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

The SiC FET in a ‘cascode configuration comes closer to the ideal power switch, believes Dr Anup Bhalla, VP engineering at UnitedSiC

Technology advancements are driving manufacturers to create—and people to expect—products that enable greater functionality, more convenience, and quick results. This is apparent in all aspects of work and daily life, ranging from consumer products like smart phones and watches, to blockchain, cloud services and, at the enterprise level, smart factories. The medical field is no exception. By EJ Shin, Managing Director, Jenax

Power electronics is a growing market thanks to the electrification of many industries including the automotive industry, as outlined in the IDTechEx Research report ‘Conductive Ink Markets 2019-2029: Forecasts, Technologies, Players’. The power electronic modulus are also growing in performance.

Power is always an interesting topic as it is a necessity in life, but after visiting my first ever PCIM show this week it has opened my eyes as to how big the automotive power sector is, and how much it is expected to grow.Of course the big players in the automotive industry continue to innovate, but PCIM this year saw more companies starting to become involved in automotive power, whereas before they stuck to the more energy and industrial side...

A global specialist in silicones and silicon-based technology, Dow, has further expanded its portfolio of protective pottants with the launch of new, heat-resistant dielectric gels under the DOWSIL label: EG-4000, EG-4100 and EG-4120. The latest additions are thermally stable silicone pottants for protective encapsulation of sensitive components within SiC and GaN power modules, on PCBs and in industrial sensors and actuators.

Infineon Technologies enters high volume production of a comprehensive portfolio of 1,200V CoolSiC MOSFET devices. They are rated from 30-350mΩ and implemented into TO247-3 and TO247-4 housings. The expansion includes a surface mount device (SMD) portfolio and a 650V CoolSiC MOSFET product family, both to be launched soon.

It has been announced that New Yorker Electronics is distributing the newest Exxelia Sic Safco Long-Life Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor. The Felsic HV family of aluminium electrolytic screw terminal capacitors provides great performances in energy density combined with an ultra-long lifetime.

This year’s PCIM Europe was attended by a record number of visitors, over 12,000. Over half (54%) were from outside Germany. They came to see over 500 exhibitors and while the subject matter was diverse and wide-ranging, there were some themes that emerged. GaN and SiC jostled for attention at this year’s PCIM Europe, writes Caroline Hayes, alongside current sensor developments designed to accelerate adoption rates for electric vehicl...

A dynamic power device analyser with double-pulse tester (PD1500A) from Keysight Technologies delivers reliable, repeatable measurements of wide-bandgap (WBG) semiconductors, while ensuring the safety of the measurement hardware and the professionals performing the tests.
