Editor's Note

The industry is beginning to strongly embrace the benefits (performance/cost) of wide bandgap materials such as gallium nitride (GaN) and silicon carbide (SiC). Power semiconductors based on GaN and SiC technologies provide a path to efficient power supply across industrial environments while also complementing the expansion of the renewable energy segment. In the coming years, we will increasingly see a trend towards more monolithic integration of functions within GaN-based power devices, and SiC FETs solutions that include integrated gate drivers, temperature and current sense and speed control. Vehicle electrification and 5G communications will be major topics. Electric vehicles present many new opportunities for high-power GaN and SiC products. Accessing the quality and durability of electronic devices is done by testing and measuring the staying power. Testing to evaluate Gallium Nitride (GaN) or Silicon Carbide value is imperative, because of its immense potential since its inception to achieve more efficient power conversion, as the key disruptor in power electronics applications.

What’s next for Power Electronics 2021 – Power Management and Smart Energy

For several years, the growing need for power quality in distribution systems, together with the large-scale integration of renewable energy sources, has increased the demand for new technologies driven by the advent of new wide bandgap materials. 

What’s next for Power Electronics 2021 – Wide Bandgap Semiconductors

The impressive qualities of GaN and SiC have made them endearing to the industry insiders. GaN and SiC are designated wide bandgap (WBG) semiconductors based on the energy required to shift electrons in these materials from the valence to the conduction band.

An Overview of Electric Vehicles technology and market

The electric vehicles (EVs) revolution is speeding up the trend towards a more sustainable future. EVs make use of at least three types of electronic units for energy conversion.

Finding Relationships between Power Rail Noise and Jitter

To get to the root cause of bit errors, jitter analysis is the best starting point but in some cases power rail analysis can help get to the true root cause. To get to the bottom of bit errors, we look at jitter and power rail noise in both the time and frequency domains.
