Mechanical switches and actuators are becoming a thing of the past in modern vehicle cockpits. Under the hood, mechanical switching and isolation of high current and voltage connections can now also be replaced by latest SiC semiconductors.

EV uptake is set to increase but ‘range anxiety’ and charge times are still barriers to general acceptance. Wide bandgap semiconductors are enablers for more efficient motor drives and faster charging and new SiC FETs are best performers.

Cloud computing is a myth. That’s not to say that it doesn’t exist, or it doesn’t work, or it hasn’t…

When you think about it, we live in an atypical world. We often hear or use the word ‘typical’ in a way that is synonymous with ‘average’, but in statistical terms, there is guarantee of average occurring even once, so forget about it being typical.

With the pace of innovation in sectors like EV, renewable energy and 5G increasing at a rate of knots, engineers are increasingly looking for new solutions and demanding…

New generations of semiconductor switch technology appear faster and faster and SiC is no exception. In its infancy still, next generations of this wide band-gap technology promise further improvements in efficiency, size and cost in many application areas.
