Texas Instruments introduced the first 3-channel high-side linear automotive light-emitting diode (LED) controller without internal MOSFETs which gives designers greater flexibility for their lighting designs. The TPS92830-Q1’s novel architecture enables higher power and better thermal dissipation than conventional LED controllers, and are particularly beneficial for automotive LED lighting applications that require high performance and reliability.

Basics of cooling transistors, IGBTs,
and power FETs with heat sinks and PCBs
By Chris Francis When designing any electronics that consumes a significant amount of power you need to consider where that power is going to go. With power electronics –such as IGBTs, power FETs, or power transistors — you might be expecting most of it to end up in your load but there will be some which doesn’t. Even […]
