Transformations and trends across the EV industry, and Silicon Photonics finds its killer application

How CATL's US$57/kWh Battery Would Transform Electric CAM Machines

Despite the reduction in operating costs offered by electric CAM machines, our discussions with customers have found the upfront cost is still too high to convince them to switch. Could a significant reduction in CATL battery prices change all that?

Read more about this potential game-changer.


The Emerging Adoption and Future Trends of SiC and GaN in EVs

SiC MOSFETs have seen an incredible surge in adoption in the past 5 years and GaN HEMTs, a more nascent technology, could be the next major disruptor in the EV market. So, where will we see SiC and GaN take hold in the power electronics market?

Find out more about the market status, challenges, and future opportunities for SiC MOSFETs and GaN HEMTs.

Data Centers Are Already Silicon Photonics' Killer Application

Data centers power the digital world, from storing images of cute cats to analyzing terabytes of data to power the next generation of ChatGPT. As the volume of data generated and processed continues to soar, traditional electronic interconnects such as copper ethernet have already reached their limits.

Our analyst explains why this has led to extensive use of Silicon Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) in data centers, and how AI is making the role of PICs even more critical.

IDTechEx is forecasting that PIC-based pluggable transceiver performance will continue in line with Keck's law, with the data that the data rate of fiber doubles approximately every 18 months. Source: IDTechEx
