Mitsubishi Electric announced today it will launch a new series of transfer-mold-type, mini dual-inline-package intelligent power modules primarily for inverter drive systems of small-capacity motors, servos and other industrial equipment.

Electric Motor Drive Systems are the single largest user of electrical power and account for twice as much energy usage when compared to lighting applications. By 2030, the demand associated with electric motors is expected to more than double. The associated CO2 emissions are expected to increase by more than 40 percent. In the European Union, new regulatory initiatives including the Eco-design Directive and the Electric Motor Regulations, are i...

Infineon Technologies is hosting a two-day meeting at its Villach site to kick-off one of the largest European research projects focused on advancing industrial production capability. The research project, “Enhanced Power Pilot Line”, is aimed at further strengthening Europe as a high-technology industrial production site.

After strong gains in 2010 and 2011, power transistor sales fell more than 8% in 2012 to $12.3 billion primarily due to weak economic growth and high levels of uncertainty, which caused equipment makers to rein in semiconductor purchases, according to IC Insights’ new 2013 O-S-D Report—A Market Analysis and Forecast for Optoelectronics, Sensors/Actuators, and Discretes.

John reviews traditional approaches to gate drives, shows the advantages of the UCC27531 and demonstrates performance on the evaluation board. UCC27531 is ideal for inverters, UPS, HEV/EV and industrial applications for switching IGBTs.
