Fast-Recovery Super-Junction MOSFETs from STMicroelectronics Bring Superior Performance to Bridge and ZVS Converters

Geneva, January 21, 2019 — STMicroelectronics’ MDmesh™ DM6 600V MOSFETs contain a fast-recovery body diode to bring the performance advantages of the Company’s latest super-junction technology to full- and half-bridge topologies, Zero-Voltage Switching (ZVS) phase-shift converters, and applications and topologies generally that need a robust diode to handle dynamic dV/dt.
 
Leveraging ST’s advanced carrier-lifetime control technology, the MDmesh DM6 MOSFETs have reduced reverse-recovery time (trr) to minimize power dissipation in the diode when turning off after freewheeling. Recovery softness … Read More → "Fast-Recovery Super-Junction MOSFETs from STMicroelectronics Bring Superior Performance to Bridge and ZVS Converters"

Saelig Introduces TGF4000 Series 14/16-Bit Advanced Arbitrary Signal Generators With Outputs to 240MHz

Fairport, NY, USA: Saelig Company, Inc. has announced the introduction of the AIM-TTi TGF4000 Series of high quality, dual-channel arbitrary waveform generators, with models to 240MHz offering exceptionally low harmonic distortion and phase noise. One significant parameter that the TGF4000 series performs well in is audio band total harmonic distortion at just 0.05%. The TGF4000’s pulse generator design provides an exceptional pulse width resolution of 100ps over a period range from 10ns to 1000s. The pulse edge speed is also independently variable from 3ns to 800s. Pulse jitter is dramatically lower than comparable generators at only 30ps. Each … Read More → "Saelig Introduces TGF4000 Series 14/16-Bit Advanced Arbitrary Signal Generators With Outputs to 240MHz"
