Power Electronic Device Training Courses Like Never Before

Power electronic devices are in the heart of all power converter applications: power supplies, motors and drives, electric cars, solar panels, wind turbines. Better power electronic devices with as little power loses as possible determine the milage of the electric cars and the efficiency of the renewable energy sources. The projected growth of the power electronics semiconductor industry exceeds the projected growth for the rest of the semiconductor industry. The current downturn of the semiconductor industry has not affected much the power electronics device manufacturers.

However, the design and the optimisation of power electronics devices are in many respects more complicated than the design of the metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) transistors in CMOS chips. According to the CEO of Semiwise Professor Asenov “If you think that you know and understand power semiconductor devices, think again. The power electronics semiconductor devices are completely new world. Have you heard about conductivity modulation, reverse recovery, on state resistance, safe operating area? All these are essential for the design and the optimisation even of the simplest power electronics device – the silicon power PiN diode.”
