An international study found that the specific power of commercial silicon solar modules increased from 8.5 W/kg in the early ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Let’s face it: Some lucky folks don’t have to worry too much about power conversion. Just plug the board into the ...

Nordic Semiconductor and RF Digital have teamed up on a range of ISM-band modules that have been pre-approved by regulatory agencies (FCC and IC). The modules are intended for ultra-low power ...

This report presents an integrated approach to the efficient design of power modules used in electric vehicles and other high-power systems. The proposed flow enables the design of power modules for ...

Researchers at the University of Western Ontario in Canada have proposed using polycarbonate (PC) as an encapsulant for solar module assembly to replace ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), which is ...

Size and power often seem like opposite sides of a coin. When you reduce size – one of the ever-pressing goals in our industry – you inevitably reduce power. But does that have to be the case? By ...

If you’re an embedded-systems designer looking for compute power, you have a lot of options. I don’t know how many companies make single-board computers, but it is a lot. Maybe 200? And most of those ...

The future of solar module design will be heavier, not lighter. With hail and extreme weather events increasing, module manufacturers are expected to shift toward thicker glass to improve impact ...

The LEC-iMX8M SMARC module family is based on the NXP i.MX8M SoC family that’s built on Arm’s 64-bit Cortex-A53 and 32-bit Cortex-M4. Multiple configurations exist of each type, which is an advantage ...
