Wide-Bandgap Semiconductors Drive Vehicle Electrification
By Anne-Francoise Pelé
Wide-bandgap power semiconductors such as silicon carbide and gallium nitride reduce component size, increase efficiency, and improve performance in hybrid and all-electric vehicles. More and more car manufacturers now bet on SiC and GaN, and chipmakers are transforming their business to take advantage of the electric-vehicle market’s explosive growth.
In a panel session on wide-bandgap semiconductors for EVs at the recent Advanced Automotive Tech Forum, three industry experts discussed efforts to address GaN and SiC current challenges and future opportunities.
Minimizing Second-Order Ripples and DC Capacitance for EV Chargers Through SiC-Based Improved Neutral Legs
By Saumitra Jagdale
EV technology is the future of the automobile industry that continuously sees rapid advancements in battery and fast charger systems. Without sacrificing charging time, research and development is underway to ensure that the size of the battery is smaller and power consumption during charging time is minimal.

EV Charge Points in Next-Gen Smart Buildings Will Necessitate Mobile Connectivity
By Colin Abrey
Commercial mixed-use buildings could play a critical role in the renewable-energy ecosystem, with energy generation now possible at the property level via solar panels, and facility managers should take advantage of the opportunity to consider their energy-management strategies and how to profit from the energy their buildings are generating. The answer could lie in the rollout of electric vehicles (EVs) and the energy-storage infrastructure that supports them.
