As vehicle architectures transition to hybrid and electric models, conventional battery systems are increasingly being supplemented or replaced by 48V power sources. This shift is expected to become the new standard for future electric vehicles, as 12V and 24V power net systems reach their limits.

Mazda and ROHM have commenced a joint development of automotive components using gallium nitride (GaN) power semiconductors, which are expected to be the next-generation semiconductors.

TTTech Auto announces the launch of the PM-350, the latest addition to its Automotive Data Logger family, designed specifically for Software-Defined Vehicle (SDV) verification and validation.

Four Single Pair Ethernet and eight GMSL2 ports, plus an NVIDIA SoM (System-on-Module). With the rugged computer RML A4AGX SPE, Syslogic is paving the way for sensor fusion in vehicles and autonomous machines.

dSPACE has announced a collaboration with the internationally renowned Institute for Machine Learning (IML) at Johannes Kepler University to integrate Generative AI technologies into the dSPACE portfolio to accelerate data-driven development.

The TPS4811x-Q1 family is a 100V smart high side driver with protection and diagnostics. With wide operating voltage range of 3.5V–80V, the device is suitable for 12V, 24V, and 48V system designs. It has a strong 3.7A peak source (PU) and 4A peak sink (PD) GATE driver that enables power switching using parallel FETs in high current system designs. Use INP as the gate driver control input.

Renesas has introduced the RAA278830 video diagnostics bridge IC, a highly integrated dual low-voltage differential signal (LVDS) LCD video processor. The new IC integrates many of the features necessary to design ISO 26262-compliant ASIL B automotive display systems such as heads-up-displays (HUD), digital instrument clusters, camera monitor systems (CMS), and electronic mirrors.

Microchip Technology’s PolarFire System on Chip (SoC) FPGAs have earned the Automotive Electronics Council (AEC)-Q100 qualification.

Renesas Electronics has introduced a new Bluetooth chip that combines a radio transceiver, an Arm M0+ microcontroller, memory, peripherals, and security features all in one compact SoC design.

Nexperia has introduced an AEC-Q100 qualified 12-channel, 40V high-side LED driver integrated circuit (IC) that complies with the ASIL-B level for designing functionally safe automotive lighting, including tail, brake, signal, and in-cabin illumination applications.
