An ENERGY STAR third-party testing requirement that went into effect at the beginning of the year is now being met with some resistance by manufacturers. The issue begs the question: When does the expense of efficiency labeling become cost-prohibitive?

SemiSouth is delivering industry's first 650 V silicon carbide JFET power transistors. The fast switching speeds, large current handling capability combined with the superior thermal properties of SiC makes these devices ideal candidates for power electronic applications. They employ vertical trench JFET structures, which allow for industry-leading on-resistance per unit area, as much as five to ten times lower than competing technologies.

PI's new video introduction to SemiSouth Silicon Carbide diodes demonstrates the performance you may be missing.

最近イタリアで行われた EC エコデザイン会議で関係者は外付け電源 (EPS) の効率規制強化を引き続き支持する姿勢を示しました。 また、米国 DoE が新たに提案した EPS 基準と協調を目指す強い意向が示されました。

会議の内容に関する Mr. Green の見解については、グリーンルームをご覧ください。

At a recent EC Code of Conduct meeting in Italy, stakeholders expressed an interest in tightening efficiency limits for external power supplies (EPSs). The group also showed a desire to harmonize with the U.S. DoE's new proposed EPS standards.

Power Integrations announced that it has completed the acquisition of CT-Concept Technologie AG (known as CONCEPT), effective May 1.

Concept's highly integrated, energy-efficient products are used in a range of high-voltage power-conversion applications including industrial motor drives, renewable energy generation, electric trains and trams, high-voltage DC transmission, electric cars and medical equipment.

Revenues increased eight percent sequentially to $71.8 million; cash flow from operations was $21.6 million

収益は 7180 万ドルまで連続して 8% 上昇、営業活動によるキャッシュフローは 2160 万ドル

カリフォルニア州エネルギー委員会 (CEC) は最近、各種製品グループに対する効率規制がいつ発効されるかをまとめたスケジュールを発表しました。 規制が発効されると、違反者に対して罰金及び回収処分が課されるようになります。
