Cornell Dubilier White Paper Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are widely used in all types of inverter power systems, from variable-speed drives to welders to UPS units. This paper discusses the considerations involved in selecting the right type of aluminum electrolytic bus capacitors for such power systems. The relationship among temperature, voltage, and ripple ratings and how
RECOM White Paper When evaluating new switching transistors circuits, often only the transistor specifications are considered. However, a very significant contributor in the robustness of the final design is the driver circuit. This whitepaper shares some design guidelines and advice on how to reduce failure causes and simplify the design - with application examples
Microchip Technical Article On-board chargers (OBCs) are just one piece of the EV puzzle. Traditional combustion vehicles are seeing electronic upgrades across the board, including motors, sound, sensors, braking, compressors, and charging/battery management. In fact, most non-EV cars today have as many as 40 motors, some more than 100 depending on luxury class. As
Microchip Technical Article E-mobility covers a very wide range of human transportation applications — not just traction motors and EVs but also e-bikes, e-scooters and other recreational equipment. Additionally, EVs have very complex electrical systems when compared with normal cars, with two or even three different electrical busses (12V/48V/high voltage). This white paper reviews Microchip's
from Vincotech The adoption of Silicon Carbide power electronics devices in EV chargers is being driven by the need to build a highly efficient system from a package with a small footprint and a competitive system level price. This paper reviews EV charger implementations and presents Vincotech solutions designed for these use cases - power
Wolfspeed White Paper Silicon Carbide (SiC) discretes and power modules can bring huge system-level benefits to grid-tied converter applications, including higher voltage, faster switching, increased power density and current capabilities, and an overall boost in system efficiency while reducing BOM costs for passive components. This white paper highlights Wolfspeed's wide SiC portfolio suited for
Wolfspeed White Paper With increased voltage ratings, lower operating temperatures, higher-current capabilities, and better recovery characteristics, silicon carbide (SiC) has enabled several applications to maximize efficiency and power density while keeping costs at a minimum; however, it’s important to fully characterize these components and their performance in order to take full advantage of SiC technology.Download
Wolfspeed White Paper Characterizing a design with SiC components is not always a straightforward process. Whether developing a new product or upgrading previous designs, it’s best to simulate and optimize components during the earlier design phases before topologies and device selection are set in stone. This white paper reviews Wolfspeed's SpeedFit Design Simulator, an online
