PowerLattice, of Vancouver, Washington State, has in progress engineering samples of a chip which reduces compute power needs by more than 50% with customer trials planned for H1 2026. “By bringing power directly into the processor package, we’re delivering the performance and efficiency AI needs to keep scaling beyond today’s limits,” says CEO Peng Zou. AI accelerators and GPUs are ...
Globalfoundries (GF) and onsemi have signed an agreement to develop and manufacture advanced GaN power products using GF’s 200mm eMode GaN-on-silicon process. The focus for initial development will be 650V power devices for AI datacentres, electric vehicles, renewable energy, industrial systems, aerospace, defence and security. “This collaboration brings together onsemi’s system and product expertise with GlobalFoundries’ advanced GaN process to ...
AI is powering rapid growth in new data centre capacity placing supply chains under pressure to meet demand. Artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionising all aspects of our lives and society including how we work and how we learn. Recognising their potential to power UK economic growth, the Government has designated data centres as critical national infrastructure (CNI) alongside energy, water ...
Toray Industries has developed technology to scale up a new high-durability, high-selectivity nanofiltration membrane element that can efficiently recover high yields of high-purity lithium when recycling automotive lithium-ion batteries. This advance should significantly increase the recovery of lithium that conventional recycling processes largely discard. Establishing a closed-loop cycle for lithium by recycling batteries has become a critical technological challenge as ...
Infineon will supply customised SiC power modules to Electreon, a provider of dynamic in-road charging technology for EVs. This wireless electric road system (wERS) lets EVs charge wirelessly using inductive charging. Copper coils embedded beneath the road surface transfer power to buses, trucks and other EVs as they travel. “Electreon’s wireless charging system is a real game changer,” says Infineon ...
ST has added 65 Watt flyback converter in the VIPerGaN series that combines a 700V GaN transistor and quasi-resonant PWM control IC in a single QFN 5×6 package. VIPerGaN65W is aimed at cost-effective USB-PD chargers, fast battery chargers, and auxiliary power supplies. The flyback controller of these converters operates in quasi-resonant mode with zero-voltage switching (ZVS) up to the full ...
