Part 2 of this series covers specialized topologies, common isolated topologies, and advanced isolated topologies of power supplies. What you'll learn in this article: What other topologies are used for SMPS beyond the three most common types? Common and advanced isolated topologies. What is the switched capacitor converter? Beyond the three basic, nonisolated switch-mode
Part of our Tech Chat series Gate drivers provide the first line of defense against short-circuit faults on power semiconductor devices. When comparing different types of power semiconductor technologies – IGBTs v. silicon carbide, for example – there are differences in the short circuit withstand capabilities. This Tech Chat discusses reasons for SiC module failure
Analog Devices iCoupler isolated gate drivers are combined with Wolfspeed's market leading MOSFETS to deliver high efficiency and high reliability system solutions across industrial, energy and automotive applications. This video reveals the nuances and details of a successful SiC design. Gate driver considerations are examined including understanding datasheet test conditions for driving switches, and reducing
Part of our Tech Chat series Gate drivers are required for voltage level shifting, charging and discharging the system and drive strength to charge and discharge quickly. In this Tech Chat, we discuss why gate drive strength is essential to supporting the faster switching of Gallium Nitride (GaN) and Silicon Carbide (SiC) for lower losses
Electric vehicles (EVs) will gain more and more market share, eventually taking over internal combustion engine vehicles. Direct current (dc) fast charging stations will replace, or integrate, petrol stations. Renewable energies will be used to power them, such as solar and wind. People will desire to charge their EVs in less than 15 minutes and
Part of our Tech Chat series Commode Mode Transient Immunity as it relates to gate drivers is explained in this Tech Chat as well as the minimum gate driver CMTI required for converters integrated with Gallium Nitride (GaN) or Silicon Carbide (SiC) power semiconductors. CM Transients can affect gate driver timing and performance. Incorrect gate
