An European research and industry consortium led by Soitec, a world leader in the design and manufacture of innovative semiconductor materials, has begun work to develop a future generation of high-frequency semiconductors based on Indium Phosphide.

RECOM’s portfolio of products and capabilities is now significantly enhanced. New full custom and standard power conversion solutions addressing high-end markets such as critical industrial automation are now available, leveraging the technology, experience and skills of new acquisition LECO.

Optocouplers are not required for isolated DC-DC. By omitting them, you can simplify your design and reduce the size of the solution with no-opto solutions. For background on where and why isolated DC-DC converters are used and how to overcome the problem of poor output voltage regulation, read this article.

Variable speed drives are widely used in industry and infrastructure applications and play a crucial role in regulating current in motor-based systems such as heating, ventilation, and cooling. In a bid to solve efficiency problems, researchers are turning to SiC/GaN to boost performance.

Wind farms are an incredibly efficient and effective means of gathering renewable energy. Wind turbines now provide up to 7.8% of the world’s electricity. It’s clear that the power of the wind will help us move to a net zero future. But how much do you really know about wind power? We’ve put together 10 surprising facts about wind energy!

Power electronics development tools have come a long way forward, thanks to affordable and ever-increasing, performance wise, digital signal processing solutions. Modeling and simulations, both off-line and more importantly, in the real-time, are essential steps in the development of power electronics solutions.

The hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) market is currently experiencing significant growth, with projections indicating a very strong future. Recent estimates have suggested that the total HIL market value could reach US$2,230.7 million by 2032, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.1% from a market value of US$961.2 million in 2023.

Infineon Technologies AG has developed the world’s first 300 mm power gallium nitride (GaN) wafer technology, marking what some are calling a significant breakthrough in the power semiconductor industry.

Following initial steps taken as part of its strategic review, and in response to a challenging macroeconomic climate, Northvolt adjusts ambitions to focus on ramping up the first 16 GWh production capacity at Northvolt Ett.

Impact Clean Power Technology, an European manufacturer of custom battery systems for heavy-duty transport, machinery and large-scale energy storage, has launched Europe's most modern, highly automated lithium-ion battery production line. The new line will allow the company to increase its generating capacity from 0.6 to 1.2 GWh in 2024, and ultimately to up to 4 GWh.
