The electronic design community, element14.com, has announced a new series of Tech Spotlights to be published on a bi-monthly basis to help its community of engineers learn about new topics outside of their specialty.

Smart energy is the umbrella term for a wide range of technologies in this area relating to energy storage, consumption control, and energy conversion. electronica 2018, 13th to 16th November, in Munich, has the motto ‘Connecting everything: Smart, safe & secure’ and will be showcasing products and services from a wide range of sectors.

A ‘cascode’ sounds like an archaic term from the era of vacuum tubes and that’s where it comes from. Cascodes today, though, are very relevant in their latest incarnation as combinations of SiC JFETs and Si MOSFETs, giving performance that’s getting very close to the suitable switch.

MIT researchers are employing novel machine-learning techniques to improve the quality of life for patients by reducing toxic chemotherapy and radiotherapy dosing for glioblastoma, the most aggressive form of brain cancer.Glioblastoma is a malignant tumour that appears in the brain or spinal cord, and prognosis for adults is no more than five years. Patients must endure a combination of radiation therapy and multiple drugs taken every month.

The company has added over 14,000+ Industrial Automation part numbers to its portfolio in categories such as sensors, cables, safety devices, control monitors, relays, timers, switches, lighting, and controllers, among others.

GaN and SiC MOSFET technologies for industrial and automotive use were a focal point of the Panasonic Industry Europe (PIEU) display at PCIM 2018.

Littelfuse has introduced an expanded portfolio of silicon carbide (SiC) power semiconductor devices with the addition of five GEN2 Series 1200V, 3L TO-247 Schottky Diodes and three GEN2 Series 1200V, 2L TO-263 Schottky Diodes. When compared with silicon devices, GEN2 SiC Schottky Diodes reduce switching losses and allow for increases in the efficiency and robustness of power electronics systems. The product introduction was made during the PCIM ...

At this year's PCIM in Nuremburg, Germany, ON Semiconductor has announced an expansion of its Silicon Carbide (SiC) Schottky diode portfolio to include devices intended for demanding automotive applications.

Microsemi has announced it will be expanding its Silicon Carbide (SiC) MOSFET and SiC diode product portfolios early next quarter, including samples of its next-gen 1,200V, 25 and 80Ω SiC MOSFET devices; next-gen 700V, 50A Schottky Barrier Diode (SBD) and corresponding die. These SiC solutions, along with other recently announced devices in the SiC SBD/MOSFET product families, will be demonstrated 5th-7th Junein hall 6, booth 318 at PCIM Eu...

Tackling the energy inefficiency of public buildings, TRIBE developed a mobile game to educate and change behaviour. Its simulation draws on real data to demonstrate the human aspects of building use, such as ingrained attitudes and the pursuit of comfort.According to European Commission figures, approximately 40% of energy consumption comes from buildings, which are also responsible for 36% of the EU’s CO2 emissions.
