Start with the news release
Power driver suits high-temperature operation from
Cissoid, which we summarised at the time by saying "Cissoid has released Prometheus-II, a fast, high-temperature power-transistor-driver reference design that is suitable for operation from -55 to 225C. ".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release ARM microcontroller features single 5V supply from
Toshiba Electronics: "Toshiba Electronics Europe has introduced an ARM Cortex-M3 microcontroller that features a single 5V supply.".
In December 2009, we covered the news from Toshiba Electronics Europe
- take a look at Toshiba introduces optically coupled isolators
which says: "Toshiba Electronics Europe has introduced a range of ultra-low-power optically coupled isolators designed to drive IGBTs and power Mosfets in applications requiring output currents up to +/-6.0A.".
Take a look also at the news release from Semikron, Semikron IGBT module utilise Fuji V-IGBT chips,
as well as Allegro IC senses currents of 12.5-25A nominal from Allegro Microsystems,
and APS offers range of power semiconductor assemblies from Applied Power Systems.
