ST Virtual Booth for the 2020 Applied Power Electronics Conference

April 18, 2020 by Paul Shepard

The 2020 Applied Power Electronics Conference (APEC 2020) was cancelled due to health concerns related to the corona virus outbreak. In response STMicroelectronics has created a virtual booth with the company's latest innovations in power electronics that would have been presented at APEC 2020.

You can browse through demos, videos and online presentations to find the information you need to address the challenges you face in your projects.
