved in the development of GaN technology.
SiC MOSFETs save energy and protect high voltage systems
Texas Instruments has introduced several new isolated gate drivers that provide unparalleled levels of monitoring and protection for high voltage systems. The UCC21710-Q1 and UCC21732-Q1 and UCC21750 enable designers to create smaller, more efficient and higher performing designs in traction inverters, onboard chargers, solar inverters and motor drives.
What is the most effective way to commutate a BLDC motor?
Brushless direct current electric motors, or BLDC motors for short, are electronically commutated motors powered by a dc electric source via an external motor controller. Unlike their brushed relatives, BLDC motors rely on external controllers to achieve commutation. Put simply, commutation is the process of switching the current in the motor phases to generate motion. By Jason Kelly, CUI
