The demand having a snubber circuit in the power supply topology leads to specific verification methods during the design to obtain a proper and reliable design. Learn how in this AppNote.

A known problem for electronic developers: No matter what they develop, nothing works without current and voltage. Learn how to create a customized and reliable power supply in just 5 steps and what tools are available.

The demand for connected devices keeps growing – in particular in the Internet of Things, or IoT for short. The Fraunhofer flagship project ZEPOWEL has shown successfully how all of these sensor systems can become extremely energy efficient or even completely autonomous. The potential result: Up to 20 % less carbon emissions in Germany alone.

New superconducting magnet breaks magnetic field strength records, paving the way for practical, commercial, carbon-free power. This is the result of a research projekt led by the MIT and startup company Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS).

Lithium-ion battery degradation is a big problem for increasingly complex modern applications that have higher and more complex power demands. Now, a joint American research team reckons that, with further research, it has found a way to create electrodes that can resist oxygen degradation.

A new efficiency record of 21.4% for flexible CIGS solar cell on polymer film has been achieved by scientists at Empa. Solar cells of this type are especially suited for applications on roofs, transport vehicles or mobile devices.

Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation has developed a model-based development (MBD) simulation technology that shortens verification times for automotive semiconductors by about 90 percent[1]. The technology allows automotive equipment developers to quickly evaluate designs using Toshiba’s automotive semiconductors, helping to shorten development times.

Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI) announced that renowned British performance brand Lotus Cars is planning to incorporate ADI’s wireless battery management system (wBMS) in its next-generation electric vehicle (EV) architecture.
