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.

Green Hills Software recently announced its collaboration with NXP Semiconductors to provide a combined hardware and software solution for developing and deploying safety-focused, mixed-criticality SDV zonal architectures based on NXP's new S32K5 MCU family.

The LMR38020-Q1 synchronous buck converter is designed to regulate over a wide input voltage range, minimizing the need for external surge suppression components. The LMR38020-Q1 operates during input voltage dips as low as 4.2V, at nearly 100% duty cycle if needed, making the device an excellent choice for 48-V battery automotive applications and MHEV/EV systems.

Real-Time Innovations (RTI), the infrastructure software company for smart-world systems, has announced that RTI Connext Drive now runs in over 1 million vehicles on the road worldwide.

The RES60A-Q1 is a matched resistive divider, implemented in thin-film SiCr with Texas Instruments’ modern, high-performance, analog wafer process. A high quality SiO2 insulative layer encapsulates the resistors and enables usage at extremely high voltages, up to 1400VDC for sustained operation or 4000VDC for HiPOT testing (60s).

Vianode, an advanced battery materials company, launches the first high-performance solution based on recycled graphite as part of its next-generation material series.

In modern electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), the battery management system (BMS) serves as the brain of the battery pack, responsible for ensuring battery performance, safety and longevity. The BMS monitors parameters such as state of charge, which provides insight into the remaining energy available, and state of health, which assesses the overall condition and aging of the battery cells. These metrics help maintain eff...

Melexis is pleased to unveil the MLX80142 two RGB LED driver (six channels), the latest addition to its smart state machine LED driver portfolio and the first to incorporate MeLiBu 2.0.
