Qorvo® Introduces 1200V SiC Modules in Compact E1B Package

Led by the 9.4mΩ UHB100SC12E1BC3N, these four SiC modules leverage Qorvo’s unique cascode configuration, which minimizes R_DS(on)and switching losses to maximize efficiency, especially in soft-switching applications.

Silver-sinter die attach reduces thermal resistance to as low as 0.23 °C/W; when combined with the stacked die construction found in the “SC” part numbers, power cycling performance is improved by 2X over comparable SiC power modules on the market.

Siemens Introduces One of the World’s Most Innovative Circuit Protection Devices

For the first time, it is possible to perform detailed condition monitoring of the applications at the final circuit level. This substantially increases availability and operational reliability. The large volume of measurement data enables the detection of irregularities and deviations and creates a reliable planning basis for preventive maintenance.

SENTRON ECPD can be easily integrated into higher-level systems by using the open Modbus TCP standard.

Paving the way for the green AI factory, Infineon’s TDM2254xD dual-phase power modules combine with XDP TMController technology to enable efficient voltage regulation for high-performance computing platforms with superior electrical, thermal and mechanical operation.

The modules’ unique design allows for efficient heat transfer from the power stage on to the heat sink through novel inductor design that is optimized to transfer current and heat, thereby allowing for a 2 percent higher efficiency than industry average modules at full load. Improving power efficiency at the core of a GPU yields significant energy savings at scale.

Circuit Protection Sparks Innovation

Advancements in intelligent fault detection will revolutionize the way we safeguard critical components within power and analog systems.

Traditional protection mechanisms often rely on predefined thresholds or simple triggering mechanisms to identify faults, which leaves room for inefficiencies and delayed responses. With the integration of advanced sensing technologies and real-time monitoring capabilities, future circuit protection systems will proactively detect anomalies and predict potential failures before they happen.

By leveraging high-speed switching devices, these mechanisms can isolate faulty circuits, reroute power paths, or trigger protective measures in a matter of microseconds, minimizing downtime and preventing cascading failures.

The integration of emerging tech like AI holds promise for enhancing the intelligence and adaptability of circuit protection systems. AI algorithms can analyze vast amounts of data from sensors, historical records, and system models to identify complex patterns, anticipate failure modes, and optimize response strategies in real-time. This level of sophistication allows circuit protection systems to evolve dynamically, adapting to changing operating conditions and mitigating risks with unparalleled accuracy and efficiency.
