Gallery: The Power Was Definitely On at APEC 2017

This year’s APEC conference and exhibition, which took place in Tampa, Fla., showcased the latest in power electronics. Electronic Design was at the show to cover news and developments in products, applications, and technology. Many companies were showing gallium-nitride (GaN) reference designs and applications, but silicon carbide (SiC) also is increasingly being considered as a process technology—especially above 1200 V. Among the applications driving the evolution of power electronics are datacenters, electric vehicles, and wireless charging. Stay tuned for more coverage of this important electronics segment as it enables us to power the future.
