Solid-state electrolytes are the talk of the town these days. California-based PATHION has been working to commercialize solid electrolytes since its founding in 2012, building on its exclusive license from Los Alamos National Laboratories for a promising material called Lithium-Rich Anti-Perovskite (LiRAP). At the recent Materials Research Conference, PATHION presented two new superionic solid-state electrolytes built upon… Read more »

Kulicke & Soffa’s new ASTERION-TW welds copper terminals without heat for power modules
Kulicke & Soffa has introduced ASTERION-TW, an ultrasonic terminal welding system for next-generation power module manufacturing, adding another solid-state interconnect option to its ASTERION platform. The company says the system is designed for high-reliability applications in markets including transportation, renewable energy and data centers, where conventional mass-reflow processes can be limiting. ASTERION-TW uses ultrasonic welding… Read more »
EMI filters and noise mitigation techniques for power electronics
Pretty much every product, device or subsystem involved in power conversion, both on- and off-board anw EV, will have to comply with both safety and ElectroMagnetic Compatibility (EMC) regulations. And while most power electronics engineers find the safety regulations to be relatively straightforward, I’d wager that few feel the same about the EMC ones. EMC… Read more »
