Gallium Nitride technology plays a crucial role in enabling power electronics to reach the highest levels of performance. However, Gallium Nitride suppliers have thus far taken different approaches to package types and sizes, leading to fragmentation and lack of multiple footprint-compatible sources for customers.

When simulating complicated switching converters like 3-phase PFCs, you want to ensure the selected SPICE models of the SiC transistors are doing the right job. There is nothing more frustrating than a long simulation ending with wrong waveforms because the models were bad. This article shows how a simple double-pulse test can let you check if a given SPICE model is faithfully matching the data-sheet parameters or, on the contrary, needs to be replaced by another subcircuit model.

Leaders exist at all levels in organizations, and while women hold leadership positions, they are under-represented at most senior levels. Many surveys and research indicate that over 60 percent of respondents feel that men still have an advantage when it comes to reaching senior leadership position.

Data center maintenance teams have a big share in safeguarding the critical resource that customers and businesses depend upon. They can utilize thermal imaging to identify potential problems early, preventing major disruptions.
