Sommario/riassunto

The BaSIC topology is a revolutionary method for controlling power semiconductor devices. It enables monitoring the current flow through



the devices while providing a unique current limiting capability that enhances their short-circuit withstand capability. The book describes the BaSIC topology concept and contrasts it with previous approaches. It provides an extensive description of the application of the BaSIC topology to silicon IGBTs, silicon carbide power MOSFETs, and GaN HEMT devices. The ability to extend the short-circuit withstand time to over 10 ms for SiC power MOSFETs has been achieved for the first time with the BaSIC topology. The BaSIC topology is the only approach shown to eliminate the failure of these devices under repetitive short-circuit events. The sensing of current in paralleled devices is demonstrated, eliminating the need for external sensors. The BaSIC topology has utility for various power electronics applications, including electric vehicles and industrial motor drives. Introduces the BaSIC topology – a revolutionary new approach for the control of power devices; Describes the application of the BaSIC topology to silicon IGBTs, silicon carbide power MOSFETs, and GaN HEMT devices; Written by the inventor of the insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) and the BaSIC topology concept.

Sommario/riassunto

This book discusses Brexit’s implications for the two most important security institutions in Europe, the EU’s Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP) and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). While Brexit is still unfolding, this book asks what it would mean for the future embedding of the UK into CFSP and NATO, as well as how it will most likely affect the inner mechanics of the transatlantic alliance (NATO) and CFSP in particular, in the years to come. The book is divided into two parts. Part I provides a historical overview of the evolution of the relationships between the UK and NATO and the EU, respectively. Part II discusses the geopolitical contexts and potential impacts of Brexit, focusing on the contemporary security environment, as well as the options that the EU has, in the event an agreement is concluded. Using both predictive and normative arguments, this book provides likely scenarios for an event that continues to be a source of much uncertainty forthe global community. Making an important contribution to one of the most important policy debates in international security affairs today, this book is of interest to students and researchers of international security affairs, European politics, and global governance as well as policymakers and practitioners working on the Brexit file.
