ROHM has developed hybrid IGBTs with an integrated 650V SiC Schottky barrier diode, the RGWxx65C series (RGW60TS65CHR, RGW80TS65CHR, and RGW00TS65CHR). These devices are rated according to the AEC-Q101 automotive reliability standard. They are the ideal choice for high-power automotive and industrial applications, such as photovoltaic power conditioners, on-board chargers, and DC/DC converters used in electric and electrified vehicles (xEVs).

In the quest to increase energy efficiency and process more data in smaller spaces, the computer industry explored alternatives to forced-air cooling. Cold wall and motherboard cooling methods, aided by liquid or gas heat exchangers, have been used for decades, and from laptops and data centers to radio base stations, a well-established technology has been developed to extract heat from heat sink components.

Energy management has become one of the most important challenges for electronics engineers, regardless of what they are designing: from individual cells in an electric vehicle to increase its range to tiny battery-powered sensors for the IoT, where battery life is essential for maintaining a plant's operational efficiency. Energy is no longer simply a set of supply lines.

Following the rapid expansion of SiC product options, the industry's next challenge is to simplify the design process for end users. Power system developers need comprehensive solutions that address not only typical design elements individually but also recognize the importance of their interactions. In other words, SiC suppliers must not only demonstrate the performance and robustness of their SiC MOSFET technology but also help overcome design challenges by offering low-inductance power packages and more sophisticated gate drivers to meet, protect, and precisely tune system parameters. Special attention must be paid to these three key elements to simplify evaluation and design for those seeking to leverage the revolutionary system-level improvements that SiC enables.

In the past, designing a compact computer relied on ITX and Mini-ITX motherboards, but it wasn't much different from assembling a typical PC. As technology developed, including integrated graphics processors (GPUs) with the central processing unit (CPU), single-board solutions emerged, meaning most components were pre-installed on the motherboard. This enabled significant miniaturization.

Batteries, as one of the most accessible energy storage solutions, have been gaining popularity in recent years. Today, batteries can be used not only in personal electronic devices, automobiles, and uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems, but also in electric vehicles and renewable energy storage. However, the different characteristics of various battery types present technical challenges for consumers and even engineers when selecting batteries and chargers. This article will discuss the differences between two of the most popular battery types: lead-acid and lithium batteries, as well as how to select a suitable charger.

Center-wheel integrated motors are beginning to be used in electric vehicle (EV) programs. The use of this technology offers some significant space-saving advantages in EVs, such as the elimination of the differential and driveshafts. However, this approach also presents some technical challenges, such as increased unsprung weight. This article describes the development of center-wheel integrated motors and some of the design integration issues, such as propulsion electronics.
