A Top-Side Cooled Package to Best Dissipate Heat

Sebastian Klotzer and Ilian B from Nexperia and Maurizio Tranchero and Paolo Santero from Ideas & Motion

In recent years, semiconductor manufacturers have developed power component packages which use a different thermal management approach - instead of placing the thermal pad on the bottom of a device pointing towards the PCB, the exposed metal pad is placed on the top side of the device. It has been shown that to

A Combined Approach Simplifies EV On-Board Charger Design

Clayton Pillion, Vice President SiC business unit, and Joe Thomsen, Vice President Digital Signal Controller Business Unit, Microchip

An essential component for electric vehicles (EVs) is the On-Board Charger (OBC), which transforms alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC) to replenish the vehicle's high-voltage battery. The efficacy and dependability of OBCs significantly influence the entire performance and user experience of EVs
