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 ...

If the SW switch is closed for a time t 1, at the ends of load R, there is the voltage V s.Conversely, if this switch is open for a time t 2, at the ends of load R, the voltage is 0 V.The rapid ...

The inclusion of the thermal vias is done by selecting this option in the input selection, as shown in Figure 3c. The vias used in this model have a 7.8-mil diameter, with 0.78-mil Cu-plating wall ...

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 ...

Wide bandgap (WBG) semiconductors, such as SiC and GaN, offer important advantages in terms of reliability, energy efficiency, power density, and cost reduction. Power electronics is evolving day by ...

Wafer-level burn-in is a crucial step in WBG semiconductor manufacturing. It involves subjecting the wafers to elevated temperatures and electrical stresses for a specified period, as defined by the ...

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 ...
