Analog ICs: Mixed Signal Design
03/08/22 • 16 min
Digital electronics doesn’t exist in a virtual space, at some time and somewhere it has to interact with the real world – to record data such as temperature or radio waves or to trigger actions, for example starting a motor. This is precisely why what we call mixed signal modules have been developed – they combine analog and digital functions on a single chip. In this episode we’ll be talking to Trent Butcher, Senior Product Marketing Manager at Microchip, and Laurence Berger, Technical Marketing Manager at STMicroelectronics, about the latest trends in mixed signal circuits.

Analog ICs & Power MOSFETS: Key drivers for energy efficiency
Energy is one of the biggest issues of our time. Most people tend to think big – wind turbines, photovoltaics and the like. But energy also plays a huge role at a small scale. For example, in chips and electronic circuits. Analog ICs are becoming increasingly important in our today’s world and are a key driver for energy efficiency. In this episode we are talking all about energy with our guests Chris Boyce, Senior Director MOS Discretes at Nexperia, and Dr. Saeed Safari, Principle Field Application Engineer at Broadcom.

SiC: A master of energy efficiency
Today’s market expects electrical and electronic systems to deliver constant improvements in energy efficiency. Converters, inverters and power supplies of all kinds have to demonstrate that their energy losses are getting lower all the time, and where possible they need to function without the need for cooling. Not only that, but they are expected to be small and lightweight too. The very promising and commercially already enabled way is to use wide-bandgap materials in power semiconductors, silicon carbide and gallium nitride.
Today we are talking to Jan Huijink, Technical Marketing Manager at WeEn, who will give us exactly the right information about the energy-saving potential of power electronics made from those materials.
