ST offers new ACEPACK 1 and ACEPACK 2 Power Modules with Six-pack and CIB (converter + inverter + brake) topologies in industrial power applications including industrial motor drives, solar panels, welding tools and power management solutions.

Yes, says Magnus Moller-Petersen, the EVP Sales and Marketing at global mobile device intelligence specialist, Sicap. “But only if operators are able to manage the standard RCS Universal Profile handsets and those built according to proprietary solutions”.

Wide band-gap devices have yet to break into the EV market in a meaningful way, but the stage is set for them to become the technology of choice as they drop in cost and demonstrate the performance and reliability needed. ByAnup Bhalla, VP Engineering at UnitedSiC.

Infineon Technologies is now offering the EiceDRIVER 1EDC Compact 300mm family of single channel gate driver ICs. With an insulation test voltage ofVISO= 2500 V(rms) for 60 sec these galvanically isolated drivers are recognised under UL 1577. Due to their high switching frequency of up to 1,000kHz they do not only drive IGBTs, but can also be integrated in demanding SiC MOSFET topologies.

Panasonic Industry Europe will showcase its latest technology portfolio at PCIM, the power electronics exhibition and conference on Booth 345, Hall 6, Nuremberg Messe.Panasonic's line up of 600V GaN transistors X-GaN enables an increase of the power density and the improvement of the efficiency of power conversion systems.

At this year's PCIM show, visitors to theAnalog Devices (ADI)stand(Hall 6, stand 446)will see demonstrations highlighting the company’s technologies that span the power-electronics domain, taking in advanced motor drive inverter techniques, driving of the latest SiC and GaN power semiconductors, and precision management of battery-based energy-storage systems.

In Nuremburg, Germany at this year's PCIM show, Power Integrations announced that two of its SCALE-iDriver gate-driver IC family are now certified to AEC-Q100 Grade Level 1 for automotive use. The SID1132KQ and SID1182KQ are suitable for driving 650, 750 and 1,200V automotive IGBT and SiC-MOSFET modules, and are rated for peak currents of +/-2.5A and +/-8A.

Purdue University researchers have developed detection technology that allows a typical smartphone to analyse produce for foodborne pathogens such as E. coli O157:H7, which has been linked to a deadly outbreak in romaine lettuce.The technology involves both hardware – a smartphone cradle – and software in the form of an application that is downloaded on the phone. The combination allows the smartphone to be used as an on-site luminome...

VTT's robot car, Marilyn, sees better than humans in foggy, and even snowy, conditions, and can now navigate without stopping – including in bad weather. It can also see a human through fog and avoid accident automatically. This is enabled by the LiDAR mounted on the car’s roof, which can see wavelengths that are beyond the human senses. As the technology evolves, this represents a step towards a safe automated vehicle that is not eve...

When it comes down to choosing the right safety relay, it is important in identifying the smallest performance improvements as it can result in big productivity gains.That’s why SICK has developed its ReLy safety relays to achieve a 10ms response time with a class-leading, long and durable product lifecycle.
