Zap Energy has reached a significant milestone by securing $130 million in fresh capital while launching operations of its new high-rep-rate fusion technology test platform, Century. Zap Energy, a ...

Formula E is a full-electric racing tournament that displays the performance of electric vehicles in a truly competitive context. When we talk about electric vehicles (EVs) and e-mobility in general, ...

Microinverters are used to convert the DC energy from solar panels to usage AC energy. In contrast to centralized string inverters, microinverters are typically dedicated to a single photovoltaic (PV) ...

In some flyback power supply circuits, we have to implement outputs in the secondary of the transformer that are isolated from the other outputs that share a common ground. Technically no feedback ...

Efficiently managing energy is the key to optimizing systems that rely on energy storage to operate. Advanced systems such as wireless sensors have become a useful technology over time through energy ...

In this article, based on a whitepaper by Littelfuse, we discuss the key factors that affect failure rates of cosmic devices due to cosmic radiation. Energetic particles affect semiconductor chips ...

The integration of gate driver, power MOSFETs, bootstrap diodes, and fast-acting protection in one package saves 70% of board space. STMicroelectronics has launched the PWD5T60 three-phase driver, ...

In this tutorial, we will study the Hall effect that allows us to experimentally determine the mobility of charge carriers in semiconductors. In this tutorial, we will work in the Drude-Lorentz ...

In an interview with Power Electronics News, GKN Automotive will explore how the company is addressing the challenges of sustainability and which actions have been recently taken to reach these ...

The new Intermediate Bus Converters, including the BMR321 and a new variant of the 400W continuous power rated BMR320, will be showcased at the 2024 OCP Global Summit. Flex Power Modules has launched ...

The results of integrating parameter identification capabilities in gate drivers demonstrated substantial benefits in terms of energy efficiency and system robustness. A presentation 1 held at the ...

Power-switching transistors built with gallium nitride (GaN) are superior to those built with silicon (Si) because the material’s properties enable the realization of devices with a much smaller wafer ...
