Sponsored 12th April 2022 5G mmWave RF Flex-to-Board Connectors Read more Receptacle center shield isolates each row, contributing to a good signal integrity performance for 5G (Sub6, mmWave) and other high-speed applications. The armored split nail protects the connector from damage during mating and allows for dual-use as Power or Ground.

Sponsored 14th April 2022 Accurate next-generation simulations for rapid prototyping of power electronic designs Read more Nexperia’s new advanced electrothermal models for MOSFETs accurately represent both the static and dynamic characteristics of the device. A powerful tool which provides design engineers with the capability of accurate circuit and system level simulations to assess the electrical, thermal and EMC performance before committing to build a prototype.

Sponsored 11th April 2022 12V Nonstop – DC UPS with integrated 10-Year LiFePO4 battery pack Read more The BICKER UPSI-1208DP3 with particularly safe, powerful and durable LiFePO4 battery technology guarantees an uninterrupted 12VDC power supply at all times. With up to 6,000 full cycles, LiFePO4 has a service life and cycle stability that is approx. 15-20 times longer than that of lead-acid batteries and is therefore convincing with its low TCO (Total Cost of Ownership). The intelligent DC UPS with USB interface offers extended functionality and monitoring via free 'UPSGen2 Configuration' software.

Sponsored 9th April 2022 A Guideline on the Usage of an Isolated Gate Driver to Efficiently Drive SiC MOSFETs Read more This application note provides guidance on how to design the power supply topology of NCP5156x family isolated gate drivers when using Silicon Carbide (SiC) MOSFETs.As new power transistors, such as SiC MOSFETs, are being increasingly used in power electronics systems, it has become necessary to use special drivers. This application note focuses on optimization the design of gate driving voltage for speed to minimize switching losses and to get the full benefit of the devices.

Sponsored 13th April 2022 A Matter Of Interoperability Read more The next 20 years will see homes changing more than over the hundred preceding them. Homes will expand in the activities they enable and support. Most crucially, with real time integration into the wider environment and economy, homes will increasingly respond to the needs of individuals, societies, economies, and the planet.  This paper examines the potential for the Matter specification to bring in-home interoperability to smart home systems and its ability to drive broadscale industry and consumer engagement.
