Abstract: Silicon carbide (SiC) power devices offer high switching speeds and power densities but are constrained by significant parasitic inductance and limited thermal dissipation capability.

It probably sucked to be a Roman soldier guarding Hadrian’s Wall circa the third century CE. W.H. Auden imagined the likely harsh conditions in his poem “Roman Wall Blues,” in which a soldier laments ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. It’s hard to imagine a holiday season without Bing Crosby’s ...

In industrial systems, many devices require a lower voltage. This is where DC/DC power modules come into play, where the power supply is reliable, efficient, and EMC-compliant. In industrial systems, ...

Over on YouTube [DENKI OTAKU] runs us through how a 4-pin MOSFET works and what the extra Kelvin source pin does. A typical MOSFET might come in a 3-pin TO-247 package, but there are 4-pin variants ...

A sneaky, stealthy parasite queen can turn an ant colony against itself. Newly-mated queens of two parasitic ant species have been found to sneak into an ant colony, creep towards the resident ant ...

Experts discovered an unusual form of regicide in which a parasitic ant queen tricks workers in a colony into turning on their own mother. By Rebecca Dzombak Rebecca Dzombak previously reported on ...

Scientists say they have for the first time unlocked how a parasitic ant uses chemical warfare to take over the nest of a different species, by tricking workers into an unlikely assassination. The ...

At first glance, it’s a wonder that jumping parasitic nematodes exist at all. To reproduce, these minuscule creatures—roughly the size of a pinpoint—hurl themselves up to 25 times their body length to ...

Parasitic inductance is an often-overlooked factor in power electronics circuits. This FAQ examines how stray inductances in components and PCB layouts create voltage overshoots, electromagnetic ...
