Hard-switching 650-V SiC FETs come in TO220-3L packages
UnitedSiC, a manufacturer of silicon carbide (SiC) power semiconductors, has added two new TO220-3L package options to its growing range of hard-switching UF3C FAST series of 650V SiC FETs. The new products offer RDS(on) values of 30mohms (UF3C065030T3S) and 80mohms (UF3C065080T3S). The three-leaded, industry-standard TO220-3L package features enhanced thermal characteristics made possible by a sintered-silver packaging […]
15 Mbps photocouplers deliver low threshold current for harsh industrial applications
Renesas Electronics Corporation announced three new 15 Mbps photocouplers designed to withstand the harsh operating environments of industrial and factory automation equipment. The trend toward higher voltage, compact systems is driving stricter International safety standards and eco-friendly solutions that require smaller ICs with lower power consumption. The RV1S9x60A family meets this need with best-in-class low […]
LED drivers streamline interior and exterior lighting
Diodes Incorporated introduced two automotive LED drivers that combine robust performance, simplified design, and flexibility to address internal and external lighting applications, such as fog lamps, position lamps, rear lamps, and door lamps. The AL8860Q and AL8861Q have a wide-operating voltage range from 4.5V to 40V to withstand load-dump events and operate correctly at low-cranking […]
High-efficiency inverters target PV, energy storage apps
Compared with traditional 3-level neutral-point-clamped topologies, the advanced neutral-point-clamped (ANPC) inverter design supports an even loss distribution between semiconductor devices. Infineon Technologies AG utilizes the ANPC topology for its hybrid SiC and IGBT power module EasyPACK 2B in the 1200 V family. Optimizing for sweet spot losses of the CoolSiC MOSFET and the TRENCHSTOP IGBT4 […]
Digi-Key to distribute Helix power ICs
Fabless power semiconductor company Helix Semiconductors and Digi-Key, a leading electronic components distributor, today announced that the two companies have entered into a global distribution partnership. Under the terms of the agreement, Digi-Key will distribute Helix Semiconductors’ MxC 200 family of configurable, high-efficiency 15W DC-DC power ICs and evaluation boards worldwide. The MxC 200 family consists of five monolithic, configurable, high-voltage […]
Dimming is a bright spot for new 80-V DC-DC buck LED driver IC
Infineon Technologies AG introduces the new LED driver IC ILD8150/E. It features an innovative hybrid dimming mode technology for achieving 0.5 percent of the target current. With its supply voltage range from 8 V DC up to 80 V DC, the driver IC provides a high safety voltage margin for applications operating close to safe extra-low voltage (SELV) […]
