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 ...

In 2004, Intel specified a standard integrated Driver-MOSFET (DrMOS) device for use in a typical PC platform. This specification’s goal was to provide features for an integrated device to produce the ...

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 ...

A stacked DBC packaging method utilizes mutual inductance cancellation effects to significantly reduce parasitic inductance. With the current path increased by one-fold, SiC power modules allow for ...

Power modules are the foundation of modern electrical systems, especially within electric vehicles (xEVs), industrial motor applications, and renewable energy solutions such as wind and solar power.

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 ...
