Efficiency of conversion, especially regarding power usage, is a significant factor. Wide-bandgap semiconductors will contribute significantly to energy efficiency. Silicon carbide and gallium nitride have witnessed increasing success in the semiconductor device market in recent years. GaN is now used in mobile device chargers and charging systems. On the other hand, SiC devices have primarily been used in the field of electric mobility. In 2017, electric-vehicle manufacturers like Tesla chose to use SiC-based motor controllers, which boosted the efficiency of their systems.?
New Generation of eGaN?Technology
By Press Release
EPC has recently lauched a new generation of eGaN technology that doubles performance. The EPC2619 has an RDS(on)?of just 4 mOhms in a tiny, 1.5 mm x 2.5 mm, footprint. The maximum RDS(on)?x Area of the EPC2619 is 15 mΩ*mm2?– five times smaller than 80 V silicon MOSFETs.

Six Ways to Achieve Mass-Market EV Adoption
By Anne-Fran?oise Pelé
As part of the Green Deal, the European Union has set an ambitious goal of achieving?carbon neutrality?by 2050 and has decided to ban the sale of new fossil-fuel cars after 2035. Electric-car unit sales grew last year by nearly 70%, to 2.3 million, but some barriers to electric-vehicle adoption can only be overcome by effective strategies and practices.
The Application and Features of Cincon’s PFC750 AC/DC Power Supply
By Cincon
While the concept of energy saving is popular among industries today, almost all the power supply manufacturers are expecting a breakthrough in the feature of lower power consumption with high efficiency.
According to the “Energy Star” guideline, consumer products over 100 W are suggested to reach at least a 0.9 power factor (PF) to promote energy efficiency. PF is also crucial to reduce energy consumption: The higher it is, the less power wasted on running the devices.
Wireless BMS Enables Smart Battery Ecosystem Solutions
By Stephan Prüfling and Norbert Bieler
Electrification of passenger cars?and commercial vehicles is entering a new phase of market penetration. The shift away from technology feasibility demonstration to the mass production of premium vehicles is obvious. The commercialization of technology leads to more optimized and affordable vehicles.
