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 […]
Tiny, dual-channel PPTC protects network and telecom equipment
Littelfuse, Inc. announced a new series of 250V Telecom PPTCs designed to help make telecom and network equipment more reliable. The TSM250-130 series protects against power cross and induced power surges as defined in ITU, Telcordia GR1089 and IEC 62368-1. Because it combines two resistance-matched PPTCs in a single surface-mount housing, it reduces the board […]

Advanced circuit protection for connected autonomous vehicles
New protocols for high connectivity need robust protection for reliability and safety. James Colby | Littelfuse, Inc. At the turn of the century, automobiles hosted many electronic systems that were basically independent. Since then, the growth of connectivity and rise of artificial intelligence and machine learning have changed automotive electronics dramatically. Vehicles of all types […]
Temperature indicators protect cables with bilateral USB Type-C connectors
Littelfuse, Inc. announced an expanded PolySwitch setP series of digital temperature indicators, designed to protect USB Type‑C and USB power delivery charging cables from dangerous overheating. The newest addition to the product family, the SETP0805-100-CC, is optimized for use in cables equipped with USB Type-C connectors at both ends. Typical applications for SETP0805-100-CC temperature indicators include […]
Why it’s tough to characterize SiC power MOSFETs
Switching transients and parasitics can combine to thwart the accurate measurement of important MOSFET operating parameters. Levi Gant, Xuning Zhang, Ph.D., Littelfuse, Inc. Silicon carbide (SiC) power MOSFETs get a lot of attention because they can switch fast while maintaining high blocking voltages. But their superior switching qualities also have potential drawbacks. Parasitic inductances caused […]
