A typical EV powertrain consists of a battery pack, inverters for power transfer and electric motor(s) through a final reduction drive. For hybrid vehicles and plug-in hybrid vehicles, there are ...

2024 has been a crucial year for the power electronics sector in terms of development, preparing for radical changes in 2025 and beyond. Wide-bandgap (WBG) semiconductors and artificial-intelligence ...

In this episode of PowerUP featuring Alex Lidow, CEO of EPC, we delve into an examination of the revolutionary implications of GaN technology across a range of applications, with a specific focus on ...

Asynchronous motors are primarily used in low-speed applications, such as fans and pumps. Synchronous motors, on the other hand, are designed to rotate at a constant speed synchronized with the ...

One of the more spirited seminars at APEC, due to its topic of GaN versus SiC, was an insightful discussion with many compelling arguments. Wide-bandgap semiconductors—specifically gallium nitride and ...

Infineon’s Marijana Vukicevic discusses the evolving role of MCUs in high-performance motor control and power conversion applications. Welcome to today’s podcast, where we explore the dynamic world of ...

The selection of objects on the schematic. In QSPICE, the selection of objects in electronic schematics is very simple. It is sufficient, in fact, to place the mouse over the desired object to select ...

Wide bandgap materials such as gallium nitride (GaN) are emerging as the technology to take electronic performance to the next level. GaN-based electronic components offer a number of important ...

Another example of a BMS is the BQ76905 from Texas Instruments (see Figure 3), which integrates battery monitoring functionality for 2 to 5 cells in series; a protection circuit that includes voltage, ...

Self-oscillating Topology. One of the most commonly used topologies of class D audio amplifiers is known as self-oscillation. Self-oscillating class D audio amplifiers are characterized by having an ...

ABB offers its planar Soft-Punch-Through (SPT) Insulated-Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) technology 6, which has significantly lower losses and an increased Safe Operating Area (SOA) capability when ...

Changan Automobile has introduced what it claims to be the world’s first commercial gallium nitride (GaN)-based on-board charger (OBC) technology platform, integrated into the newly launched Qiyuan ...
