Although the physical aspect of the Power Conversion and Intelligent Motion (PCIM) conference was postponed for this year, it's been reinvented as a virtual event, scheduled for July 7-8, 2020. As Europe's premier power technology event, it deserves its own write-up (coming soon!), but a couple of exhibitors are hosting their own educational programs ahead of the main event.
Infineon Livestream Sessions
In addition to its virtual booth at PCIM, Infineon is offering a series of livestreams on products and technologies in advance of the conference. The 16 livestream sessions, taking place July 1-3, will cover the full range of Infineon power electronics solutions, including:
- Motor-drive solutions for home appliances
- USB PD solutions
- New battery-management ICs
- SiC devices for transport and mobility applications
- Benefits of high-density IGBT high-voltage (IHV) modules in traction

Nexperia's Pre-PCIM Event Offers Interactive Live Discussions, Livestream Demos, and More
Power Live is a free virtual conference to be hosted by Nexperia on July 2-3. The two-day event will be a mix of live discussions, tutorials, and streaming video demonstrations.
The program tracks on tap at Power Live are as follows:
- July 2: GaN technology (10 -11:30 am CET) and Industrial Applications (14:00 -15:30 pm CET)
- July 3: Automotive Applications (10 -11:30 am CET) and Packaging for High Power Devices (14:00 -15:30 pm CET)
The moderated live discussions will allow participants to engage with other power professionals in a series of live sessions across a number of topics to discuss the common challenges and demands you and your colleagues face every day. Among them are:
- How GaN-based traction inverters will deliver a breakthrough in powertrain electrification.
- MOSFETs for use in high continuous-current applications
- Using silicon-germanium (SiGe) rectifiers in high-frequency converter applications
Each track will also provide on-demand video demonstrations that include:
- Automotive 48-V/12-V bidirectional dc-dc converter with 100-V MOSFETs
- Automotive H-bridge dc motor-control reference designs, featuring P-channel LFPAK56 MOSFETs
- Using power MOSFETs to handle high currents up to 380 A
- LFPAK88—the automotive MOSFET package driving power density to the next level
- Balanced current sharing between parallel MOSFETs
- High-current 3-phase BLDC motor-drive application using LFPAK88 MOSFETs
- GaN-based EV inverter design
Power Live will also offer on-demand demonstration videos given by Nexperia’s resident power experts. The full event schedule is available now. You can follow this link to pre-register for free access.
