7th ECPE SiC & GaN User Forum: Potential of Wide Bandgap Semiconductors in Power Electronic Applications

The wide bandgap user forum has established a valuable platform to exchange experience and ideas, to show best practice of power electronic systems with SiC or GaN, to discuss and find out how to appropriately design-in those almost ideal but also challenging components, and which open issues need to be addressed.

The Dark Side of the Internet

It is still a common belief, that modern electronics and the Internet make our daily life more comfortable and safer. Online banking, email, social networks and endless search opportunities on the Internet eliminate paper checks, letters and faxes and offer us huge amounts of knowledge and connections. But that's only one part of our modern life.
