CoolSiC MOSFETs 1400 V G2 in TO-247PLUS-4 Reflow Package Enhance Power Density in High-Power Applications

The CoolSiC™ MOSFETs 1400 V G2 in the TO-247PLUS-4 Reflow package are suitable for applications where high power density is crucial, such as CAVs, electric vehicle charging and battery energy storage systems.

­High-power applications such as electric vehicle charging, battery energy storage systems, and commercial, construction and agricultural vehicles (CAVs) are driving the demand for higher system-level power density and efficiency to meet increasing performance expectations. At the same time, these requirements in

Talkin’ Batteries and EVs in the Motor City

Jason Lomberg, North American Editor, PSD

­Happy Fall and welcome to the October issue! Oh, is my unmitigated glee at no longer melting like an ice cream cone in an oven that obvious? You can keep your long days at the beach and baking in the hot sun – I’m all about Halloween, Thanksgiving, and weather that doesn’t feel like I’m wearing five

Playing it Safe

Ally Winning, European Editor, PSD

­Welcome to the October edition of Power Systems Design Europe.  The first article in the Special Report was submitted by Bytesnap Design. In the piece, Dunstan Power tells us how designs for ATEX environments have moved from passive monitoring to active control. ATEX environments are places that have a high risk of of e

­In roughly 80 years of computer simulation, we’ve seen its benefits span across industries and domains. From modeling gravitational waves to designing a circuit board, the intent remains unchanged: to represent the physical world as accurately as possible. In the last several years, multi-domain integrati

Expanded EV Charging Access

Jason Lomberg, North America Editor, PSD

­Ars Technica had a rather…unique take on expanded access to electric vehicles, and while I don’t quite agree with the article’s conclusions, it got me thinking about the future of EVs and their wider dissemination. Will charging access hamper the growth of EVs beyond the ubiquitous “early adopters”
