STMicroelectronics’ L9908 integrated automotive three-phase gate driver unit (GDU) operates in 12V, 24V, or 48V systems and has flexible input and output channels to fulfil numerous applications in conventional and hybrid/electric vehicles.

How fast can an electric car drive and what distances can it cover? That depends on the built-in power electronics - the electronic heart of electromobility. Silicon carbide is considered a promising alternative material in the semiconductor industry.

In the process of digitalization, the profession of engineer is transforming. To accelerate industry 4.0, it is necessary to constantly expand one's knowledge and interconnect specialist disciplines. A qualified workforce is a decisive factor.

Radio technology plays a decisive role in the networking of vehicles. Chips that can handle several radio standards facilitate the development of multifunctional solutions. An overview

With the launch of the 650-V-FET GAN063-650WSA, Nexperia announces its entry into the GaN power semiconductor market. The high-voltage device achieves industry-leading values.

The startup Nemos aim to capture energy from wind waves in a more efficient way than old methods allow. Their first pilot plant has just been launched.

The development of resource-efficient manufacturing processes for next-generation battery anodes was the aim of the joint project „nextBatt“ funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research. At the Fraunhofer Institute for Organic Electronics, Electron Beam and Plasma Technology FEP, new material combinations and efficient production technologies have been realized for this purpose.

At the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE, a universally applicable test stand for kinetic investigations has been developed to analyze catalytic fixed-bed reactions under dynamic operating conditions. The compact, mobile “KISS” system can also be used for technology demonstration on location in remote regions.

From May 10 - 12, 2022, the international power electronics industry will meet again live in Nuremberg after nearly two years of predominantly digital exchange. As in previous years, visitors of the leading exhibition and conference for power electronics can expect product innovations and a top-class lecture program.

onsemi, a specialist in intelligent power and sensing technologies, introduced its latest mixed-signal controller dedicated to bridgeless totem pole PFC (TP PFC) topology. The NCP1681 targets ultra-high density offline power supplies. Building upon the success of the NCP1680, which is suited for designs up to 350 W, the new controller extends the power capability into the kilowatt range.
