Diodes Incorporated introduces the AL3069Q, an automotive-compliant high-efficiency 60V boost controller for backlight applications. The device includes four 80V high-precision current sink channels to accommodate larger LED display panels, and extensive diagnostic functions for optimum system safety and reliability.

DigiKey, an international electronic components and automation products distributor, has introduce an industry-first power supply configuration tool, which simplifies the process of designing power supply solutions.

In 2025, the power electronics industry has responded to continued power demand growth, particularly in the US, with ongoing innovation in GaN and SiC wide bandgap semiconductors, higher functional integration, and increasing AI penetration. This article shows exactly how these technologies are improving power electronics performance.

In Q4 2025, the semiconductor market split into two distinct realities. While analog and power IC supply largely normalized across industrial, automotive, and IoT segments, backend capacity and memory remained persistent bottlenecks. Surging AI compute demand continued to strain advanced packaging and DRAM supply, reinforcing structural constraints across the silicon value chain.

India's power electronics market is experiencing rapid growth due to increasing demand for energy-efficient solutions across various sectors, particularly with the integration of renewable energy and the expansion of the automotive and consumer electronics industries.

Vicor, a high-density power solutions provider, has partnered with Spacechips, developer of space-electronics solutions for satellites and spacecraft, to design power-dense, reliable transponder for in-orbit AI processing. Spacechips’ AI1 transponder is radiation-tolerant, rugged and compact featuring Vicor’s high density power modules, setting a new standard for power processing, and enabling the next-generation of computing and application design for New Space.

Automatic charging instead of plugging in cables: In a cooperative project, Empa researchers investigated inductive charging of electric cars. This is not only similarly efficient to cable-based charging, but could also simplify the integration of vehicle batteries as flexible storage devices into the electricity grid. The first cars in Switzerland to be converted for inductive charging have already been approved for road use.

Siemens and GlobalFoundries have entered a new strategic collaboration to leverage each company’s complementary AI-based capabilities to enhance performance of semiconductor manufacturing and advanced industries – making operations more efficient, secure and reliable. In their latest memorandum of understanding, the companies focus on automation technologies for semiconductor fabrication, electrification, digital solutions and software ranging from chip development to product lifecycle management.

onsemi announced the release of its EliteSiC MOSFETs in the industry-standard T2PAK top-cool package, advancing power packaging for automotive and industrial applications. This new offering delivers thermal performance, reliability and design flexibility for demanding high-power, high-voltage applications for markets including electric vehicles, solar infrastructure, and energy storage systems.

ROHM has begun mass production of the SCT40xxDLL series of SiC MOSFETs in TOLL packages. Compared to conventional packages with equivalent voltage ratings and on-resistance, these packages offer improved thermal performance. This enables high-power handling despite their compact size and low profile. Intended for industrial equipment, including server PSUs and energy storage systems, that require low‑profile components to meet higher power‑density and form‑factor objectives.
