Würth Elektronik has extended the product families of its MagI3C power modules with the MagI3C-FIMM Fixed Isolated MicroModule. It combines the features of an isolated power module with those of a MicroModule in an LGA-7 package: It represents one of the best modules in the portfolio of fully isolated modules - with an efficiency up to 91 %.

Allegro MicroSystems, a provider of power and sensing semiconductor technology for motion control and energy-efficient systems, announced that BMW Group has selected Allegro as the sole Current Sensor IC supplier for BMW Group’s traction inverter systems used across the company’s entire fleet of Battery Electric Vehicles.

Analog Devices, Inc., a global semiconductor specialist, has announced a new €630 million investment at its European regional headquarters in the Raheen Business Park in Limerick, Ireland. The investment enables the construction of a new, state-of-the-art, 45,000 sq-ft Research & Development and manufacturing facility.

Canon announced the launch of the FPA-1200NZ2C nanoimprint semiconductor manufacturing equipment, which executes circuit pattern transfer, the most important semiconductor manufacturing process. Further details in the Article.

Nexperia, the essential semiconductor powerhouse, is now almost six years old. Since its inception revenue has doubled, to USD 2.1bn, enabling investments globally in capacity as well as R&D to develop new, unique products. Mark Roeloffzen, SVP and General Manager Bipolar Discretes, tells us how the company sees itself and the semiconductor market changing in the future.

Driven by digitzation, the demand placed on data centers is increasing rapidly and will continue to do so over the next few years, as will the power demand alongside it. In his PCIM Europe keynote, Huawei’s Roland Hümpfner considers potential future solutions.

TDK Corporation presents the CLT32 series power inductors with extremely compact dimensions and excellent electrical values thanks to their new design. This article shows, what other features the new series has to offer.

The global food industry is a high energy consumer; a situation it must address to reduce carbon footprint and save costs.This article looks at three possible ways to improve sustainability; buying green energy, building or investing in renewable energy sources, and upgrading onsite equipment and processes to improve efficiency.

A team of physicists from Stony Brook University in the United States, led by Jennifer Cano PhD, has created a brand-new type of material. Layered by two structures, it forms a superlattice which at high temperatures is a highly efficient insulator that is capable of conducting current without wasting heat.

Loop Energy has completed third-party validation of the use of its patented eFlow technology in PEM electrolyzers. Testing was conducted by the German Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE, and has demonstrated a fuel cell architecture with trapezoid flow field design can enhance temperature uniformity. When incorporated into conventional PEM electrolysis cells, this bipolar plate architecture demonstrates it can increase hydrogen production.
