With the expansion of the IoT market, power ICs with low current consumption are being released by various manufacturers. When selecting components, do you have the following concerns? - All manufacturers claim low current consumption, but it's hard to see the differences. - There are concerns about responsiveness due to low current consumption. - It cannot be implemented unless it is the same size as conventional products. The latest power IC from Nisshinbo Micro Devices, characterized by its "super" low current consumption, is a product that addresses these concerns. In this webinar, we will clearly explain the new technology that enables this performance by comparing it with conventional technology. ● Target Audience - Designers of applications powered by primary batteries such as coin cells and dry batteries (smart meters, wearable devices, hearing aids, etc.) ● Agenda 1.

In common 48/24V power supply designs for industrial equipment, pressure margin, heat generation, and implementation labor are significant challenges. One solution to this is the introduction of a non-isolated DC/DC module that adopts GaN FETs and achieves a maximum output of 20A. This module contributes to shortening the startup period and reducing design labor through its "just place it" modular structure. ● Title "Realizing 'Short Lead Time and Low Risk' in High Power Design" ～80V Voltage Rating × GaN FET Equipped × Maximum 20A: "Just Place It Easy" Non-Isolated DC/DC Module～ ● Agenda - Part 1: Demand and Latest Trends in DC/DC Modules Basics and challenges of DC/DC design Value of "just place it" modules Market size and trends in 48/24V - Part 2: Introduction of New DC/DC Module Product Concept Product Overview (80V Voltage Rating × GaN FET × Maximum 20A) Performance comparison with other high voltage DC/DC module products (efficiency, temperature, size) Heat generation demonstration (actual measurements) Expected applications (embedded control in industrial machinery) Development schedule (subject to change)

The semiconductor fundamentals course by Nisshinbo Micro Devices has received positive feedback with numerous participants each time.
