Infineon is sbipping a 200V half-bridge gate driver IC in a standard SOIC-8 (DSO-8) package. It is a new member of the EiceDRIVER 200 V level-shift gate driver family. Featuring undervoltage-lockout (UVLO) for V CC and V BS, the IRS2007S is tailored for low voltage (24 V, 36 V, and 48 V) and medium voltage ...

An international research group boosted perovskite solar cells efficiency by adding silicon nanoparticles. Various metal nanoparticles have been tried before, but can have drawbacks such as absorbing energy, or increasing corrosion. In the case of the silicon particles, they don’t absorb light, nor do they interact with other materials in the cell, according to ITMO University ...

Scientists at UCLA have spray-coated a perovskite solar cell onto thin-film CIGS solar cell to convert energy at 22.4% when the cells are connected in series. Series connection is a tougher test that four-terminal connection, because both top and bottom cells care forced to work at the same current, making it unlikely that both are working ...

Presto Engineering announced the availability of high volume semiconductor testing above 100GHz today at European Microwave Week in Madrid. “Commercial test equipment does not test much about 50GHz,” said Presto COO Cédric Mayor. “The current method used by most customers is in-house bench testing by hand. This is because testing equipment above 50GHz is expensive as ...
