Central Semiconductor is releasing a new adjustable current limiting diode. The 50V CMJA5050 regulates currents from 50mA to 80mA and eliminates the need for multiple CLDs for regulation compliance. Ideal for applications where space is…

GaN is changing the way we power things, and that’s becoming increasingly evident whether you look at consumer, automotive, 5G, or industrial power applications. Take 5G — It’s high bandwidth and low latency. From the consumer…

Efficient Power Conversion (EPC) introduces the first of a new integrated circuit (IC) product family offering higher performance and smaller solution size for high power density applications including DC-DC conversion, motor drive, and…

Diamonds are the highest thermal-conducting material we have. Their potential for use in integrating wide band-gap materials such as gallium nitride (GaN) with thermally conducting materials can boost the cooling effect on GaN devices and…

Last year, at APEC 2019, a special industry track was created for presentations about the commercialization of Gallium Nitrate (GaN) technology, including case studies about automotive, energy storage solutions, and data center adoption of…

High-powered, fast-charging supercapacitors are usually not capable of holding a large amount of energy in a small space. But a new supercapacitor developed at University College London that uses innovative graphene electrode material with…

When a thin layer of alumina is applied to common cathodes, lithium is trapped in batteries. That limits the number of times a battery can be charged and discharged at full power. But new phenomena being studied by engineers at Rice…

A new solution for typical 48 V lighting systems has made its way to the market with the launch of RECOM's new RCDE-48 series LED driver modules with up to 60 VDC input voltage and 1050 mA constant current output with analog or PWM deep…

As the number of chips required to power our devices increases and their size has had to decrease commensurately, finding new methods to fit layers of semiconductors as thin as a few nanometers has become increasingly important.…

One of the reasons it took so long to develop workable lithium-ion batteries for cars was the inherent instability of lithium, especially during charging. Metallic lithium plating that can occur during extreme temperature fluctuations means…
