Typical 3D thermal simulation of electronics components assumes that all the power consumption the data sheets define is dissipated in the semiconductor. In the case of high current power modules, ...

When a design engineer evaluates a new electronic simulation tool, they should keep as many of the following points in mind as possible: In the numerous articles already published on the “Planet ...

My research projects in the area of nonlinear systems deal with finding dc operating points, steady state, and transient responses of electronic circuits. These are essential tasks in electrical ...

With concerns over air pollution and petroleum supplies, the use of hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) and electric vehicles (EVs) have come to the forefront as alternatives to conventional gasoline and ...

Many aspects of semiconductor design and verification have an ever-growing “need for speed” that has outpaced the performance improvements available by running on CPUs. Electronic design automation ...

Troubleshooting live electrical circuits can pose a hazard not only to the equipment being worked on, but more importantly, to the person performing the labor — especially if that individual lacks ...

Power modules are high-power switching circuits that convert DC- in AC-currents in electric vehicles, renewable energy, and many more applications. New materials [14] and device technologies [14], ...
