Hitachi Energy, a global technology speicalist that is advancing a sustainable energy future for all, has been selected by SSEN Transmission, part of the UK energy giant SSE plc, to supply multiple onshore high-voltage direct current converter stations to accelerate the integration of bulk renewables into the UK power grid.

COSEL Co, Ltd announced the addition of a new series of high isolation 6W DC/DC converters for medical, industrial and ICT applications. Packaged in a Single In Line (SIP) type 8, the COSEL MH6 series has a reinforce isolation of 3kVAC, 4.2kVDC, complies with medical isolation standard (2MOOP (250VAC working voltage)) and ruggedized for industrial applications that might implies differential IN/OUT voltage.

This article shows how to use the same components—an IC controller and power train—in two very different topologies: a common buck converter and in an inverting buck-boost converter. In detail, a simple and cost-effective solution for designing positive buck and negative buck-boost converters using the same IC is presented.

TDK Corporation has announced the introduction of its new MPZ2520SPH Series multilayer chip bead for automotive power supply lines. Rated at 12A and measuring only 2.5 x 2.0 x 0.8 mm (L x W x H), it is not only the highest rated current bead, but also compact. Mass production began in February 2023.

The electronics industry is affected by the consequences of the US-Chinese trade war and global political uncertainty. After two strong years in a row, market observers expect growth to slow in 2019. At least one industry is booming.

Australian scientists have reportedly developed a system that enables tests on new designs for next-generation solar cells to be completed in a matter of hours instead of days.

Sustainable energy storage is highly sought after. To meet the high demand, researchers at Uppsala University, Sweden, have developed an all-organic proton battery that can be charged in a matter of seconds.

Skeleton Technologies, a global provider of ultracapacitor energy storage products, and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology have announced that as part of a new partnership, the two companies will be developing a “SuperBattery” that will charge in just 15 seconds.

HiSilicon, the in-house chip design company of Huawei, has reportedly become the first ever semiconductor company in mainland China to enter the top 10 in terms of its global sales.

At the end of the 1980s, Panasonic was one of the world's leading chip manufacturers. Now the Japanese electronics group is withdrawing from the semiconductor market and selling its last remaining chip business "Panasonic Semiconductor" to the Taiwanese company Nuvoton Technology for USD250 million.
