More efficiency, greater robustness, smaller size – key trends in analog components

The semiconductor industry has responded to these challenges with solutions that simplify the design complexity of analog applications. One key advancement is the integration of multiple functional elements into a single component, reducing user-level complexity and minimising the risk of design errors.

Moreover, new semiconductor materials such as silicon carbide and gallium nitride enable components with continuously improving efficiency. This not only boosts the energy efficiency of systems but also allows assemblies to become increasingly compact.

Technology trends in brief

Increasing energy efficiency

The use of new semiconductor materials, known as wide-bandgap (WBG) semiconductors, can significantly enhance the efficiency and power density of devices. Silicon carbide (SiC) is primarily utilised in high-voltage high-power applications, while gallium nitride (GaN) is preferred for highest energy density applications.

Smaller form factor

With their higher switching speeds and greater power density, developing technologies enable significant space and weight savings. New power semiconductor packages shrink the design and enable different cooling concepts.

Improved reliability

Power semiconductors reduce the burden of heat dissipation. Innovative housings can accommodate increasing power in ever-smaller dimensions while protecting sensitive circuits. Integrating multiple chips along with components such as inductors, capacitors, and sensors into a single housing also enhances system reliability.

Increasing integration

Multifunctional electronic systems integrate various functions and components into a single compact housing, often combining multiple chips from different technologies. Examples include a controller with a power semiconductor or a data converter paired with a microcontroller and a high-voltage amplifier.
