Impact of the semiconductor industry Nowadays, there is a strong focus on sustainability in semiconductor manufacturing. If we look at emissions across the entire supply chain across all sectors, we ...

The battery provides a voltage anywhere between 200 and 800V, with a trend to move to 800V for reducing the diameter of high-power cables or increasing the inverter power for given wires. Inverter ...

Today, it’s a pleasure to have a special guest, Marijana Vukicevic, joining us to discuss the evolving role of microcontrollers (MCUs) in high-performance motor control and power conversion ...

Linear regulators and low dropout (LDO) regulators Power dissipation and thermal management of power semiconductors Switching regulator introduction and the three-terminal element The three basic ...

The step-down (buck) In DC/DC switching circuits, appropriately driven electronic switches and components are used to store energy, allowing it to be converted. A step-down, or buck, converter is a DC ...

Pietro Scalia, Head of WW Power Business Development, Renesas Electronics stated at the electronica 2024 that Renesas believes in a multi-technology approach. In the power space they provide a wide ...

Similarly, the .DC directive performs a simulation in direct current, altering voltage or current and displaying the trend of the quantities of interest with respect to a variable voltage source. The ...

Diamond, along with gallium oxide (Ga 2 O 3), belongs to the class of Ultra Wide Band Gap (UWBG) semiconductors. Its dielectric breakdown strength is at least three times higher than SiC, along with a ...

In an interview with Power Electronics News, Han Wui Then, principal engineer at Components Research, Intel Corporation, focused on these research developments that allow for greater scaling and more ...

GaN FET thermal calculator The use of the thermal calculator is easy and self-driven. The user starts by filling in the input parameters for the devices and the board/heatsink configuration. The ...

Class AB Amplifier The main class AB advantage is that it has the lowest distortion—total harmonic distortion plus noise (THD + N) is less than 0.1% for high fidelity. The main disadvantages are that ...

This conductivity can be adjusted by applying an electric field to a certain contact of the component. Silicon carbide is one of the most promising WBG semiconductors and offers higher energy ...
