High-performance silicon carbide FETs with increased switching speeds
Manufacturer of silicon carbide (SiC) power semiconductors, UnitedSiC, has announced the launch of its UF3C FAST series of 650 and 1200V high-performance silicon carbide FETs in a standard TO-247-3L package. The FAST Series offers increased switching speeds and higher efficiency levels than their existing UJC3 Series.
Grid tie inverter reference design for solar string inverter
This verified reference design provides an overview on how to implement a three-level three-phase SiC based DC:AC grid-tie inverter stage. Higher switching frequency of 50KHz reduces the size of magnetics for the filter design and enables higher power density.
Absolute encoders with HIPERFACE boost direct drive feedback
With the introduction of its SES and SEM absolute encoders, SICK has delivered a motor feedback system with the standard HIPERFACE interface that improves precision and reliability for hollow shaft motors and direct drives. The compact SICK SES70/90 singleturn and SEM70/90 multiturn encoders can be mounted directly on a hollow drive shaft without the need for additional mounting tools.
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.
Adaptable and Compact Power Modules added to Rutronik Portfolio
With ACEPACK, ST launches a new series of adaptable, compact package power modules, which are easy to deploy. They are perfectly suited for simple, efficient and rugged industrial motor designs up to 30 kW. The power modules are now available in two versions, ACEPACK 1 and ACEPACK 2, from Rutronik UK.
Isolated Bi-Directional DC-DC Converters Benefit Energy Storage Systems
TDK introduce the TDK-Lambda brand EZA11K-320240 bi directional DC-DC converters, suitable for use with energy storage systems. Rated at 11kW, this 1U high product will operate off a 240 – 400Vdc source from a high voltage grid and provide 150 – 300Vdc for charging lithium ion batteries. When grid power is not available, the converter will seamlessly transition to drawing stored energy from the batteries to deliver DC power back to th...
SiC wide band-gap devices increase performance
History has a habit of repeating itself, or so the often-quoted phrase goes. Sometimes our human fallibility does indeed lead us to repeat mistakes from the past, while on other occasions, a concept or technique leads us back to an approach that was once of value but ended up consigned to textbook history. The electronics industry is no stranger to picking up ideas from the past, dusting them off and giving them a new lease of life or incorporati...
