Supporting the Transition away from Fossil Fuels with the Power of Electronic Components

What Are the Conditions for Increasing the Efficiency of Power Conversion and Motor Drives and for Expanding the Use of SiC and GaN Power Semiconductors?

There is a move to update the base material of devices from Si to SiC or GaN in the power semiconductor field to accelerate the pace of efforts to achieve carbon neutrality. We explain here what technological advances are needed in peripheral components such as capacitors and inductors to maximize the effect of that update.

Automotive MLCCs Balancing Reliability with Miniaturization and High Capacitance in a Closely Intertwined Evolution with the CASE Trend (1/3)

Automotive MLCCs must prioritize the implementation of a higher level of quality that is completely different from the MLCCs for consumer devices. We spoke with two automotive MLCC product technology managers who are well versed in the application and technology requirement trends in the automotive industry about the type of MLCCs required in the CASE era, the frontlines of technology development to meet those requirements, and future developments.
