Dual traction inverter demo with NXP’s S32K39 MCUs (Webinar)

Charged

The S32K39 has the ability to run two 3-phase SIC or GAN-based inverter motors with 200KHz control loops while being ASIL D compliant with NXP´s FS26 PMIC and GD3162 gate driver. Goldilocks also changes her mind, often, as the cells breathe and swell through a lifetime of usage. Reserve your spot—it’s free!

Electronic fuses and the evolution of overcurrent protection

Charged

An old saw often uttered by an electrical engineer (or their hapless techs) when an electronic device releases its magic smoke goes something like this: “The transistor bravely sacrificed itself to protect the fuse.” At higher voltages, it is more usual to put the switch in the high side (i.e.
