We’re currently in the middle of a disruptive evolution in power electronics, driven by the growing availability of wide-bandgap semiconductors like gallium nitride (GaN) and silicon carbide (SiC).

DesignCon is a trade show focused on electronic product design, electronic components as well as the applications that drive demand for electronics. It has been going on for decades in Silicon Valley.

While today's semiconductors feature the latest process innovations that are often projected on technology roadmaps of major suppliers, these innovations all descend from the humble transistor, which ...
