Optoelectronics, sensors, actuators and discretes climb again
With tight supplies of widely used power transistors and diodes driving up prices and new optical-imaging applications moving into more systems, the diverse marketplace for optoelectronics, sensors and actuators, and discrete semiconductors (O-S-D) is on pace to grow by 11% for the second year in a row in 2018 and set a ninth consecutive record-high level in combine annual revenues worldwide.
The transformation of medical imaging and diagnosis
Digital technology has had a huge impact on modern life, revolutionising how we perform simple tasks like taking a photo or watching TV, but perhaps the most significant impact has been its transformation of medical care.
GaN FET doubles power density in industrial and telecom applications
Texas Instruments has announced a new portfolio of ready-to-use, 600V gallium nitride (GaN), 50mΩ and 70mΩ power stages to support applications up to 10kW. The LMG341x family enables designers to create smaller, more efficient and higher performing designs compared to silicon Field-Effect Transistors (FETs) in AC/DC power supplies, robotics, renewable energy, grid infrastructure, telecom and personal electronics applications.
SiC MOSFET enables high frequency power control applications
Expanding its portfolio of SiC MOSFET devices,Littelfuse hasintroduced its first 1,700V SiC MOSFET, the LSIC1MO170E1000.An important addition to the Littelfuse SiC MOSFET product offering, the LSIC1MO170E1000 is a powerful addition to the company’s 1,200V SiC MOSFETS and Schottky diodes already released. End-users will benefit from more compact, energy-efficient systems and also from a potential lower total cost of ownership.
Partnership to develop GaN-on-Silicon technology
STMicroelectronicsand Leti have announced their cooperation to industrialise GaN (Gallium Nitride)-on-Silicon technologies for power switching devices. This power GaN-on-Si technology will enable ST to address high efficiency, high power applications, including automotive on-board chargers for hybrid and electric vehicles, wireless charging, and servers.
Evaluation boards target growing wireless charging market
Availability and full design support capabilities are for two evaluation boards from GaN Systems have been announced by Richardson RFPD.
