Silicon carbide in electric vehicles stands for more efficiency, higher power density and performance. Particularly with an 800V battery system and a large battery capacity, silicon carbide leads to a higher efficiency in inverters and thus enables longer ranges or lower battery costs.

Torex Semiconductor has launched five new products of XP22x series (20 Withstand Voltage) for N-channel MOSEFET. The products which released this time are general-purpose MOSFET with low on resistance and high-speed switching.

Diodes Incorporated has announced the AP61100Q, a 5.5V, one amp continuous output current, automotive-compliant, synchronous buck converter for point of load (POL) applications. With a fully integrated 110mΩ high-side power MOSFET and 80mΩ low-side power MOSFET, it provides high-efficiency step-down DC/DC conversion from five and 3.3V input rails.

Texas Instruments (TI) has introduced a small buck-boost charger integrated circuits, which integrate power-path management for maximum power density and universal and fast charging at up to 97% efficiency. The BQ25790 and BQ25792 support efficient charging and ten times lower quiescent current through USB Type-C and USB Power Delivery (PD) ports in small personal electronics, portable medical devices and building automation applications.

Infineon Technologies has added another industry standard package to its CoolSiC MOSFET 1,200V module family. The proven CoolSiC  62mm device has been designed in half-bridge topology and is based on the trench chip technology

In line with the world’s rapidly advancing 5G cellular wireless networks, Flex Power Modules is working closely with both OpenRAN, and O-RAN Alliance, a global community of more than 160 mobile operators, vendors, and research and academic institutions operating in the Radio Access Network (RAN) industry.

  As gate drivers are now capable of efficiently meeting large Qg requirements and faster switching topologies create smaller, more efficient systems, some often ignored parameters have now become system-critical.

Mornsun’s 4th generation of R4 Series DC/DC converters are now available from Relec Electronics in ultra-miniature DFN packages, measuring just 9.0x7.0x3.1mm.

GaN Systems has announced its participation at PCIM Europe Digital Days, taking place 7th–8th July, 2020. CEO Jim Witham will participate in two panel sessions, 'GaN Devices - The Game-Changers' and 'Power GaN: Past-Present-Future', illustrating how GaN power semiconductors are becoming the fundamental building block in power electronics.

STMicroelectronics has announced that it is facilitating modernisation of battery-powered products to capture the advantages of the latest USB Power Delivery (USB PD) technology including faster charging and easy reuse of USB-C chargers and cables.
