Dear Friends,

During my first expert talk in 2023 last week, I discussed Wide Bandgap with engineers from ROHM, Navitas, and VisIC. Don't mind if you missed it, the recording is available on my website at bodospower.com/wbg.aspx. Here you can also find the recordings of all previous sessions!

Next month, APEC takes place in Orlando, FL. My magazine will be at the show, and it will contain finally again, the very popular floorplan with the logos of all my supporters. That means all advertisers during the past 12 months who exhibit there will find their logo at the floorplan. If you feel your logo shouldn't be missing, contact holger@bodospower.com and find out how to get it in!

Find all my magazines from 2006 on in our free archive on bodospower.com.
Do not miss our Chinese version bodospowerchina.com.
There is no better way to communicate. We all share one world.
As a publisher I serve the world: one magazine, on time, every time.

Best Regards,

Bodo Arlt editor@bodospower.com
