Automotive servicing in the era of the electronic car
The automotive electronic revolution has given us vehicles brimming with impressive features, and this is only the beginning. One component that should not be overlooked in this transformation is automotive servicing, crucial to the overall ownership experience. Author:Gerhard Angst. Email:gerhard@concept.de
High gain, wide bandwidth characterise GaN HEMTs
A family of gallium-nitride (GaN) high-electron-mobility transistors (HEMTs) from Wolfspeed are in stock at Mouser Electronics. The CG2H40xx and CG2H30070 operate from a 28V rail, and offer a versatile, general-purpose broadband solution for a variety of radio frequency (RF) and microwave applications.
DC/DC converters cope with high switching voltages
Availability and full design support capabilities for two series of DC/DC converters from RECOM Power has been announced by Richardson RFPD. High slew-rate GaN transistors require an isolated 6V supply with high isolation voltage and low isolation capacitance.
The fine-tuning of 2D materials
A new understanding of why synthetic 2D materials often perform orders of magnitude worse than predicted was reached by teams of researchers led by Penn State. They searched for ways to improve these materials' performance in future electronics, photonics, and memory storage applications.Two-dimensional materials are films only an atom or two thick.
A selection guide to IGBT and rectifier diode modules
Welcome to the IGBT and rectifier diode modules selection guide.An insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) is a three-terminal power semiconductor device primarily used as an electronic switch which, as it was developed, came to combine high efficiency and fast switching.
GaN transistor shrinks by a factor of eight compared with MOSFETs
A 40V gallium nitride (GaN) power transistor from Efficient Power Conversion (EPC) is eight times smaller than equivalently-rated MOSFETS.
A materials-based approach to reinventing the inductor
Inductors are everywhere, from your cell phone and laptop to your radio, television, and car. A basic building block of today’s technology, they are also a crucial component for realising the potential of the IoT, which promises to connect people to some 50 billion objects, by 2020, with an projected economic impact ranging from $2.7-$6.2 trillion annually by 2025.
Semiconducting polymers for future devices
Scientists at Tokyo Tech have successfully developed n-type semiconducting copolymers with high electron mobilities. They investigated their properties and their effectiveness for thin-film transistors, obtaining highly promising results.Semiconducting polymers have numerous potential applications in modern technological devices owing to their low cost, low weight, and flexibility.
Lightweight touchscreen pressure sensor arrays
Touchscreens on mobile handheld devices can detect if and where a user is touching the screen, but standard technology cannot determine how much pressure is being exerted. Now, researchers at the University of California San Diego and the University of Texas at Austin have demonstrated a new technology for ‘force sensing’ that can be added to any type of display, including flexible devices, and potential other uses go far beyond touch...
