This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Let’s face it: Some lucky folks don’t have to worry too much about power conversion. Just plug the board into the ...

Two trends in electronics show no signs of abating: The shift to portable and mobile products across multiple applications; and packing more and more features into each successive generation of ...

Current simulation and verification methods for power modules are time-consuming. Each domain has specific solutions based on finite elements analysis, computational fluid dynamics and solvers for ...

The need to mitigate climate change is driving a need to electrify our infrastructure, vehicles, and appliances, which can then be charged and powered by renewable energy sources. The most visible and ...

Lamination is a key step in module manufacturing, and the quality control of the lamination process affects the degree of EVA cross-linking, which in turn affects module durability. Prior tests for ...

“We see a decoupling between what modules are expected to survive based on previous industry knowledge, and what they’re actually able to survive in testing,” says Colin Sillerud. Image: CFV Labs.

Intersil has designed fully-encapsulated switching power supply modules in very small footprints. The ISL8240 is one example of their dual 20A/single 40A step-down, 100W analog power module. These ...

A new report published by the International Energy Agency offers a series of guidelines for the design of recyclable PV modules. The report aims to help manufacturers find the balance between ...
