GM has filed a patent application for a vehicle window switch design, potentially consolidating multiple window functions ...

Global electricity demand is rising faster than new large power plants can be built, and the cost of that imbalance is ...

The advent of power windows was once the kind of luxury amenity that was worth bragging about, but the way we raise and lower ...

You’re undoubtedly familiar with power-switching devices such as the venerable and still very viable insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT). An enhanced variation is the B-TRAN bipolar junction ...

Ideal Power is aiming to compete with smart IGBT modules, with a 1.2kV 160A (100°C, 240A at 25°C) power module built around its novel ‘B-Tran’ bi-direction semiconductor switch. Called IPA01216DFx-HS, ...

The world’s energy demand is rising, and NREL’s ULIS power module could help meet it. Demand for energy worldwide is climbing rapidly, driven in part by power hungry data centers that support ...

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 ...

Nowadays, the majority of systems have a microcontroller that executes an application program to implement functionality. This controller is also frequently used to provide safety-relevant ...

Small solution sizes and high integration levels are required for extremely space-constrained systems, such as optical modules and solid-state drives (SSDs). While integrated power modules tend to be ...

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], ...

Developing a power module requires enhanced design and verification methods. Currently, multiple iterations are needed to get the design done. Today, design and manufacturing processes are heavily ...
