Skyworks Si823Hx GDB two-channel isolated gate driver solution
The Si823Hx GDB is ideal for driving discrete transistors and power modules. This two-channel isolated gate driver solution features a differential digital interface, optimized on-board isolated power supply, and user-configurable turn-on and turn-off gate resistors. Status indicator LEDs and test points make evaluation and prototyping easy.
How solar and battery technology are advancing the smart grid
Smart grid technology is now ingrained in modern power distribution systems worldwide. Many countries have reinvigorated their power grids with smart grid systems that enable active monitoring, distribution optimization, outage notification, and much more. And as adjacent technologies are integrated into utility intelligence, we’ll continue to see iterative improvement to the smart grid.
Powering the future — battery technologies, power alternatives, and minimizing consumption
There are many power options to portable devices, but only a few provide credible options. As electronics get smaller, the power requirements also fall (smaller transistors consume less energy); however, the increased number of transistors increases the overall energy consumption.
Can't take the heat? Silicon carbide holds the answers to your applications
Managing heat to keep silicon devices functioning is not an easy task. Thermal design not only consumes engineering time but weight and space allocations as well. A highly integrated power semiconductor solution may require a liquid-cooled heat sink that physically bloats the system to the point that it becomes cumbersome to transport or install. It may even affect the performance of the application itself.
Energy Harvesting with Texas Instruments
The second law of Thermodynamics states that energy will naturally flow from more organized states to lower level states that are more distributed and disorganized. Traditionally, the energy loss was something that was just accepted, but scientists have increasingly been paying attention to this ‘waste’ energy and have developed ways to harness and recover energy that would otherwise naturally dissipate.
