Delphi Automotive has the electrical/electronic architecture (E/EA) products automakers need to save space and weight on their vehicles. Reduced gauge cable, miniaturized connection systems, micro-fuse electrical centers and advanced materials, such as Delphi Aluminum Alloy Cable, all help lighten the load vehicles are carrying, which directly improves fuel economy for drivers. The technologies will be on display at the SAE World Congress here th...

With IPEbutton, IPETRONIK offers a compact, smart accessory for IPETRONIK measurement systems. IPEbutton outputs a predefined message to the CANbus once the illuminated push button is pressed. Depending on the type of IPEbutton, it is used to initiate an offset adjust or a shuntcheck for M-SENS and SIM-STG modules. Other applications include send requests to receive signal values from a sensor (polling), start a storage group of a data logger con...

In order to ensure reliable operation of motor vehicles on the road, German law requires a motor vehicle type approval (Allgemeine Betriebs-Erlaubnis, ABE) – also referred to as e1 approval – for all components that are connected to the vehicle's electrical system. To meet these requirements, IPETRONIK now offers the SAM-CAN-ISO module SAM-ISO011-23A0. This separating module for establishing a coupling with the CAN bus has been awarded e1 cer...

Toshiba Electronics Europe (TEE) has announced an ultra-compact, extended temperature photocoupler that provides a space-saving solution for industrial applications that require an isolation interface between intelligent power modules (IPMs) and IC control circuitry.

Murata today announced the GCJ series of monolithic ceramic capacitors designed to accommodate the bending, vibration and thermal conditions experienced in under-bonnet automotive applications.

Maxim Integrated Products introduces the latest members of its high-speed LVDS serializer/deserializer (SerDes) family: the MAX9263/MAX9265 serializers and MAX9264 deserializer. This gigabit multimedia serial link (GMSL) chipset features high-bandwidth digital content protection (HDCP), and forms a complete, secure, bidirectional digital-video link (HDCP-GMSL*) for transmission of digital video and audio over a single DC-balanced twisted-pair or ...

Integrated Silicon Solution, Inc. today introduced a family of 512Mb DDR SDRAMs with speeds up to 200Mhz, targeted for automotive, communications, and industrial applications. The introduction of this product family now, using advanced technology, enables ISSI to provide the long term product support required by these targeted applications.

SMSC today announced the availability of its OS81092 Intelligent Network Interface Controller for MOST. The MOST50 technology with an electrical physical layer has been successfully deployed in many car models since it first hit the road in 2007. Now, SMSC is proud to announce the availability of a cost-down version of the well established MOST50 Intelligent Network Interface Controller - the OS81092.

Cypress Semiconductor Corp. today introduced new serial non-volatile Static Random Access Memories (nvSRAMs) with I2C and SPI interfaces popular with metering, industrial and automotive applications. The new devices deliver operating frequencies up to 104MHZ for the SPI devices (3.4MHz for the I2C products) and are also offered with an optional integrated Real-Time Clock (RTC) that enables time-stamping of critical data to be backed-up.
