Microchip Technology&rsquo;s silicon carbide (SiC) business unit. A long-tenured employee of Microchip, Clayton joined the company in 2005 as a product marketer for the newly created 32-bit microcontroller business unit. He worked in various high-profile roles across Microchip, including starting the smart energy vertical market, leading the wireless solutions group and human machine interface division (HMID), as well as multiple corporate responsibilities. Prior to leading the SiC business unit, he was vice president of HMID.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Clayton earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering from Arizona State University.

This is critical because moving to 3.3 kV device ratings and above will expand the benefits of this disruptive semiconductor technology into areas where it&rsquo;s just as badly needed as automotive. One example is the electric grid. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, nearly 250 terawatt-hours of electricity is lost each year &ndash; wasted energy that could have powered 2.5 million American homes through all four seasons.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This talk will focus on how Microchip&rsquo;s strategies of diversified end markets and investment in core competencies allow us to push SiC toward higher voltages&mdash;for an increasingly sustainable world. Whether SiC is used to dramatically improve the efficiency of our grid&rsquo;s power flow, or to design compact, air-cooled solid-state transformers that better incorporate distributed energy resources like solar, wind and energy storage, SiC&rsquo;s future goes well beyond the car.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-ljsozhed-c474f612819b21783cd7c7631dbabec3 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>&#8220;Update on SiC and GaN Market Dynamics&#8221; &ndash; Jeff Perkins, Yole<\/strong><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<div  class='flex_column av-12rkg94-0a73df59ddde82c59e8de9eb0bdbdbaa av_one_third  avia-builder-el-38  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_two_third  first flex_column_div  column-top-margin'     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-ljsp596p-69bf0ed3441e62df1634e3bc83230188\">\n.avia-image-container.av-ljsp596p-69bf0ed3441e62df1634e3bc83230188 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-ljsp596p-69bf0ed3441e62df1634e3bc83230188 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-ljsp596p-69bf0ed3441e62df1634e3bc83230188 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-39  avia-builder-el-no-sibling '   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-18594 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-18594 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/poweramericainstitute.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Jeff-Perkins-Yole-217x300.jpg\" alt='' title='Jeff Perkins Yole'  height=\"300\" width=\"217\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" srcset=\"https:\/\/poweramericainstitute.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Jeff-Perkins-Yole-217x300.jpg 217w, https:\/\/poweramericainstitute.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Jeff-Perkins-Yole.jpg 433w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 217px) 100vw, 217px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<div  class='flex_column av-u320tk-d6d3cb6cf595820d48b1fc063105aeb3 av_two_third  avia-builder-el-40  el_after_av_one_third  el_before_av_partner  flex_column_div  column-top-margin'     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-ljsp1j8n-2850af63330266aada4a046962bd05af '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><strong>Jeff Perkins, Yole<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Jeff established Yole&rsquo;s business in North America from 2007 to 2012 and rejoined Yole Group in 2020 as EVP &amp; GM for Yole North America. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Jeff has managed divisions, led business development, mentored sales teams, and overseen product launches on four continents. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">He has a highly diverse background across a range of industries including energy and electrification, semiconductor, automotive, and heavy truck. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Jeff holds an MBA from INSEAD at Fontainebleau, France, and a B.S. in Building Energy Engineering \/ from the University of Colorado at Boulder.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":352,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"ncst_custom_author":"","ncst_show_custom_author":false,"footnotes":""},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/poweramericainstitute.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/18504"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/poweramericainstitute.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/poweramericainstitute.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/poweramericainstitute.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/352"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/poweramericainstitute.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18504"}],"version-history":[{"count":13,"href":"https:\/\/poweramericainstitute.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/18504\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18596,"href":"https:\/\/poweramericainstitute.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/18504\/revisions\/18596"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/poweramericainstitute.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18504"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
