Optimizing Flying Capacitor Multilevel Converters for GaN Technology

Alejandro Pozo Arribas, Senior Applications Engineer, Efficient Power Conversion (EPC)

Introduction Modern power systems demand higher efficiency, increased power density, and reduced electromagnetic interference (EMI)—all while adhering to shrinking size constraints. Among the converter topologies addressing these challenges, the Flying Capacitor Multilevel (FCML) converter stands out for it

RECOM’s versatile and cost-effective ultra-wide input AC/DCs do not compromise on performance

15W AC/DC Power Modules feature Widest Input Range

RECOM has again pushed the boundaries of AC/DC performance with a miniature15W part that operates over a wide input range of 18-264VAC or 18-375VDC. The board-mount RAC15-K/WI is just 1.5” x 2” (52.5mm x 40mm) footprint with an industry-standard pinout or optionally flying wires, and provides a range o

PSDcast – Wide Band-Gap Devices Support Power Density in EV and Hybrid Vehicles

Today, we’re discussing power density in vehicles – specifically, hybrid and electric vehicles. As EVs and hybrids get ever more sophisticated, we’re starting to see the serious limitations of traditional silicon-based power devices and packaging…which is where wide band-gap devices come in. And on th

PSDcast – Power Interconnects for EVs

With hybrid and electric vehicles growing in complexity, every component within them must also evolve. Power interconnects, for instance, and how power busbars have become preferable over traditional wiring systems. Ennovi recently wrote an article for us addressing this very topic -- Power Interconnects from Hybrids to Electric Vehicles – and on the line to discuss it is Ennovi’s Dominik Pawlik.
