Trident 4C detects flow anomalies in real-time as part of a rapid cyber-threat defense. Network bandwidth has been increasing rapidly and security analytics until now have been forced to rely on […]
GaN half-bridge power ICs enable megahertz-range switching frequencies
Navitas Semiconductor announced the industry’s first GaNSense half-bridge power ICs. These half-bridge ICs enable a new level of MHz switching frequencies while dramatically reducing the system cost and complexity compared to existing discrete solutions. GaNSense half-bridge power ICs integrate two GaN FETs with drive, control, sensing, autonomous protection, and level-shift isolation, to create a fundamental […]
USB Type-C connector protection IC provides OVP, ESD protection
Halo Microelectronics announced the release of its HL8261, a 4-channel USB Type-C port protector for all computing, docking, and adapter essentials. In today’s applications, Sideband Use (SBU) channels can carry high-speed data, which makes protecting the SBU pins from electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage more challenging because the mechanism used to shield the pins adds capacitance […]
Power module pair simplify SiC inverter designs
STMicroelectronics has released two STPOWER modules that contain 1200V silicon-carbide (SiC) MOSFETs in popular configurations. Each uses ST’s ACEPACK[1] 2 package technology to ensure high power density and simplified assembly. The first of the new modules, the A2F12M12W2-F1, is a four-pack module that provides a convenient and compact full-bridge solution for circuits such as DC/DC converters. […]
