According to independent consulting and research organization IDTechEX, any vehicle manufacturer without a compelling line up of electric vehicles by 2025 is signing its “death warrant.” It’s not ...

It has been assumed that we are approaching the performance limits of silicon-based power electronics. Researchers have now challenged this belief by developing a miniaturized silicon insulated gate ...

This application note presents a numerical algorithm for IGBTs that operate in switch mode power circuits in order to determine its losses. The design example uses a 600 W zero-current switching boost ...

Local power that is available for protection circuits, such as desaturation detection. Among the disadvantages of this type of driver are the cost, complexity and board space required for all the ...

Simulations are typically conducted before the prototype design phase in order to reduce development efforts not only in the automotive and industrial equipment markets. Even when designing electronic ...
