As you'll learn in this issue, SiC is rewriting the rules of EV inverter design, particularly when it comes to the DC links embedded inside them. Designing these systems requires a very careful evaluation of capacitor technologies, ranging from large cylindrical film capacitors to ultra-small multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs). Many of the same design challenges facing EVs also apply to electric aircraft, which are evolving rapidly. See what's happening in this space.
