Capacitorless solid-state power filter for single-phase DC-AC converters

Researchers in the US have developed a solid-state filter for power converters that does not need a capacitor. Capacitors are one of the main points of failure in an e-mobility power system, responsible for 30% of failures in power electronics.

First Schottky diode for high-voltage DC links

Infineon has created the first 2000 V Schottky diode for high-voltage (HV) DC link designs, writes Nick Flaherty. The CoolSiC 2000 V G5 is the first discrete silicon-carbide diode with this breakdown voltage, making it suitable for DC links up to 1500 V with current ratings from 10-80 A. This makes it ideal for higher DC-link voltage applications.

Bespoke chips for drivetrains

STMicroelectronics has launched a family of microcontroller chips designed specifically for electrified drivetrains (writes Nick Flaherty). The Stellar P microcontrollers are automotive qualified and combine the CAN-XL in-car comms standard to handle the demand for more real-time data with actuation functions. The controllers are built on a 28 nm fully depleted silicon-on-insulator (FD SOI) process. […]

Tunnel devices come into the light

Murata has launched its first series of high-performance coreless current sensors using tunnel magneto-resistive (TMR) elements (writes Nick Flaherty). The MRD series of open-loop current sensors integrates high-performance TMR elements. These use a magneto-resistive effect that occurs in a magnetic tunnel junction composed of two ferromagnets separated by a thin insulator. The insulator, typically a […]
