Wallbox – Charging Stations: Efficient Management of Internal Power Supply.

Francesco Grasso, Associate Professor at the University of Florence, Department of Computer Engineering.

“Designing existing and planned EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment) in a way that allows for the easy integration of various types of power transistors such as IGBT, Silicon, SiC, Cascode, and GaN, even when their gate drive voltages are not the same, is a particular challenge. This is especially true for SiC as each new generation has different maximum and recommended gate drive voltage limits.”

SiC and Si Based Components for EV Charging Circuits

Udo Steinebrunner, product manager, Product Manager Diotec Semiconductor powered by EDO Components

Power semiconductors based on silicon carbide play an important role in the centre stage of electric vehicle charging circuits. But there is still a lot of innovation in traditional silicon components. This presentation informs about the advantages of either technology, and introduces dedicated MOSFETs, Schottky Diodes, High Voltage and Low Power Loss Rectifiers. Get an overview about the right components for input rectification, power conditioning, inverter stage, auxiliary circuits, over-voltage and ESD protection. Diotec Semiconductor is a manufacturer with European headquarters, and four own worldwide located factories. Since 50 years, it offers a deep know-how from wafer and chip production to assembly and test of semiconductor devices.
