Robust design for Variable Frequency Drives and starters

May 30, 2025 By Christophe Warin, Systems Engineering Manager, Semiconductor Business Unit, Littelfuse, Inc.

Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) and soft starters are essential components in modern industrial and commercial systems. VFDs provide precise control over motor speed, torque, and efficiency, matching speed to load requirements to minimize energy consumption. Soft starters gradually increase motor voltage to limit inrush current and prevent damage to the electrical system. Controlled inrush current […]

What’s the difference between a VCSEL and PCSEL?

May 30, 2025 By Jeff Shepard

A vertical cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) relies on a three-dimensional (3D) structure for light emission. A photonic crystal surface-emitting laser (PCSEL) incorporates a 2D photonic crystal (PhC) layer to manipulate light emission. Those structural differences lead to different performance and application possibilities. An obvious difference between the various types of semiconductor lasers is the beam…
