ROHM has recently announced the addition of ten new automotive-grade SiC MOSFETs. The introduction of the SCT3xxxxxHR series allows ROHM to offer a large lineup of AEC-Q101 qualified SiC MOSFETs that provide the high reliability necessary for automotive on board chargers and DC/DC converters.In recent years an increasing number of automotive makers are offering electric vehicles in response to growing environmental awareness and rising fuel costs...

As our world becomes increasingly reliant on technology, the demand for power will only continue to increase. Following a vibrant APEC 2019, held in California in March, Electronic Specifier Editor Joe Bush caught up with Anoop Chadaga, Product Marketing Manager, Texas Instruments, to find out what the company’s focus was at the show.

Six FRED Pt Gen 5 1200 V Hyperfast and Ultrafast rectifiers have been introduced by Vishay Intertechnology. Offering excellent conduction and switching loss trade-off for devices in their class, the 30A and 60A Vishay rectifiers are designed to increase the efficiency of high frequency converters and of hard- and soft-switched or resonant designs.

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.

The automotive industry has emerged as a significant market opportunity for suppliers of conductive pastes and similar materials. It has the potential to one day rival in significance the irreplaceable photovoltaic market. Almost every major paste supplier with a global profile is re-organising its team and its product portfolio to capture this rising trend.

A wide-range of test and measurement products and solutions will be showcased by Tektronix at PCIM 2019 in Nuremberg (May 7-9) including the SiC MOSFET and GaNFET Switching Power Converter Analysis Kit. Tektronix experts will also be on hand to discuss the latest power test solutions from Tektronix.

Power Integrations hasannounced theSIC1182KSCALE-iDriver, a high efficiency, single-channel SiC MOSFET gate driver that delivers the highest peak output gate current available without an external boost stage. Devices can be configured to support different gate-drive voltage requirements matching the range of requirements seen in SiC MOSFETs today and include advanced safety features making them both compact and robust.

This reference design from Texas Instruments provides an overview on how to implement a three-level, three-phase, SiC-based AC/DC converter with bi-directional functionality. A high switching frequency of 50kHz reduces the size of magnetics for the filter design and as a result a higher power density.

It has been announced that SICK has reinvented the lightgrid as a versatile ‘light chain’ of cascading photoelectric sensors. The FlexChain detection system is a completely new way of configuring light grids that offers unprecedented freedom for automated plant and machinery applications.
