Silicon Carbide (SiC) power devices deliver faster switching and improved thermal performance compared to silicon IGBTs and MOSFETs. Accurate visibility into SiC switching signals is key to making the right design decisions. Increasing design margins and overdesigning will only drive costs up and bring performance down. Using the right measurement techniques can make all the difference. This application note will answer many of the questions that a power system designer must consider as they shift to SiC.

Until the introduction of the Industrial Revolution, hand-crafted one-off design and manufacturing was the norm. Blacksmiths were both designer and manufacturer; each pair of horseshoes they crafted was unique, even when made for the same horse! Production was slow and products were made to order. Save for a few high value items like coffee, tea, and spices, products were rarely, if ever, made in advance, inventoried, and ready for sale. Supply chains for manufactured goods were nonexistent.

Infineon recently added the new CoolGaN™ IPS family of integrated power stage (IPS) products to its broad portfolio of WBG power devices. The 
Internet of Things (IoT) devices and apps provide users with improved access to and control of their digital life. With so much useful data at industrial manufacturing sites, site operators can also benefit from remote visibility into equipment status and alarms. The key is slowly introducing Industrial IoT features by taking small steps to realize big value.
HMI performance advances with the rising rate of digital transformation, especially in Industrial Automation and Building Automation applications. With the HMI advancement, there is a demand for higher performance, higher reliability and long-term software support on embedded controllers. The RZ/G2 microprocessors (MPU) consisting Cortex-A57 (1.5GHz) and Cortex-A53 (1.2GHz) based on ARMv8A architecture deliver high performance and support high-speed protocols. The embedded Error Correcting Code (ECC) function reduces soft errors in memory interfaces and keep system reliability high. Also, Renesas provides an industrial Linux software package including a kernel that will be maintained for more than 10 years to ensure users have a long-term software support. To further advance the HMI performance, users are able to integrate AI functions easily, by testing seven AI platforms directly with the RZ/G2 MPU. The RZ/G2 partners deliver readily available boards to reduce development hurdles, and enable users to jump-start their development. Learn more about the details in this white paper.
The local oscillator directly impacts the quality of the recovered clock and time in SyncE and PTP applications. The performance of these critical oscillators is typically measured under ideal operating conditions. However, network equipment can be exposed to harsh conditions when installed in outdoor boxes.
When designing electronic systems, it is very easy to forget about real-world limitations and effects that would not otherwise affect a circuit. For example, a circuit that works in theory (i.e., mathematically) may not work in reality due to inherent resistance in components, capacitance from PCB traces, and interference from the environment.
Heat, humidity, dust and vibration can wreak havoc on an otherwise great product design. When designing a system that will be used in harsh environments, it is critical to understand the common issues and how to address them. Design Considerations for Systems in Harsh Environments reviews how different harsh conditions impact device performance, commonly overlooked areas of concern, and reliable solutions.
