To help power supply development, semiconductor companies offer evaluation boards which show a typical application of a power-management IC. This gives design engineers the opportunity to start their ...

ATX power-supply designers tend to favor single-switch forward-converter topologies because they are simple and can power multiple, isolated outputs. However, the drawback of these approaches is that ...

Teledyne e2v HiRel has introduced pair of isolated 650V 4A gate drivers aimed at GaN power transistors, offering 2.5kVrms isolation and 100% ac-dc testing at -55 to 125°C. TDGD271 is a single channel ...

There is a great deal of activity in wide bandgap (WBG) power electronics lately, with Gallium Nitride (GaN) and Silicon Carbide (SiC) devices getting a lot of attention due to the technologies’ ...

The electronics industry is seeing a move toward higher voltages and currents to deliver sufficient supply and charging power in products ranging from handheld cellphones and tablets to workstations.

Switching transistors made from the semiconductor material silicon carbide (SiC) switch with lower losses than conventional MOSFETs. With the MEG Ai1600T PCIE5, the Taiwanese company MSI is now ...

What is claimed to be the industry’s first 1,700V GaN transistor has been announced. Steve Bush interviews Andy Smith, company director of Power Integrations, to find out more about it. The transistor ...
