Power Electronics Forum – Electronica 2020

This year, electronica was held purely virtually from November 9 to 12. Aspencore, one of the major media partners of electronica, was organizing  the virtual Power Electronics Forum and the virtual Embedded Forum. The 4-days conference program of the forums, which was followed by more than 1,200 visitors, is now available on demand.

The Power Electronics Forum at electronica virtual provides technical papers about innovative applications and technologies, trends and new product offerings covering the whole range of Power Electronics Components, Power Supplies and Batteries.

The Power Electronics Forum focuses on following topics:

Abstract: The global power electronics market is worth $17.5B, with a 4.3% Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) from 2019-2025, mainly pushed by automatization, efficiency regulations and clean energy goals. Within this market, we can differentiate three different major drivers: silicon MOSFETs, IGBT modules and Wide Band Gap (WBG) devices. The WBG market is driven by SiC MOSFET module adoption in EV/HEVs, such as Tesla and BYD. Technology-wise, there are still developments at die level for all these components and there is a trend for more performant modules with advanced materials and packaging. During the presentation, we will go over the highlights of the market evolution and will show real examples of actual technologies used by the main manufacturers, for both Silicon and WBG.
