Nexperia, the expert in discrete, MOSFET and GaN FET components and analog
& logic ICs, today announced the PESD2V8R1BSF, industry’s first ESD protection
device dedicated for the USB4TM standard with industry-leading RF performance.
Of special interest to engineers designing USB4TM and Thunderbolt interfaces,
the new device uses Nexperia’s TrEOS ESD protection technology with active
silicon-controlled rectification. It delivers a winning combination of extremely
low capacitance (down to 0.1 pF); extremely low clamping (dynamic resistance down to 0.1 Ω) and very high robustness against surge and ESD
pulses (up to 20A 8/20 μs for very fast datalines). PESD2V8R1BSF comes in the ultra-low inductance SOD962 package.
Comments Stefan Seider, product manager at Nexperia: “To avoid signal integrity issues, the PESD2V8R1BSF ESD protection diode offers
extremely low insertion loss figures of -0.21 dB at 10 GHz and correspondingly low return loss figures of -17.4 dB at 10 GHz. The new ESD
protection device is suitable for the higher voltage requirements of USB 3.2.

Class
Competitive Devices
Lattice Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ: LSCC), the low power programmable leader,
today announced the first FPGA developed on its new Lattice Nexus™ FPGA platform,
CrossLink-NX™. This new FPGA provides the low power, small form factor, reliability, and
performance that developers need to create innovative embedded vision and AI solutions
for communications, compute, industrial, automotive, and consumer systems.
According to Patrick Moorhead, president and founder of Moor Insights & Strategy, “Technology trends like 5G connectivity,
cloud-based analytics, factory automation and the smart home are driving demand for embedded vision solutions that
support machine learning. However, the data latency, cost and privacy issues associated with cloud-based ML analytics
have sparked interest among developers in moving more data processing from the cloud to the Edge. But doing so
requires OEMs have access to Edge AI/ML inferencing solutions that offer high performance data processing, low power
operation, and a small form factor.”

Double pulse test data shows near-total
elimination of switching losses
Pre-Switch, Inc., a Silicon Valley start-up that has developed the world’sfirst
AI DC/AC, AC/DC soft-switching controller delivering efficiency and
performance benefits to a wide range of applications including EVs and
renewables, has released first data from its Cleanwave 200kW inverter
reference. Double pulse test data demonstrates that the Pre-Switch
soft-switching platform – comprising the Pre-Drive™3 controller board
powered by the Pre-Flex™ FPGA, and RPG gate driver board – reduces total system switching losses by 90% or more.
Pre-Switch is enabling customers to build systems with switching frequencies 4X-5X faster than their hard-switched IGBT
systems and 35X faster than their hard-switched SiC and GaN systems: this is achieved with half the transistor count. In the case
of a SiC-based EV inverter, increasing the Fsw from the ubiquitous 10kHz up to 100kHz or 300kHz creates a near perfect sine
wave without any output filter. The result is elimination of unnecessary motor iron losses and an increased motor efficiency at
low torque and low RPM. Higher switching frequencies also enable higher RPM motors that are lighter and lower cost.
