The PCIM Europe 2024 conference, a premier event for power electronics and intelligent motion technology, showcased groundbreaking innovations and strategic insights from industry leaders. With a ...

Barry Lin, CTO of Wavetek Microelectronics, noted in an exclusive interview with Power Electronics News the semiconductor industry landscape, especially for compound semiconductors, with several ...

WBG transistors also switch faster and can operate at higher frequencies than silicon. Lower on-resistance means they dissipate less power, thereby promoting efficiency. This unique combination of ...

Gallium nitride technology is revolutionizing diverse applications, from LiDAR systems to motor control. LiDAR employs pulsed lasers for precise distance measurement, generating detailed 3D images. In ...

Sensored vs sensorless motor control BLDC motors require knowledge of the rotor position and mechanism to commutate the motor because they are not self-commutating, making them more challenging to ...

A powertrain is a system of components in a vehicle that converts the chemical energy of the fuel into mechanical energy that propels the motion of an automobile. It is a mechanical system comprising ...

To comparatively test the recovery time, a 50% load transient was performed for both the four-phase and one-phase LT8627SP, with a slew rate of 6 A/µs per phase. Results (see Figure 3) showed a ...

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 ...

Silicon Carbide (SiC) is a compound semiconductor composed of silicon (Si) and carbon (C). SiC can be doped by n-type with nitrogen or phosphorous and p-type with beryllium, boron, aluminum, or ...

In the last installment we explained the operation and use of the main types of voltage and current generators. In this article we continue with our exploration, describing other types of generators, ...

2024 has been a crucial year for the power electronics sector in terms of development, preparing for radical changes in 2025 and beyond. Wide-bandgap (WBG) semiconductors and artificial-intelligence ...
