Murata today announced the Murata Power Solutions MEJ1 series of isolated 1 Watt DC-DC converters. Encapsulated in a 7 pin SIP package, the MEJ1 series offers basic and supplementary isolation to the internationally recognized UL60950 standard.

In its latest technology & market analysis, titled “SiC Market”, Yole Développement identifies two scenarios for SiC industry evolution: “The optimistic scenario will see SiC devices used commercially in EV/HEV from 2015 onwards, taking 11% of the market from silicon IGBT devices by 2020”, explains Dr. Philippe Roussel, Business Unit Manager, Power Electronics & Compound Semi at Yole Développement. “In the pessimistic scenario, EV/HEV...

Power Electronic Measurements (PEM) has launched its latest generation of Rogowski coils for non-contact current measurement, designed specifically for monitoring today’s most advanced power systems and semiconductors. The new CWT Ultra-mini probe offers higher maximum frequency and increased stability over a wider operating temperature range.

CT-Concept Technologie has launched a new dual-channel IGBT-driver core which can handle voltages of up to 4.5 kV. Featuring transformer-based signal isolation - rather than more expensive fibre-optic technology - and an on-board power supply, the new 2SC0635T units are cost-effective, compact and reliable.

CT-Concept Technologie has launched the 1SC0450V, a compact and robust single-channel gate-drive solution for 6.5 kV IGBT modules. The driver is able to support the operation of up to four IGBT modules in parallel, and the use of CONCEPT’s proprietary SCALE-2 ASIC technology results in a significantly lower component count compared to a discrete solution.

Yole Développement is organizing a Market Briefing at PCIM Europe 2013. This event will take place on May 15, 2013, Hall 9 - Forum Area #461 - registration is free. Wideband gap semiconductor is a hot topic, but we must not forget that silicon isn't dead. On the contrary, it will continue to improve (SJ MOSFETs, Thin wafer IGBTs, etc.). For example:

At PCIM Europe 2013 in Nuremberg (May 14-16, 2013), Infineon Technologies AG launches its new EconoDUAL 3 IGBT modules, which are fully qualified according to automotive standards. The new offering addresses demanding applications in commercial, construction or agricultural vehicles where extended reliability is a key. Automotive qualification means that the modules provide significantly increased thermal cycling and thermal shock capability, whi...

ON Semiconductor expands its portfolio of high performance IGBTs targeted at high performance power conversion consumer appliance and industrial applications. The new generation Field Stop II devices being launched at PCIM improve switching characteristics and reduce losses by up to 30 percent leading to higher efficiency and translating into lower case temperature, giving designers options for improving overall system performance and reliabilit...

Mitsubishi Electric Corporation will announce on Power Conversion Intelligent Motion (PCIM) Europe 2013 on May 14-16 in Nuremberg, Germany, the development of higher current rated intelligent power modules (IPMs) mainly for electric- (EV) and hybrid vehicle (HV) applications. Two new models of the J-Series in 3-phase inverter configuration (6 in 1) will be introduced, based on low-loss CSTBTTM chip technology.

Silicon Labs today introduced the industry’s first digital CMOS-based drop-in replacement solution for optocoupler-isolated gate drivers (opto-drivers). Supporting up to 5 kV isolation ratings and up to 10 kV surge protection, the new Si826x isolated gate drivers provide an ideal configuration, package and footprint fit for a wide range of opto-drivers used in high-power motor control, industrial drives, solar power and EV/HEV inverters, and sw...
