Why wide bandgap HEMTs excel at efficient power conversion
High electron mobility transistors reduce power supply size thanks to special make-up that eliminates sources of energy loss. Andrea Bricconi | Wei Deng, Infineon Technologies AG It is an exciting time for power supply designers. We are learning how devices based on wide bandgap (WBG) materials such as silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride-on-silicon (GaN-on-Si) […]
Single-channel IGBT/MOSFET gate-driver ICs get UL 1577 certification
Infineon Technologies AG now offers the EiceDRIVER 1EDC Compact 300 mil family of single channel gate driver ICs. With an insulation test voltage of V ISO = 2500 V(rms) for 60 sec these galvanically isolated drivers are recognized under UL 1577. Due to their high switching frequency of up to 1,000 kHz they do not only drive IGBTs, […]
