New technology is significantly reducing charging times that might eliminate range anxiety.

Determining self-discharge involves making just two open-circuit voltage measurements, but one must consider relaxation and voltmeter accuracy when grading cells. Delta-OCV is the tried-and-true method, but quicker options are emerging.

Ricoh’s RP516 and RP517 are designed for applications that require a low supply voltage between 0.3 and 1.2 V.

Infineon’s EasyPACK 2B module features increased power density and a switching frequency of up to 48 kHz.

Texas Instruments sees stronger-than-feared sales and profits in the current quarter, a signal that the semiconductor industry may be slowly regaining its strength. The company expects profits in the range of $1.31 to $1.53 per share in the third...

After six years of work, a team at Harvard has built an insect-like solar-powered aerial vehicle that flies untethered and weighs under 260 mg.

This brushless synchronous doubly-fed electric machine system is less expensive but more robust and higher performing than its rare-earth permanent-magnet counterpart.

Infineon’s ILD8150/E provides a high safety voltage margin for applications operating close to SELV limits.

Escalation in the use of higher frequencies for today’s power-conversion applications has designers increasingly looking at planar magnetics devices over traditional transformers.
