Silicon-carbide (SiC) MOSFETs have made significant inroads in the power semiconductor industry thanks to a range of benefits over silicon-based switches. These include faster switching, higher ...

An effective power circuit consists of more than just stationary components like SiC and GaN MOSFETs. The gate driver, an autonomous component, precedes the electronic switches and guarantees optimal ...

NXP Semiconductors is supplying a family of isolated gate-driver ICs to control the silicon-carbide (SiC) power switches at the heart of ZF Friedrichshafen’s next-gen electric-vehicle (EV) traction ...

If you are going to use a silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFET (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor) in your next development, you will ask yourself: how do I develop the best gate driver for it ...

LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The global gate driver IC market is expected to grow at a CAGR of close to 7% during the period 2018-2022, according to a new market research study by Technavio. The report ...

KAWASAKI, Japan--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation ("Toshiba") has started mass production of "TB9103FTG," a gate driver IC [1] for automotive brushed DC motors, ...

Efficiency is the name of the game in power-system design, driven by the need to better leverage available energy and deliver more power from a smaller package. Except in some specialized or extremely ...

As part of its research into GaN transistor power supplies, the University of Bristol has created the fastest active gate driver ever – 10x quicker than anything reported so far. Active drivers ...

CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Driver-Gate will enter Sunday with no answers from the Rory McIlroy camp on precisely what happened with his driver that was deemed non-conforming on Tuesday at the PGA Championship.
