Ideal Power is aiming to compete with smart IGBT modules, with a 1.2kV 160A (100°C, 240A at 25°C) power module built around its novel ‘B-Tran’ bi-direction semiconductor switch. Called IPA01216DFx-HS, ...

If you want to easily control the power in a circuit, you’ll probably reach for the classic toggle switch. While there’s certainly nothing wrong with that, physical toggles are a bit dated at this ...

Wolfspeed is bringing the power-handling properties of silicon carbide (SiC) to the renewable energy, energy storage, and high-capacity EV fast-charging sectors with its new family of 2,300-V power ...

As circuit power-supply voltages decrease and green energy trends grow in popularity, designers should re-examine some of the circuits that continually consume power, in an effort to reduce overall ...

Microchip has announced a range of integrated power modules for applications including more-electric aircraft (MEA). Output power rating starts at 5kVA. Little hard information is yet available, but ...

This module will teach you what a PowerSwitch Tail II is and develop code for Raspberry Pi to control a light using the device. Additionally, it will explore some other possible uses and improvements ...
