Solar photovoltaic (PV) systems require installation of some type of power electronics to control the flow of energy within the system. For a discussion surrounding ...

My first engineering manager taught me to make sure that my power supply design would work first on paper and then I could breadboard it. That was in 1973 before there were high-integration ICs and ...

Silicon Carbide (SiC) MOSFETs exhibit higher blocking voltage, lower on state resistance and higher thermal conductivity than their silicon counterparts. SiC MOSFETs are designed and essentially ...

Global electricity demand is rising faster than new large power plants can be built, and the cost of that imbalance is showing up in household bills and grid instability. Instead of relying only on ...

If you're looking to learn more about EV batteries, Lucid Motors CEO and CTO Peter Rawlinson may have just delivered the best primer yet. Over roughly 36 minutes, this first video in a series covers ...

These ultra-tiny power modules developed by Texas Instruments, which are 23% smaller than competing devices, also improve power density and efficiency. 1. New power modules built with MagPack ...

Power modules are high-power switching circuits that convert DC- in AC-currents in electric vehicles, renewable energy, and many more applications. New materials [14] and device technologies [14], ...

You may have seen the Ruideng range of programmable power supply modules from China: small and relatively inexpensive switch-mode buck converters, with microprocessor control and a front panel ...

This application note discusses PFC operation and features, basic PFC application, and multiple PFC systems. It also touches lightly on some possible applications as well as some precautions that ...

Current simulation and verification methods for power modules are time-consuming. Each domain has specific solutions based on finite elements analysis, computational fluid dynamics and solvers for ...

The trend of larger photovoltaic modules began in the second half of 2018. At that time, monocrystalline modules using 158.75mm silicon wafers and polycrystalline modules with 166mm silicon wafers ...
