SiC MOSFETs feature ultra low on resistance at APEC 2018
Littelfuse hasadded two 1,200V Silicon Carbide (SiC) n channel, enhancement-mode MOSFETs to their expanding first-generation portfolio of power semiconductor devices. These new SiC MOSFETs are the latest products of a strategic partnership that Littelfuse formed with Monolith in 2015 to develop power semiconductors for industrial and automotive markets. The announcement was made in the Littelfuse booth at the Applied Power Electronics Conference ...
Compact transistor delivers 600W for RF energy applications
The launch of the600WBLF0910H9LS600 LDMOS power amplifier transistor has been announced byAmpleon.This is the first RF energy transistor using Ampleon’s latest Gen9HV 50V LDMOS process, a node that has been optimised to deliver greatly increased efficiency, power and gain.
Enabling European wearable medtech
With Europe’s wearable medical device market expected to more than double its 2015 value by 2020, it is critical that medical OEMs are launching products that are safe, reliable and effective. Here, Michele Windsor, global marketing manager of medical battery manufacturer Accutronics, explains the role batteries play in this.
IoT growth drives demand for power over Ethernet ICs
Two new Power over Ethernet (PoE) Powered Device (PD) families have been released by Silicon Labs, delivering what the company claims to be best-in-class integration and efficiency for a range of IoT applications.Silicon Labs’ Si3406x and Si3404 families include all necessary high-voltage discrete components on a single PD chip. The new PD ICs support IEEE 802.3 at PoE+ power capabilities, flexible power conversion options exceeding 90% eff...
SiC FETs offer silicon substitution to cut losses in power systems
Manufacturer of Silicon Carbide (SiC) power semiconductors,UnitedSiC has announced the UJ3C series of 650V SiC FETs as drop-in replacements for silicon Superjunction MOSFETs. Available in standard TO-220, TO-247 and D2PAK-3L packages, they operate with standard Si-MOSFET gate drive, eliminating the need to re-design drive circuits, while offering low RDS (ON) and low gate charge to reduce system losses.
GaN power portfolio expanded with small and fast GaN drivers
Expanding on its Gallium Nitride (GaN) power portfolio, Texas Instruments has announced two new high speed GaN Field-Effect Transistor (FET) drivers to create more efficient, higher performing designs in speed-critical applications such as Light Detection And Ranging (LIDAR) and 5G Radio Frequency (RF) envelope tracking. The LMG1020 and LMG1210 can deliver switching frequencies of 50MHz while improving efficiency and enabling five times smaller s...
SiC MOSFETs targeted at industrial and automotive markets
Microsemi Corporation, provider of semiconductor solutions differentiated by power, security, reliability and performance, has announced sampling availability of the first product in its next-generation 1200V Silicon Carbide (SiC) MOSFETs, the 40mOhm MSC040SMA120B. The release of the complementary 1200V SiC Schottky barrier diodes (SBDs), has also been announced further expanding Microsemi's growing SiC discretes and modules portfolios.
The production processes that go into creating printed electronics
There are more processes that go into printed electronics than you may think. From the production of the ink and pastes to the packaging, here are six companies that exhibited at the trade show for printed electronics, LOPEC 2018, held March 14-15 in Munich, that can provide some insight into the intensive production processes that turn out the technology that is rapidly revolutionising all sectors, from automotive and consumer applications to me...
How to specify the optimal heat sink for your design
Excessive temperatures can seriously reduce the lifetime of electronic components. It is well known that for every 10°C rise in operating temperature, the lifetime of an IC is reduced by about 50%. By: Aaron Yarnell, Senior Product Manager, CUI Devices
