Piezo Pushbuttons Built for Food Equipment

By

Why use solid-state piezo pushbuttons?

Food safety starts with hygiene and sanitization. Common practice includes CIP (clean in process) and power washdown on food equipment. To achieve the design objectives and long-term reliability under such harsh conditions, choosing field-proven devices for your control panel is crucial. Hermitically sealed food-grade stainless-steel pushbuttons with color LED ring indication are built for food equipment to provide IP69K protection, X-ray detectability and superior durability.

Delivering on the EV Range Extension Promise of SiC in Traction Inverters

By

There are two major disruptions currently affecting the future of vehicular transport and semiconductor technology. We are embracing a new and exciting means to propel our vehicles cleanly with electrical power, while simultaneously re-engineering the semiconductor materials that underpin electric vehicle (EV) subsystems to maximize power efficiency and, in turn, EV driving range.

Looking holistically at all elements in the EV power train—from the battery to the traction inverter to the supporting components and beyond—ADI sees myriad opportunities to improve EV in a manner that enhances overall power efficiency and extends EV driving range. Digital isolation is one of the many important parts of the equation as SiC power switching technology penetrates the EV traction inverter.

Polyimide Film Uses for Digital Isolators

By

In this article, digital isolator construction using polyimide films as isolation layers will be reviewed. To meet various safety standards such as UL and VDE, digital isolators need to satisfy various high voltage performances, such as short duration withstand voltage, surge voltage, and working voltage. Polyimide aging behavior under various high voltage waveforms such as ac or dc was studied, and isolator working voltage is extrapolated through a polyimide lifetime model. Structural improvements to improve polyimide high voltage lifetime will also be discussed.
