You’re undoubtedly familiar with power-switching devices such as the venerable and still very viable insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT). An enhanced variation is the B-TRAN bipolar junction ...

My first engineering manager taught me to make sure that my power supply design would work first on paper and then I could breadboard it. That was in 1973 before there were high-integration ICs and ...

Power modules are high-power switching circuits that convert DC- in AC-currents in electric vehicles, renewable energy, and many more applications. New materials [14] and device technologies [14], ...

Rohm Semiconductor and Shenzhen BASiC Semiconductor have entered into a strategic partnership agreement to develop SiC power devices for automotive applications. The partnership will leverage each of ...

Current simulation and verification methods for power modules are time-consuming. Each domain has specific solutions based on finite elements analysis, computational fluid dynamics and solvers for ...

Find a downloadable version of this story in pdf format at the end of the story. The synchronous buck converter has become the ubiquitous standard in electronic equipment. While the basic topology is ...

You may have seen the Ruideng range of programmable power supply modules from China: small and relatively inexpensive switch-mode buck converters, with microprocessor control and a front panel ...
