IGBT Modules with Integrated Shunts
Infineon Technologies AG takes the EconoDUAL 3 modules to the next level of integration: They are now available with integrated shunt resistors for current monitoring in the AC path. Implementing these devices helps inverter manufacturers to reduce cost, improve performance and simplify the inverter designs. The EconoDUAL 3 with integrated shunts can be used in a wide variety of applications.

Measurement Technology in Formula E Racing Series
The shunt-based IVT-F measurement system is a custom-made production for the FIA. The device must meet elementary physical and technological framework conditions due to the regulations. In the racing trim, the sensor system used must be extremely precise and highly insulating. The IVT-F achieves a real isolation electric strength of 1,000 volts. The very good linearity, the custom-made electronics, the quick sampling and the excellent calibration realize a precise measurement.

Online Design Software for Custom Magnetics
Magment announced the launch of their web application MAGMATH, which for the first time ever, allows users to design cost-optimised Magment inductors. Magment is an innovative, cost-efficient material: recycled magnetic particles are embedded in a cement matrix, yielding a flowable material with a high DC-bias capability, low losses, and mechanical robustness. This allows for the design of rugged inductive components of any size and shape with a distributed air.

Output Voltage Extension for 3W and 4W Smart Home and IoT AC/DC Converters
Designing energy efficient devices is not only about complying with the latest energy saving directives, but also about the needs of energy sensible systems. Sensor-rich modern IoT will benefit from using energy efficient AC/DC power supplies of RECOM's RAC series. To cover more power-critical IoT and Smart Home systems, RECOM now offers its low-power 3W and 4W RAC-series with additional output voltages.

Reflowable Thermal Switch
RTS stands for "Reflowable Thermal Switch". It was developed to protect highly integrated power semiconductors like MOSFETs, ICs, IGBTs, Triacs, SCRs, etc. from overheating. Before mechanical activation, the RTS can be mounted using conventional reflow soldering techniques with temperature profiles up to 260 °C. After having the RTS reflow soldered on a PCB, mechanical activation arms the RTS for tripping at 210 °C. This activation can be done manually or by fully automated means.
