The overall WFE (Wafer Fab Equipment ) SiC manufacturing tool market is expected to peak at $5 billion by 2026 because of massive capacity expansion. In view of the growing SiC device revenue forecast, players have been investing significant amounts in advance. The intrinsic properties of SiC material require specific tools and processes. Transition from […]
“Similar products can often struggle to obtain accurate readings due to high capacitance levels and are incapable of recording data continuously without overheating,” claimed the company. “Having to disconnect an I-V curve tracer until it cools down is disruptive. PVA-1500HE2 operates with a swift sweep-to-sweep delay of 9s at open-circuit voltage below 1,350V. This results […]
It enables small module designs with reduced component count for improved safety and electrification: high voltage interlocks, charging flaps, seatbelts, hood/trunk, gear tooth sensing, or brake-by-wire applications. For traditional safety automotive latches and switches, ranging from door and boot/trunk handles to seatbelts and brake light switches, the standard design uses a mechanical contact or […]
The SLA36385A series has a 5 x 9mm footprint and 9.5mm height, and yet the components can handle up to 230A. Inductances range across 35 to 470nH. “The 35nH component can handle more than 200A, with approximately 20% roll off”, said the company. Resistance can be as low as 125μΩ and operational frequency as high […]
The package, SSO10T, has a 10μm gap instead of a thermal pad on the PCB side, and around 95% of heat will leave through the top, according to the company, typically to the ECU housing or a cold-plate. It is expected to be used with a thermal interface pad to accommodate tolerance between PCB and […]
Artist impression of the quantum experiment. Credit: University of Southampton Scientists are a step closer to unraveling the mysterious forces of the universe after working out how to measure gravity on a microscopic level. Experts have never fully understood how the force that was discovered by Isaac Newton works in the tiny quantum world. Even […]
(a) Cumulative success probabilities and filling fractions for a defect-free target pattern of 225 atoms in a cluster of 15×15 sites. (b) Site-resolved filling fraction without supercharging before (i) and after (ii) the first assembly cycle. (c) Site-resolved filling fraction with supercharging before (iii) and after (iv) the first assembly cycle and after five assembly cycles (v). (d) Site-resolved filling […]
It has been used to create the YQ series of rectifier diodes, available in surface-mount packages from 0.5 x 1mm to TO-263 with ratings between 1A and 30A. Most of them are available with automotive qualification. Leakage is impressive, with even the biggest (YQ30NL10SEFH) leaking only 150μA (25°C, 100V) and the smallest 6μA. Forward drop […]
It “can be employed in 48V or 60V battery management systems, as well as for high-side load switch applications in bidirectional converters and switching circuits in power systems”, according to the company, which sees it being used in home batteries, portable charging station, e-scooters and e-bikes. Called INV100FQ030A, it has two drains, a gate, and […]
