CEA-Leti and CEA-Liten are joining forces to develop a low-loss inverter to boost photovoltaic solar panel conversion efficiency. Inverters transform the direct current PV panel output into alternating current compatible with domestic electricity networks.The new inverter is built on 100V and 650V GaN on silicon power transistors. It is faster (150 kHz) and cuts losses […] >>

Radiological diagnostics, which include X-ray and other imaging techniques, can be a challenge if a patient cannot be transported or is located far from a medical imaging facility.A Thales-led project involving CEA-Leti to develop mobile point-of-care radiology solutions recently obtained French government funding*.The project consortium is investigating a lightweight, ergonomic X-ray machine and a mobile […] >>

CEA-Leti developed some truly exceptional wireless vibration and temperature sensors for the EU H2020 PreCoM project on decision support for predictive maintenance.The sensors were tested on ten-meter-high machine tools used to manufacture wind-turbine hubs.With power consumption of just 10 µwatts in sleep mode and 10 mW to 15 mW when awake, the sensors are extremely […] >>
