- Three versions of 5G: 5G LPWA, 5G NR Sub-6, 5G NR mmWave
- Which version of 5G would best fit your business case
- Tips to keep your 5G device and data secure
Aluminum electrolytic and DC film capacitors are widely used in all types of inverter power systems, from variable-speed drives to welders, UPS systems, and inverters for renewable energy.
Engineers and designers are constantly looking for precise requirements ranging from cost-efficiency, to smaller footprint and output power for each of their unique applications. Learn about Infineon’s comprehensive USB-C PD technologies that can empower engineers to find the right solutions for their design requirements—from the highest performance, to better power efficiency, cost-efficiency and improved design flexibility.
IoT products are working their way into every aspect of our consumer and business lives, and they offer those with malicious intent a vector on which to prey. Security of IoT devices should not be considered an optional feature. Implementing security isn’t the complex and daunting experience developers may expect it to be because semiconductor vendors are actively adding the capability to their hardware and software portfolios and are simplifying implementation. Learn how to design secure devices now.
This paper presents a SiC MOSFET-based 6.6 kW bi-directional Electric Vehicle (EV) on-board charger (OBC), with high efficiency and high power density. A digital controlled prototype with a switching frequency of 67kHz for CCM totem pole PFC, and 150kHz-300kHz for a CLLC resonant converter is demonstrated with 54W/in3 power density exceeding 96.5% in peak efficiency. In order to achieve a high power density, all SiC MOSFETs are mounted on a tooled AL heat sink, with all magnetics potted internally. MOSFETs and magnetics meet thermal requirements on a 65°C cooling plate.
This article outlines the main causes of error in a DAC signal chain, including DAC intrinsic errors which vary depending on the system and must be considered in an open-loop application.
This paper presents the application of Silicon Carbide (SiC) devices in a high-frequency LLC resonant DC/DC converter which can be used in bus converters, EV chargers, server powers, and energy storage. With high switching frequencies, the leakage inductance of the LLC transformer can be used as the resonant inductor, resulting in 50% reduction in volume and weight, and 30% decrease in power loss of the magnetic components at 500 kHz and 6.6 kW/400 V output. Experimental results have demonstrated the superb performance of SiC power devices over Si-based counterparts with a near 98.5% peak converter efficiency at 500 kHz in a converter with 400 V/16 A output.
Embedded system RFID and smartphone credential readers come with a broad range of form factors, capabilities and configurations. When evaluating a reader to embed into a system or device, it is essential to ensure it will continue to meet your needs for years to come as device specification and end-user requirements change.
