Editor's Note

Maurizio Di Paolo Emilio – Editor-in-Chief

The December 2023 Power Electronics News eBook is online! It discusses power design trends, e-mobility, silicon carbide, isolation, and more! In this eBook, Timur Uludag, senior technical marketing manager at Würth Elektronik eiSos Group in the MagI3C Power Modules business unit, simplifies galvanic isolation and explains how it ensures data transmission in industrial intralogistics systems. Moreover, in this newsletter, we discuss the use of Sapphire in GaN power devices, Rail applications, the verticalization of the automotive industry and its infrastructure. Our future environment depends on renewable and sustainable energy. To maximize sustainable energy sources, energy gathering, and grid integration are essential. In the latest episode of the PowerUP podcast with Simon Keeton, executive vice president and general manager of the power solutions group at onsemi, we analyze the pivotal role of semiconductors and efficient grid integration for sustainable energy sources. We will also introduce the next PowerUP Energy Virtual Conference, coming on Dec. 12 and 13.
