USB-PD 3.2: Key Updates and Impact - Power Electronics News
May 29, 2024 · USB-PD R3.2 introduces significant changes. While the required current is the same as in R3.1, AVS is now required for Standard Power Range (SPR).
Understanding the EV Powertrain - Power Electronics News
Apr 13, 2023 · 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 additional components in the powertrain, like an ICE, dedicated transmission and exhaust system.
Infineon Bidirectional GaN Switches Improve Power Conversion
Nov 26, 2024 · At the recent PowerUP and Fortronic Conference & Exhibition, Infineon Technologies gave a presentation 1 on its bidirectional switches (BDSes) based on gallium nitride, showing how they can improve the design of power conversion systems and ultimately enable a single-stage power conversion topology.. Infineon’s monolithic bidirectional GaN HEMTs, built on its CoolGaN technology, represent a ...
Silicon Carbide (SiC): 10 Things to Know - Power Electronics News
Mar 17, 2021 · 3. Why SiC overcomes Si in power applications? Despite being the most widely used semiconductor in electronics, silicon is beginning to show some limitations, especially in high-power applications.
Boost Converter: Design, Circuit, Equations & More - Power …
Apr 20, 2018 · Boost Converter Design. In most any power supply schematic, the inputs are on the left and power flow is towards the load on the right. A boost is a little more than a backwards buck, though, so for a moment, let’s imagine that V-in and V-out in this schematic were reversed.

Low Power Design - Power Electronics News
Aug 27, 2024 · Low-power electronics is a rapidly evolving field critical to addressing today’s energy challenges. All devices, from mobile phones to electric vehicles, are involved in this progress.Efficiency is the watchword, guiding the key principles of low-power design, with the emerging technologies and strategies to maximize energy efficiency in all …
Comparing N-Channel and P-Channel MOSFETs: Which is best for …
May 28, 2024 · To achieve a similar on-state resistance R DS(on) as n-channel MOSFETs, p-channel MOSFETs require a two to three-times larger die size. As a result, in more high-current applications, where low conduction losses are critical, the large die p-channel MOSFETs with very low R DS(on) are not the optimal choice.. While the p-channel device’s larger chip size offers improved thermal performance ...
Electric Motors: The Key to Energy Efficiency and Sustainability
Nov 18, 2024 · 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 frequency of electrical supply and are used in applications requiring high-speed precision, such as wind power generators and gas turbines.
