Canadian researchers proposed a laminate-free solar module using polycarbonate instead of EVA and glass. The new encapsulation technique reportedly enables easy disassembly, reuse of solar cells, and ...

Nordic Semiconductor and RF Digital have teamed up on a range of ISM-band modules that have been pre-approved by regulatory agencies (FCC and IC). The modules are intended for ultra-low power ...

In this pv magazine Webinar, developed in partnership with Q Cells, we will examine some of the different approaches to high-density module design that are appearing on the market, placing recent ...

Size and power often seem like opposite sides of a coin. When you reduce size – one of the ever-pressing goals in our industry – you inevitably reduce power. But does that have to be the case? By ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Let’s face it: Some lucky folks don’t have to worry too much about power conversion. Just plug the board into the ...

STMicroelectronics has introduced two new products—a wireless microcontroller (MCU) and wireless module—that are designed to simplify the design of short-range wireless connectivity devices. Aimed at ...

The LEC-iMX8M SMARC module family is based on the NXP i.MX8M SoC family that’s built on Arm’s 64-bit Cortex-A53 and 32-bit Cortex-M4. Multiple configurations exist of each type, which is an advantage ...

I enjoy seeing modules that can make designing other devices easier, and when I did a call for design reviews, [enp6s0] has submitted one such board to us. It’s a module called TinySparrow (GitHub), ...

A power module is a high-power switching circuit used in applications for electric vehicles, renewable energy, photovoltaics, wind power, and much more. Switching-element IGBTs and MOSFETs are used in ...
