Today's motors are increasingly driven via electronic controls, which offer better control of speed, position, and torque, as well as much greater efficiency, rather than via direct connection to ...

Infineon Technologies AG recently launched a 6.5 kV power module that features IGBT and freewheeling diode functionality integrated into a single chip. This new RCDC (Reverse Conducting IGBT with ...

A new family of 1200V IGBTs has been optimized for lowest switching losses and smoothest turn-off in higher frequency and motor control applications. This paper will explain new approaches such as the ...

IGBTs are used to switch power in many products such as variable frequency drives (VFDs), servo drives, electric cars, buses and trucks, trains, medical equipment (x-ray and MR) , air-conditioners and ...

I have never been very good at introducing topics. During my presentations, I either jump directly into the subject matter, or start with a joke. My mom always said I could be a stand-up comedian. I ...
