Maurizio Di Paolo Emilio – Editor-in-Chief
This issue emphasizes the importance of semiconductors within the automobile industry, particularly in the context of electrifying the most recent iterations of cars. In the last few years, semiconductor products such as GaAs (gallium arsenide) and, more recently, wide band gap materials such as SiC (silicon carbide) and GaN (gallium nitride) have replaced silicon in a large variety of applications. They are accelerating e-mobility and enabling large-scale deployment of electric vehicles (EVs). Another topic of this newsletter is ultra-wide bandgap (UWBG) semiconductors. With bandgap energies well above those of GaN (3.4 eV) and SiC (3.2 eV), they represent a new frontier in semiconductor materials, promising to improve the overall features of WBG even further. Other topics are a novel switch-mode post-regulator for high-slew pulse-current applications, and machine learning to predict parasitic and bio-fuels. Don't miss
the latest Wine Down Friday with Finwave CEO and our PowerUP Podcast with Geoff Haynes, QPT
Advisor.
This article highlights the importance of semiconductors in the automotive sector and in electrifying the latest generation of vehicles. Tiny semiconductor chips underpin how modern electronics work and enable high comfort standards in electric cars, which are now the hub of a green future.
UWBG materials like diamond, boron nitride, or gallium oxide, have excellent properties that may result in future products with mind-boggling performances in various fields.
Electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) is required everywhere to meet drivers' requirements to embrace electric vehicles. The roll-out of a ubiquitous, safe, and easy charging experience for EV users is of utmost importance. This webinar will present a platform approach to build solutions for Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 EVSE equipment.
AMC131M03 increases system reliability with integrated data and power isolation that boosts isolation performance to 5000 VRMS, providing protection from high voltages while reducing solution size by 74%. Featuring a 64 kSPS data rate and 1% gain error, AMC131M03 is the industry’s fastest and most accurate current and voltage sensing isolated ADC for e-metering.
In this podcast with Geoff Haynes, Advisor at QPT, we will analyze how GaN transistors have long been celebrated for their remarkable high frequency switching capabilities.
The analog engineer’s calculator is designed to speed up many of the repetitive calculations that analog circuit design engineers use on a regular basis.
Manufacturers of circuit protection devices continue to miniaturize and extend performance as designers look for space savings and improved protection.
