Power and Power Supply Solutions: Maximizing Performance and Efficiency

Power, it’s a requirement for every piece of equipment or product you develop. Sometimes you need AC/DC and/or onboard DC-DC power to drive industrial, communications, healthcare, or lighting systems. Other times you need to maintain long-term power in a portable or remote sensor as part of an Internet of Things (IoT) solution.

And an ongoing shift towards renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, and hydropower, as countries and companies around the world seek to reduce their carbon footprint and mitigate the effects of climate change, means that the technology in power is always changing and advancing. 

The important thing is you need to get your power solutions right to get maximum performance. Avnet Silica’s experts will help you match technologies aligned with your requirements to deliver the right solution without exceeding your power budget.

We’ll show you the right power solution whether you’re designing power components onto your board or using an AC/DC supply in your system.

A wide selection gives you the power to choose

Build or buy? Custom design or off-the-shelf supply? These are some of the questions you’ll consider as you design power into your system. Avnet’s broad offering gives you the ability to weigh the power solution options with our team and decide what works best for you.

When GaN is too fast for your application, consider SiC instead
By Avnet Staff   -   February 21, 2024
Technical article
The best power converters are not always the ones that switch the fastest. Gallium Nitride (GaN) switches faster than other power transistors, but sometimes it is too fast. Silicon Carbide (SiC) MOSFETs may sometimes be a better option.
