Photovoltaic generators drive isolated mosfet gates in as little as 100μs

Panasonic has introduced a pair of photovoltaic drivers for operating mosfet gates with voltage isolation. Each consists of an LED and a stack of photodiodes, plus output control circuity. APV1111GVY has a comparatively high output current – 45μA (or 8.5V) – for fast gate charging leading to fast mosfet turn-on. APV3111GVY has a comparatively high ...

Photoacoustic spectroscopy ambient CO2 sensor smaller than a sugar cube

Working with Sensirion, Alps Alpine has turned to photoacoustic spectroscopy (PAS) to create a compact ambient CO2 concentration sensor in which the level of CO2 is determined by the sound of CO2 molecules make when illuminated with infra-red. “Because detection accuracy is not dependent on the distance travelled by the infrared light, we managed to ...

Sponsored content – Semiconductor relays by Celduc, SSR solutions for every field of automation

In control systems applied in modern electromechanics, solutions based on discrete components and digital electronics are becoming increasingly common. In addition to speed and absence of mechanical components, semiconductor alternatives to traditional components have a number of practical advantages – e.g. they are smaller, more durable and silent. These are the main reasons why we ...
