Modern power electronics systems typically involve sophisticated designs while being critical to the reliability and safety of their target environments. Due to their internal components’ complex interactions and behaviors, simulation is often the only way to predict their performance.*

High-voltage tests on electric vehicles are expensive. But boxing equipment is not very practical and often heavy. A rack-mountable measuring device based on the PXI platform promises a remedy.

With the Cyber Resilience Act, the EU Commission is tackling the necessary task of standardizing product requirements for cyber security and raising the level of resilience in the the EU. This regulation will affect all digital products in the European single market. The draft submitted is an important step, but the definition of "critical products" leaves room for maneuver.

Power Integrations has announced a 900-volt gallium-nitride (GaN) extension to the company’s InnoSwitch3™ family of flyback switcher ICs. Get more details from this article.

Electronics fail earlier than they should, because humidity seeps into their sealed housings. Reliability tests are conducted to prevent that from happening. Now, researchers at Fraunhofer IZM teamed up with the European Center for Power Electronics to learn more about the climatic conditions inside electronic systems. Read more about this here.

NeoCortec, manufacturer of ultra-low-power bi-directional wireless mesh network modules, has announced the release of Version 1.5 of its NeoMesh protocol. The new software reduces power consumption, and improves monitoring and network stability.

What exactly is a sodium-ion battery, what makes them different from mainstream alternatives like lithium-ion batteries, and what sort of applications could they help to transform? We’re going to explore all this and more in this comprehensive breakdown of this potential breakthrough battery technology.

York University researchers have discovered a way to make Lithium-powered batteries more environmentally friendly while retaining performance, stability, and storage capacity.

In the electronics industry, organic solar cells could be used for a range of valuable applications, particularly in the development of wearable devices. Now, scientists at Japan’s Okayama University have reported what they claim to be the first instance of an electrochemical reaction that produces thienoacenes, useful materials that are used in organic solar cells.

One of the most obscure of power electronics components is the inductor: the coil-like structures that you find in most circuits. It’s down to these and their properties that transformers and other power electronics circuits work.
