Scott A. Wurcer – An Audio Legend Left Us

Scott Wurcer from Cambridge Mass passed away on March 18, at the age of 74. Scott was one of those people who made a technical contribution to audio that can hardly be overstated. His analog IC designs for Analog Devices are legendary for their creative design and extremely high performance. Scott loved a good life, and I shared many exquisite meals and great wines with him. I will miss him.

Diodes Announces Smallest in Class 2A Schottky Rectifiers

Diodes announced three new Schottky rectifiers that are able to achieve the industry's highest current densities in their class, addressing market demands for smaller and more powerful electronic systems. Well-suited for space-constrained portable, mobile, and wearable designs, these are the first 2A Schottky rectifiers to be designed within the X3-DSN1406-2 package. With a footprint of 0.84mm2, this makes them the industry’s smallest in their class.

Magnachip Commences Mass Production of Two New 650V SJ MOSFETs with a Slim Form Factor

Magnachip Semiconductor Corporation announced has begun mass production of two new 650V Super Junction Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistors (SJ MOSFET) devices. These new SJ MOSFETs offer excellent design flexibility, efficient heat dissipation, and low RDS(on) (the resistance value between the drain and the source of MOSFETs during on-state operation) characteristics. As a result, they are well-suited for various applications that require compact size and high efficiency inc consumer electronics, as well as for chargers and adapters.

Modern PCB Design Practices: Part 2 — Tips and Techniques

The first article from audio expert Ethan Winer about Modern PCB Design Practices, gave a general overview of board design using surface-mounted devices (SMDs). The article examines current practices and methods for designing four-layer printed circuit boards using surface mounted components (SMDs), and this second part explains specific strategies and related issues to deal with the design and production of great quality PCBs. This article was originally published in audioXpress, March 2023.

Modern PCB Design Practices: Part 1 — An Overview of the Process

In this two-part series, Ethan Winer examines current practices and methods for designing four-layer printed circuit boards using surface-mounted components (SMDs). A great article for our DIY readers and many developers who often are faced with the need to build and test their projects on a properly designed, prototype printed circuit board. Part 1 presents an overview of the process, while Part 2 he will explain specific strategies. Many related issues will be described along the way.

Toshiba Develops SiC MOSFET with Embedded Schottky Barrier Diode that Delivers Low On-Resistance and High Reliability

Toshiba Develops SiC MOSFET with Embedded Schottky Barrier Diode that Delivers Low On-Resistance and High Reliability

Toshiba developed an SiC metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) that arranges embedded Schottky barrier diodes (SBD) in a check pattern to realize both low on-resistance and high reliability. Toshiba has confirmed that the design secures an approximately 20% reduction in on-resistance (RonA - the resistance value between the drain and source of a MOSFET during operation) against its current SiC MOSFET, with no loss of reliability.
