Rolls-Royce SMR Limited and ČEZ Group have announced that they will join forces to bring their global capabilities and know-how to the deployment of Rolls-Royce SMR’s small modular reactor technology. This is enabled by an equity investment by CEZ into Rolls-Royce SMR and a strategic partnership to deploy up to 3GW of electricity in the Czech Republic using Rolls-Royce SMR power plants.

Power Integrations, a global player in high-voltage integrated circuits for energy-efficient power conversion, have introduced a new member of its InnoMux-2 family of single-stage, independently regulated multi-output offline power supply ICs.

George Boole was a famous mathematician who made a significant contribution to modern semiconductor technology. Read this article to learn about the “electronic” ground-breaking invention of a new field of mathematics called “Boolean algebra” and its significance in electrical and electronics fields.

Tektronix has announced a new lineup of breakthrough power devices set to accelerate innovation in industries demanding greater power capacity and efficiency. The new TICP Series IsoVu isolated current probes are the world’s first to utilize RF isolation, delivering exceptional precision and safety when measuring fast-changing current across both low- and high-voltage systems. The EA-PSB 20000 Triple series is a 3-channel, bidirectional power supply and electronic load with energy recovery that delivers higher test coverage, density, and capacity across multiple channels within a single device.

As more and more wirelessly connected devices hit the market, thanks in part to the growth of the Internet of Things (IoT), electromagnetic compatibility is of growing importance.

Siemens Smart Infrastructure launches its first fully electronic starter with semiconductor technology. The SIMATIC ET 200SP e-Starter offers short-circuit protection that is 1000 times faster and is virtually wear-free compared to conventional solutions such as circuit breakers or fuses. This ensures optimal protection for motors as well as other types of loads and the applications in which they are used. The e-Starter also features the application-friendly Smart Start and full integration into the Totally Integrated Automation (TIA) concept. The compact device can be used worldwide, requires minimal space in the control cabinet, and is easy to install.

STMicroelectronics hast launched their new STGAP3S family of gate drivers for silicon-carbide (SiC) and IGBT power switches. It combines ST’s latest robust galvanic isolation technology with optimized desaturation protection and flexible Miller-clamp architecture.

As global power demands rise and energy transition accelerates, the power industry faces new challenges. At Electronica 2024 Munich, WIN SOURCE, a leading independent electronic component distributor, will showcase intelligent supply chain solutions and rigorous quality control. With innovative management strategies, WIN SOURCE helps power industry clients reduce costs and improve operational efficiency to stay competitive.

Quantum computing is a weird concept, yet it has become a reality - at least on a limited and experimental basis. So, what is it, what can it do that traditional computing cannot, and why are quantum computers not yet available as production items?

At Fraunhofer IISB, a research group is developing optimized base materials and process technologies for solid-state quantum electronics using silicon carbide (SiC). Unlike other quantum technologies, SiC combines highly attractive quantum properties with a mature materials platform that is also compatible with established microelectronics.
