onsemi will Integrate its EliteSiC MOSFETS into Sineng’s Utility-Scale Solar Inverter

onsemi is working with Sineng Electric to bring a utility-scale solar inverter to market. The initiative is a collaboration between the two companies and will launch the first 200kW Energy Storage System (ESS).

The two companies announced the collaboration just 21 days ago.

CoolGaN 600 V GIT HEMT Portfolio is Delivering High Performance and Quality

Infineon has developed the latest in GaN-integrated power stage (IPS) devices including the GIT-HEMT devices. The IPS devices offer more flexibility to meet specific needs in development.

The discrete CoolGaN GIT-HEMT devices are available in DSO-20-85, DSO-20-87, HSOF-8-3, LSON-81, and TSON-8 packages.

Renesas RAA210130 is a Fully PMBus Enabled Step Down Power Supply

Renesas has developed a power supply that is capable of delivering up to 30A of current from a compact 10mm x 13mm x 7.8mm thermally enhanced BGA package.

The RAA210130 operates across an input voltage range of 4.75V to 15V. The power supply offers adjustable output voltages down to 0.45V with a 96% efficiency according to Renesas.

The Way Forward in Power Components is a bit Cloudy

Circuit Cellar fans, let's talk about the SiC, Si, and GaN jumble.

In many respects, the trending articles on the semiconductor front have been that there is a war between the material base for semiconductors.

It is cloudy at best, due to a number of factors, not the least of which is availability. Not all materials are applicable to all types of applications. The cost of GaN mining is higher than that of silicon manufacture, and the elements are similar and could work together. The truth is, there is a murky relationship between silicon manufacturers and the Gallium Nitride developers. The resistance is seen as wavering, but it still exists.

The largest SiC and Si manufacturers are hanging on to their products with an iron grip.

While the GaN developers are pushing low cost and reduced sizes for the same overall processing and output capabilities. And this struggle is producing some unlikely innovations and advancements in all three materials' processing and manufacturing. Read more about this in the newsletter articles. Let's keep this conversation going. Have a thought? Let me know.
