Using Application Loss Analysis as Figure of Merit for Mosfet Selection
PCIM Europe, Nuremberg, May 20-22, 2014
This article moves away from the traditional "simplified" FOM (Ron x Qg) to an application specific one. Every topology used has its own specific FOM and power loss equation. The topology used here is the ever popular PFC where all losses are calculated to show its overall conduction, switching, output and gate drive losses. This information is then used to select the appropriate device based on the operating parameters of the circuit.

High Voltage Silicon MOSFETs, GaN and SiC: All have a Place
Vishay, Siliconix
Questions have arisen about how silicon will compete against wide bandgap (WBG) materials such as Silicon Carbide (SiC) and Gallium Nitride (GaN). There are many different technologies used in high voltage silicon devices today and though Si MOSFETs and WBG technologies will be the focus of this article, IGBTs are reviewed as they are a competing technology within the high voltage market.

Electromagnetic Compatibility For Power Converters
Fairchild Semiconductor
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) has become a household expression over the past decade. In the mid 90s, Europe required a reduction in the level of radiated and conducted emission in products that were to be sold into the region and, at that point, many products incorporated EMC testing into their design cycle. This trend has continued into today’s product cycles.

Reference design for Power over Ethernet uses dc-dc converter
Fairchild Semiconductor
Largely deployed in nearly every business building, CAT-5 cabling is primarily used for 10/100 Mb/s Ethernet. According to Ethernet standards, only two of the four twisted pairs are used for data transfer, leaving two pairs unused. Power can be applied to these unused pairs using Power over Ethernet (PoE) architecture, IEEE 802.3af standard. Although PoE can also be applied over the actual data carrying pairs, this article will focus on the more common approach via the unused pairs. Typical end…
Largely deployed in nearly every business building, CAT-5 cabling is primarily used for 10/100 Mb/s Ethernet. According to Ethernet standards, only two of the four twisted pairs are used for data transfer, leaving two pairs unused. Power can be applied to these unused pairs using Power over Ethernet (PoE) architecture, IEEE 802.3af standard. Although PoE can also be applied over the actual data carrying pairs, this article will focus on the more common approach via the unused pairs. Typical end units that benefit from this technology include wireless broadband routers and IP telephones, but items such as alarm systems, thermostats, and badge readers can also benefit from PoE.

U.S. Patent No. 6963317 B2: RFID Tag Wide Bandwidth Logarithmic Spiral Antenna Method and System
US Patent Office
A radio frequency identification (RFID) tag antenna system includes a planar two arm logarithmic spiral antenna with a suitably small form factor. There are two arms are of conductive foils or etched copper plating on a substrate the extend outwardly from a center in a logarithmic fashion. The two arms are identical to each other but rotated in the plane by 180 degrees for 360 degree operation
