MARKET NEWS 7 www.power-mag.com Issue 2 2024 Power Electronics Europe ROHM Group Company SiCrystal and STMicroelectronics Expand Silicon Carbide Wafer Supply Agreement ROHM and STMicroelectronics, a global semiconductor leader serving customers across the spectrum of electronics applications, announced today the expansion of the existing multi-year, long-term 150mm silicon carbide (SiC) substrate wafers supply agreement with SiCrystal, a ROHM group company. The new multi-year agreement governs the supply of larger volumes of SiC substrate wafers manufactured in Nuremberg, Germany, for a minimum expected value of $230 million. more information can be found at www.st.com Power Dissipation in Power Entry Modules Power entry modules (PEMs) consist of a combination of different components for the safe power supply of devices. In addition to the IEC appliance inlet connector, mains switches, fuseholders or circuit breakers and filters can be integrated. The company claims all these components are tested according to their respective component standard so that the entire component can be certified by the certification bodies. Each of these components is designed for a specific minimum and maximum ambient temperature. Important: The maximum rated current may only be used at the rated temperature. At higher ambient temperatures, the current must be reduced accordingly. This is usually specified in the temperature derating on the data sheets.
