Cambridge GaN Devices has patented a technique for lowering losses in 100kW+ IGBT-based vehicle traction drives, at lower cost than all-silicon-carbide inverters, it said. It involves connecting GaN ...

Intelligent soft switching with AI support promises to reduce switching losses in power transistors by up to 95 per cent.

Properties of wide-bandgap materials, with a focus on SiC. How a bridgeless totem-pole topology can help cut losses. A breakdown of the half-bridge inverter topology The efficiency of power-conversion ...

CREE has developed a new MOSFET that could be suitable for silicon-carbide-based string inverters above 10 kW in size. The U.S. manufacturer says switching losses are 20% lower with the new transistor ...

The internet is full of such schematics, so this project is nothing special. I try to make it special by providing more explanations and oscilloscope pictures than usually given. The aim of all such ...

Transistors are tiny electronic components that act as switches and amplifiers, and they dwell at the heart of modern technology. In simple terms, a transistor can turn a flow of electricity on or off ...

German inverter manufacturer Kaco new energy, a subsidiary of German industrial conglomerate Siemens, has unveiled two string inverters for applications in large-scale PV projects. The two ...
