Computational experiments on semiconducting polymers carried out by researchers at Lehigh University have shown that the addition of small molecules enhances performance and stability when a material is under harsh loading conditions such as stretching and compression.

Cambridge GaN Devices Ltd is leading a €10.3m European project with 13 European partners with a view to delivering the most energy efficient gallium nitride power modules for low- and high-power applications seen yet.

New Form Litz Wire winding technology for traction motors significantly increases the efficiency of the complete EV powertrain system while reducing the cost of the drive system compared to current electric motor windings. By simply adapting the hairpin production line, it is possible to bring about 25% less energy loss in the electric motor.

Pronounced as “Risk Five” in the world of chipmakers, the RISC-V “Reduced Instruction Set Computer” is all set to take over the decade’s new-age AI hardware. RISC-V chips are open-source royalty-free hardware used for high-processing AI and ML applications with exceptional customization options. The article explains the importance of RISC-V and the quest of giant chip makers to revolutionize open-source hardware.

Voltage regulators are integrated circuits designed to regulate the voltage at their input to a constant, fixed voltage at their output, irrespective of changes in load current or input voltage.

Mitsubishi Electric Corporation has announced it has developed what is believed to be the world’s first* gallium nitride (GaN) power amplifier that achieves a frequency range of 3,400 MHz using a single power amplifier, which the company has demonstrated can be used for 4G, 5G and Beyond 5G/6G communication systems operating at different frequencies in a single base station.

Threshold hysteresis is needed to obtain a smooth and chatter-free lockout function even in the presence of supply noise or resistance. After discussing a simple UVLO/OVLO circuit, this article will present some simple methods for adding threshold hysteresis, which is necessary when the default value is insufficient.

On May 18, state and local officials will celebrate the opening of a new, state‑of‑the‑art power module manufacturing facility. The world’s first ChiP (Converter housed in Package) fabrication facility, or “ChiP fab” enables scalable, automated, cost-effective manufacturing of power modules in the United States.

PCIM Asia will be held at the New International Expo Centre in Shanghai from October 26-28, 2022. The show will continue to provide a platform for exchanging ideas, showcasing technologies and expanding business networks. This will be achieved through gathering the latest power electronics suppliers and by exploring the latest trends through the fair’s concurrent programme.

Vicor Corporation provided high-performance power modules to URE helping them achieve their lightest vehicle ever for their teams 20th year anniversary. Chosen for their small and lightweight characteristics, the Vicor modules efficiently step down the high voltage accumulator's power from 400V-600V to 27V-38V. Get more details here.
