In everything from AI data centers to EV battery chargers, power electronics are under more pressure to perform.
These systems need to handle high voltages and run very efficiently to minimize losses and prevent excess heat generation. At the same time, system-level demands continue to drive higher power density with high-frequency operation. Silicon carbide (SiC) and other new materials for power devices can help solve some of these problems, while more advanced circuit designs can tackle others. But the biggest difference will ultimately come from adopting both.
