I’m excited to share our latest work presented at PCIM Europe 2025: “Next Generation SiC Technology Targeting Long Distance Driving.” In this paper, we explore how next-generation 1200 V CoolSiC™ trench MOSFETs push the boundaries of electric vehicle inverters. Their low conduction and switching losses, combined with the ability to operate up to 200 °C, improve efficiency, extend driving range, and reduce overall system cost - all of which are key enablers for long-distance EV driving.

Wireless charging is no longer a future promise. It’s here, and it’s changing how we power EVs and AGVs. At IECON 2025, the tutorial Advanced Static and Dynamic Wireless Charging will take a practical look at: - The fundamentals of wireless power transfer - Designing misalignment-tolerant magnetic couplers - Control strategies for better efficiency - Real case studies from static and dynamic charging It’s a chance to discuss real challenges, explore solutions, and see where wireless charging is headed next.

🔧 Teardown, Assembly, and Cost Analysis - Continental ARS620 / ARS6-A Front Radar We recently conducted a teardown of the Continental ARS620 ARS6-A long-range front #radar, which stands out for its innovative “wave guide” antenna design. To better understand this breakthrough, we performed a cross-section and EDX analyses to identify the materials used and reveal what makes this module unique compared to previous radar architectures.   Inside, we also found a Texas Instruments RF #transceiver, already familiar from past reports. The true innovation lies in the combination of this powerful #RF front end with the advanced wave guide antenna, making the ARS620 ARS6-A a significant step forward in radar technology for next-generation driver-assistance and autonomous systems. 👉 Curious to know more ? https://lnkd.in/eXE8zJ2v Arnaud Morillon

We’re taking a closer look at Continental’s Long-Range Radar, featuring an advanced Wave Guide Antenna. Our Teardown & Reverse Costing Report is now available, delivering a deep dive into the design choices, technology, and cost structure behind this innovative radar solution. #Automotive #Radar #ADAS #Costing #Teardown

Excited to share that our latest research paper, “Analysis and Optimisation of GaN-Based AC-DC Converters for Enhanced ZVS Performance,” presented at the PCIM conference in Nuremberg, Germany, is now available on IEEE Xplore in the following link. https://lnkd.in/gMcFt2mV Resonant converters are known for their efficiency through soft switching, but often at the cost of added components and complexity. In this work, we present a technique for achieving natural Zero Voltage Switching (ZVS) in GaN-based AC-DC converters without requiring any additional resonant components. By leveraging parasitic capacitances and controlling the inductor current, the method significantly reduces switching losses, EMI, and improves power density. #GaN #PowerElectronics #ZVS #IEEE #ACDCConverters #GaNResearch

✏️ Yesterday’s webinar with Sotiris Zorbas was all about moving From Endless Iterations to Efficient DAB Transformer Design. 💡 Highlights from the session: - DAB topologies enable bidirectional power flow, key for EVs, UPS and grid-support applications. - Leakage inductance defines maximum power transfer. - Achieving ZVS is all about the balance between leakage, capacitances and phase shifts. - We reviewed a 1.5 kW DAB design example (400V → 48V battery pack, 200 kHz, 1500W). And yes… we asked a final question for the audience: 👉 Any idea about n? Respond in comments Next week we’ll continue with the hands-on session in Frenetic Simulator, putting this DAB design into practice. 🚀 #Frenetic #FreneticSimulator #MagneticsIntelligence #PowerElectronics #DAB #MagneticDesign

🔬✨ We are very pleased to share a milestone in our research collaboration under the Met4EVCS: Metrology for electric vehicle charging systems project of the Metrology Partnership by EURAMET - The European Association of National Metrology Institutes. A voltage and current transducer box, developed at EMC Barcelona for measuring conducted emissions up to 150 kHz, has been successfully calibrated in the supraharmonic range thanks to the expertise of our colleagues at LNE (Laboratoire National de Métrologie et d’Essais). This custom transducer is designed for DC to 150 kHz operation, enabling simultaneous high- and low-frequency measurements of both voltage and current in EV charging systems. It forms a key element of our measurement setup, which, together with our software platform emiGO, allows for the accurate time- and frequency-domain characterization of conducted disturbances in Electric Vehicle Charging Stations (EVCS). The calibration work performed at LNE ensures the traceability and reliability of our measurements, reinforcing the robustness of the methodologies developed in the project. 👏 A big thank you to our colleagues at LNE, Daniela Istrate and Braise TRINCAZ, for their collaboration and for welcoming us to your fantastic laboratories. We look forward to continuing this joint effort with all project partners to enhance the metrology that supports the future EV charging infrastructure. #EMC #Supraharmonics #EVCharging #Calibration #ResearchCollaboration #MET4EVCS #Standardization #EURAMET

The engineering models EM1 of Nyx’s Battery Charge Regulator (Solar Array to Battery power converter) arrived and are being tested in our lab.
