To ensure high quality wireless charging power transmitters, the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) has released the Qi 1.3 specification with the extended power profile. This new specification created demand for high security silicon authentication devices for full-service support.

Many electrical or electronic products require separate, replaceable refills or accessories during their useful life. These add-on items could include electronic as well as non-electronic devices. The safe and effective use of the main, electronic system depends upon the compatibility and proper usage of the two components. This is especially true in medical applications as COVID-19 increases the need for greater safety.

Microchip Technology announced the expansion of its SiC portfolio with the release of the industry’s lowest on-resistance [RDS(on)] 3.3 kV SiC MOSFETs and highest current-rated SiC SBDs available in the market.
