You’re undoubtedly familiar with power-switching devices such as the venerable and still very viable insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT). An enhanced variation is the B-TRAN bipolar junction ...

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, ...

You may have seen the Ruideng range of programmable power supply modules from China: small and relatively inexpensive switch-mode buck converters, with microprocessor control and a front panel ...

Power modules are high-power switching circuits that convert DC- in AC-currents in electric vehicles, renewable energy, and many more applications. New materials [14] and device technologies [14], ...

As part of the BEYOND5 project, CEA-Leti was responsible for developing a RF power module (FEM) combining three essential RF functions: a power amplifier (PA), which amplifies transmitted signals; a ...

Nowadays, the majority of systems have a microcontroller that executes an application program to implement functionality. This controller is also frequently used to provide safety-relevant ...

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 ...

In this post I will try to gain some insight into the electronics of a cheap PWM Power MOSFET Module. The module under the spotlight is the pretty common FR120N MOSFET Control Module which is a simple ...

Developing a power module requires enhanced design and verification methods. Currently, multiple iterations are needed to get the design done. Today, design and manufacturing processes are heavily ...
