SiC high voltage MOSFETs and diodes are wide bandgap devices that ensure low conduction and low switching loss. Maximising their performance requires more than just plugging them into your application.

Expanding its next-gen microScan3 family SICK has introduced the addition of EtherNet/IP and PROFINET compatible variants to enable easy integration of safety laser scanners into a safe network. This also facilitates simultaneous field evaluation of up to four fields, instead of the single field offered by standard I/O scanners.The SICK microScan3Core – EtherNet/IP is the first safety laser scanner to support CIPSafety over EtherNet/IP and ...

Infectious diseases bring disproportionate amounts of illness and disability to the poorest and most vulnerable communities in the world. They infect many millions of people but they affect many millions more, with families and communities caught in a cycle of disease and poverty, leading to reduced economic development. Communities within Sub-Saharan Africa carry much of this burden.

STMicroelectronics will exhibit its latest semiconductor solutions for smart driving at AUTOMOTIVE WORLD 2018. The automotive industry is witnessing rapid advances in the development of technologies such as autonomous driving, Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS), vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication, and power management in Electric Vehicles (EVs).

At the 2018 MACH show SICK will be demonstrating its UK SafetyIQ concept, the company’s universal approach to ensuring safe, compliant personnel protection without compromising on machine availability, efficiency and productivity.SICK’s machinery safety experts will be on hand on stand H18-421 to discuss SafetyIQ, a full suite of safety products, services and systems underpinned by networking and integration that enables customers to ...

Instead of me facing you with another rhetorical question about, what technology we will see in 2018, or how digitalisation is all anyone wants to talk about, let me tell you about what I learnt from semiconductor company Infineon.The big focus for the company here is robotics, and more importantly; how does robotics translate into business opportunities? Well first of all the question is not necessarily how, but why? Infineon is a company that h...

Real-time data from smartphone thermometers can effectively track and predict influenza activity at national and regional levels.When a flu season is more severe than expected—like this year’s—the surge of patients can overwhelm clinics, emergency rooms, and hospitals.An accurate forecast of flu activity could provide advanced warning and help health care systems and public health departments be better prepared.

Supplier of module-based solutions for power electronics,Vincotech, has announced the launch of new neutral-point-clamped power modules featuring the latest IGBT technology for three-phase solar, UPS and ESS applications. Engineered to address the key challenges of high efficiency, low weight and small size, these flowNPC 2 modules outperform standard products.

The VENTURI Formula E team in the FIA Formula E 2017-2018 (season four) was provided withfull SiC power modules from ROHM.This module will support further improvements in the car’s performance under racing conditions.ROHM became VENTURI’s official technology partner in season 3, and provides what the company claims to be the world’s most advanced SiC power devices used in the inverter, which is the core of the electric vehicle p...

It is highly unlikely that anyone reading this article is unfamiliar with the Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT). This disruptive power transistor, first commercialised in the early 1980s, has had an enormous positive impact on the power electronics industry, enabling innovative converter design, improved system efficiencies, and worldwide energy savings. Indeed, some estimates suggest the IGBT has helped forestall 75 trillion pounds of CO2...
