MOSFET pushes performance boundary to the next level
Infineon Technologies' latest high voltage Superjunction MOSFET technology has been released. The 600V CoolMOS CFD7 completes the CoolMOS 7 series. This new MOSFET addresses the high power SMPS market for resonant topologies. It offers efficiency and reliability in soft switching topologies like LLC and ZVS PSFB.
Step down power supply masters common automotive challenges
A new DC/DC converter from ROHM Semiconductor has been announced named BD9V100MUF-C. It features a built-in MOSFET that can generate output voltages of just 3.3 or 5V (minimum 2.5V) from input voltages up to 60V at a switching frequency of 2MHz.
Cheers! Flexible electronics smartens up packaging
A smart beer label is not necessarily one that tells you when you have had enough, but one that can use push marketing to prompt drinkers to collect money off vouchers, via a smart label.
Antennae operate across all standards for wireless power transfer
For higher efficiency and smaller form factors in wirelessly power devices, Nucurrent's patented low resistance antennae, are the basis for customised designs and prototypes developed with customers to bring wireless power to new strucutres, such as furniture, as well as conventional consumer electronics and wearables.
