The increasing demand for data processing is the primary driving force behind the growth in four key application areas. However, each application has specific requirements that necessitate different advanced semiconductor packaging technologies.

Rob Russell, VP of Satellite Business Unit at Vicor, discusses the challenges for power in the LEO and MEO satellite market and how those issues are being addressed with new architectures.

Analog Devices, Inc., which recently acquired Linear Technology Corp., announces the LT4294 IEEE 802.3bt Powered Device (PD) interface controller for applications requiring up to 71W of delivered power. This new Power over Ethernet (PoE) standard – IEEE 802.3bt – increases the power budget to enable new applications and features, while supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T) and maintaining backward compatibility with older IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at PoE equipment.

Higher efficiency, increased power density, smaller footprints and reduced system costs: these are the main advantages of transistors based on silicon carbide (SiC). Infineon Technologies AG is starting volume production for the EASY 1B, the first full-SiC module announced during PCIM 2016. On the occasion of this year’s PCIM in Nuremberg, the company is showcasing additional module platforms and topologies for the 1200 V CoolSiC™ MOSFET family. Infineon is now able to bring the potential of SiC technology to a new level.

Rosenberger has introduced the High-Speed FAKRA-Mini HFM® connector series. This new generation of automotive coaxial connectors for frequency applications up to 15 GHz is a modular system enabling fast transmission of high data rates up to 20 Gbps.

MACOM Technology Solutions Inc. announced the production ready MAOP-L284CN, MACOM’s 100G CWDM4 transmitter L-PICTM  (Lasers integrated with a Silicon Photonic Integrated Circuit) and supporting driver and controller IC chipset.

Analog Devices, Inc. announced a series of three isolated pulse width modulation (PWM) controllers with integrated 5 kV isolation enabled by ADI’s award-winning iCoupler® technology. The ADP1071-1 and ADP1071-2 are isolated synchronous flyback controllers and the ADP1074 is an isolated synchronous active clamp forward controller.
