Maurizio Di Paolo Emilio – Editor-in-Chief
Consumer applications like power adapters and industrial applications like power supplies for data centers and solar inverters have seen widespread adoption. In this article, we will discuss an approach to extending the manufacturing capability of GaN to increase its application space. Moreover, electric cars are gaining more and more space in the automotive market, while the demand for and consumption of energy worldwide continue to grow. Wide bandgap power electronics, batteries, and traction motors will undoubtedly offer an important contribution to the development of electrification. Other topics of this issue include helpful recommendations to address issues with cooling PCBs carrying high-power components, the powertrain of EVs, and testing solutions for advanced HEV/EV Battery Management Systems. We will also take a look at LED lighting and renewable energy. Don't miss my latest PowerUP podcast with Federico Faggin, and our tutorial about power electronics. Enjoy!
In this article, we will discuss an innovative approach to extending the manufacturing capability of GaN to increase its application space, facilitate monolithic integration, and increase wafer diameters in a silicon (Si)-compatible Fab that is not dedicated to silicon.
The PowerUP Expo is a three-day virtual conference and exhibition focusing on power electronics. This technical conference will include sessions including keynotes, panel discussions, technical presentations, and tutorials on a variety of subject matters, including wide bandgap semiconductors, power applications, power conversion and management design trends in low and high power.
The BMS is an essential component of an EV that monitors and measures the battery, including its condition of health and state of charge, to increase EV range.
LED lighting has become a dominant technology for home, commercial, and industrial applications. Some advantages include higher efficiency, long lifetimes with easy maintenance, no mercury or harmful UV radiation, dimming capability with a good color rendering index, and low EMI.
There is an increasing number of global entities supporting the integration of solar and hydropower, and among them are the Sicilian islands of Favignana and Ustica, Italy. This project is called "I-Sole" and aims to develop innovative technical solutions for the generation and distribution of electricity from renewable sources and highly sophisticated storage systems.
The European Chips Skills 2030 Academy program aims to create a European pipeline over the next five years that can train 500,000 microelectronics experts over the next decade.
In this episode with Federico Faggin, an Italian physicist, inventor, and entrepreneur, Maurizio Di Paolo Emilio delves into the fascinating world of energy, power technologies, and quantum physics.
