Silicon MOSFETs are also capable of handling medium levels of power and overlap in functionality somewhat. With the introduction of the 800V the need of wide band Gap technologies such as the Silicon Carbide (SiC)-based substrates are fairly new and hold even more promise with power density at higher switching frequencies and with better thermal characteristics.
The new Model PF-K Series is specially designed to meet ISO 8820-8 standards for the protection of high voltage accessory circuits in electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs). Other intended applications for this new model family include electrical energy storage (ESS) and battery management systems (BMS).
This webinar aims to give an insight into ALTER Technology´s engineering activities. It will introduce a non-centralized control of the heaters, especially if there are many of them to be used, which would help a lot.
A dielectric material is used to separate the conductive plates of a capacitor. This insulating material significantly determines the properties of a component. The dielectric constant of a material determines the amount of energy a capacitor can store when voltage is applied. A dielectric material becomes polarized when it is exposed to an electric field. When polarization occurs, the effective electric field is reduced.
Current-compensated chokes can be manufactured with different ferrite geometries; toroidal ring core and ribbed core are the best known. Different core materials enable their use in various frequency ranges. A very well-known component, but one not designed as a common mode choke, is the snap ferrite or the split ferrite sleeve.
The European and UK semiconductor industry has been demanding a low-cost plastic package solution for medium volumes. High volume lines for outsourced assembly and test (OSAT), mostly based in Asia, are dominated by consumer, mobile and automotive applications.
X-class capacitors are used across the line where failure would not lead to an electrical shock. X-class capacitors are divided into sub-classes and Y-class capacitors are used in “line-to-ground” applications where failure could lead to an electrical shock. It is also divided into sub-classes by their AC voltage and peak surge voltage ratings.
Ceramic dielectric electrostatic capacitors are dominating the capacitor market in a number of fields:
Largest volume capacitor technology (by far)
Largest value capacitor technology
Smallest dimension discrete components among all passives
High flexibility of design to meet specific requirements such as low ESL / high-frequency operation
Strong presence in both low voltage, low power and high voltage, high power applications
despite all the above benefits, the technology has some limitations that must be understood for the corr
