Power electronics is rapidly evolving, with growing demand for smarter, more efficient, and scalable power supplies. Digital control offers these benefits but has struggled in the 50 W–1 kW range due to the cost and power needs of microcontrollers, leaving analog control dominant but limited. This article shows how ROHM’s LogiCoA™ overcomes that gap by combining analog efficiency with digital flexibility—making advanced control practical for mainstream industrial equipment. It reviews current limitations, introduces the hybrid approach, and highlights the gains in cost, performance, and design freedom.

Ever wondered how we achieve high-frequency, low-noise, and ultra-efficient performance in devices like 5G/6G transceivers, radar, and satellite systems? The answer lies in High-Electron-Mobility Transistors (HEMTs), a breakthrough in semiconductor technology that leverages 2D electron gas (2DEG) for unmatched speed and efficiency. In my recent write-up, I break down: > What makes HEMTs different from conventional FETs? > Types of HEMTs (pHEMT, mHEMT, eHEMT, dHEMT). > Real-world applications in communications, imaging, and power systems. Whether you’re into semiconductors, RF engineering, or power electronics, this is a tech worth exploring. Check it out and let’s discuss how HEMTs are shaping the future of electronics! #Semiconductors #HEMT #Electronics #5G #6G #PowerElectronics #Innovation

Simplifying power measurement with logic? There's a cost-effective technique for measuring active power using isolated ADCs and a single XNOR logic gate, eliminating the need for an analog multiplier or microcontroller. Check out this new article by my colleague Dan Tooth, where he converts voltage and current signals to digital bitstreams that can be multiplied through a basic XNOR gate. #analogdesign #engineering #powerelectronics #SignalChainBasics

What is a power semiconductor switch? A power semiconductor switch is a controlled electronic device that repeatedly changes between on and off states. It is a solid-state switch, meaning it performs this function without mechanical movement. These switches are commonly grouped by control characteristics: uncontrolled, semi-controlled, and fully controlled. Power diodes, for example, fall under the uncontrolled category, thyristors are semi-controlled, and MOSFETs and IGBTs are fully controlled. In uncontrolled devices, switching is dictated entirely by external circuit conditions.
