PRESENTATION
Next generation of Power Electronic Systems: Driving Efficiency through System Optimization
As the world moves towards global electrification, semiconductor innovation is indispensable. With an innovation cycle of 2-3 years, new WBG power semiconductor performance is increasingly limited by the physics of the package and the systems – here innovative new system solutions need to be considered to exploit the full potential of the new semiconductor technologies. This presentation will show a detailed analysis how improvements on chip level affects typical power electronic systems and what benefits could be achieved if a holistic system optimization is considered.
