Evaluation platforms help pick SiC components in power conversion circuits. Xuning Zhang, Levi Gant, Littelfuse, Inc. The quest for greener energy production and consumption has put a premium on high-efficiency power circuitry. In that regard, many modern power supplies and converters operate at much higher voltages that allow use of lower currents to minimize I2R […]
Gate-drive eval platform accelerates SiC-based power converter design cycle
The Gate Drive Evaluation Platform (GDEV) helps designers evaluate SiC MOSFETs, SiC Schottky diodes, and other peripheral components like gate driver circuitry, so they can better understand how silicon carbide technologies will behave in converter applications under continuous operating conditions. The GDEV offers quick-connect header-pin terminals that allow for rapid and consistent comparison of different […]
Pulsed laser diode demo board targets flash Lidar apps
EPC announces the availability of the EPC9144, a 15 V, 28 A high current pulsed laser diode driver demonstration board. In time-of-flight systems, speed and accuracy of object detection is critical. As demonstrated on this board, the rapid transition capability of the AEC Q101-qualified EPC2216 provides power pulses to drive laser diodes, VCSELs or LEDs […]
