When something happens, or changes, then something else can happen—or may start to happen. Is that something that I like? Or is it something I don’t like? I have used this analysis many times, as in “What’s All This Fuzzy-Logic Stuff, Anyhow? (Part 4)” (Nov. 6, 2000; ...... Read the Entire Post Here

GaN-Based Power Device Signals Next-Gen Power Conversion
(5 Comments)
International Rectifier Corp. has successfully developed a GaN-based (gallium-nitride) power-device technology platform. It’s expected to provide improvements in two key application-specific figures of merit, on resistance and gate charge, of up to a factor of 10 compared to state-of-the-art silicon-based technology platforms. On resistance relates to how much current you can process in a unit area. It also can be related to the cost per amp of processing the power. Gate charge, which is the on resistance multiplied by the charge being switched, deals with how well a device can be used in...

With the infamous naked (painted) booth babes of 2006 Electronica replaced by a foosball table, Electronica 2008 seemed to have had a little less flash (or was that flesh?) and sizzle than some previous shows. Maybe this was a concession to the tough global economic times. But despite the steady stream of news about global recession, the mood at Electronica was one of “business as usual” with a look to the future. The show was a big success....
