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 ...

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 ...

Improving the battery management Electronic and automated battery management for electric vehicles is one of today’s most demanding challenges and one of the most critical factors is the choice of ...

Electric motors offer numerous performance advantages over traditional internal-combustion engines (ICEs). One of the main advantages is the ability to provide maximum torque instantly, improving the ...

The operating principle of the bolometer is very simple. Since in a semiconductor R = R (T ), i.e., the resistance depends on the operating temperature, and a variation δWγ of the incident radiative ...

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 ...

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 ...

Aehr Test Systems disclosed that an initial customer order for a FOX WaferPak Aligner and a FOX-NP wafer-level test and burn-in system intended for gallium nitride power devices has been received. The ...

Although silicon carbide (SiC) has better lattice and thermal expansion coefficient (TEC) matching to GaN, the higher cost of these substrates limits its use in RF and other niche applications. Table ...

Other improvements in the DC-DC converter include the replacement of the flyback diode with synchronous rectifier circuitry with power FET that has less resistance and decreases the losses during ...

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 ...

The WBG market in power applications SiC and GaN growth by segment According to Yole Group, the power global market is estimated to grow from $23 billion in 2023 to $56 million in 2029. As shown by ...
