What’s new: onsemi has announced the completed expansion of its largest, state-of-the-art silicon carbide (SiC) fabrication facility in Bucheon, South Korea.

The California 2022 Building Energy Efficiency Standards are the first US building codes to mandate solar for new residential homes. With legislative efforts being made to enact similar standards in other regions, it should be no surprise that the solar market is projected to have incredible growth over the next decade.  This white paper examines the main components of residential solar systems and suggests some power solutions from o...

Housed in either SOIC−8 or TSOP−6 packages, the NCP1623A is an extremely compact PFC controller designed to optimize the efficiency of your PFC stage throughout the load range. It also incorporates protection features for a rugged operation. More generally, NCP1623A is ideal in systems where cost−effectiveness, reliability, high power−factor and efficiency ratios are key requirements. This paper describes the key steps to...

For applications such as security and surveillance, body cameras, doorbell cameras and robotics there is a high demand for image sensors to work under harsh imaging conditions for both image viewing and machine vision use−cases. Harsh imaging conditions could include scenarios with high dynamic range scenes, moving objects or LED flickering conditions. Making it difficult scenes to accurately capture by cameras.

For high−voltage switching power applications, silicon carbide or SiC MOSFETs bring notable advantages compared to traditional silicon MOSFETs and IGBTs. Switching high−voltage power rails in excess of 1,000 V, operating at hundreds of kHz is non−trivial and beyond the capabilities of even the best superjunction silicon MOSFETs.  This paper highlights the unique device characteristics associated with SiC MOSFETs. Cri...
