Vishay to showcase passive and semiconductor solutions at electronica 2024

In hall C4, booth 478, Vishay will be showcasing its differentiated products and solutions in a range of applications and use cases, including AI, alternative energy, energy storage systems (ESS), ADAS, e-mobility and urban mobility, EV charging infrastructure, HMI, HVAC, grid management, and building automation. In reference designs on display, Vishay's components — including the company's latest silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFETs, diodes, and power modules — make up to 70 % or more of the BOMs.

Among the highlights taking centre stage at Vishay's booth will be:

AI

• A multi-phase power board for SoCs used in AI applications featuring 100 A smart power stages, ultra low DCR, vertical-mount IHVR inductors, and polymer tantalum capacitors

Alternative energy

• An auxiliary power system for solar inverters, featuring 1200 V MaxSiC series SiC MOSFETs and FRED Pt hyperfast rectifiers for the conversion of 100 V to 700 V inputs down to 24 V
• A bidirectional 230 V AC / 1500 V DC multi-waveform direct inverter with battery storage, featuring surface-mount MOSFETs with low on-resistance and NTC thermistors
• A 10 kW hybrid solar inverter with MPPT, featuring 1200 V, 15 A SiC diodes

e-Mobility

• An intelligent battery shunt built on WSBE Power Metal Strip resistors, with low TCR and a CAN FD interface for 400 V / 800 V systems
• A 22 kW bidirectional 800 V to 800 V power converter for OBCs featuring SiC power modules
• A 4 kW bidirectional 800 V to 48 V power converter for auxiliary power featuring Si and SiC MOSFETs
• Active discharge circuits with wirewound safety resistors and MOSFET drivers for 400 V / 800 V DC-Link capacitors

ADAS

• A DMS / CMS system in which IR LEDs shut off when a user comes too close, featuring high accuracy ambient lights sensors with I²C interfaces; reflective optical sensors with transistor output; and fully integrated proximity and ambient lights sensors with infrared emitters, I²C interfaces, and interrupt functions

ESS

• Isolated busbar current sensors with analog output in which an isolation amplifier transmits voltage signals from a WSBE shunt and WSL2726 resistor

HMI and EMI suppression

• An HMI featuring IHPT series haptic feedback actuators with Immersion Corporation licenses
• A multi-axis robot capturing and displaying the EMI performance of IHLE inductors and competing devices running side by side

Grid management and power conversion

• A smart meter and gateway for the real-time monitoring of energy consumption and generation in the home
• A bidirectional 72 V / 12 V DC/DC converter with Transzorb TVS for telecom power supplies

Additional reference designs and demonstrations being offered by Vishay at electronica 2024 will include isolated AC/DC voltage sensors for high voltage networks; a BMS optical communication system; a compact 800 V power distribution solution; a 48 V, 15 kW traction inverter; a 48 V, 3 kW on-board charger; a 30 kW fast charger; a BLDC motor control board for heat pumps; a smart smoke, CO, and heat detector with supercapacitor backup; a photovoltaic energy harvester featuring ENYCAP capacitors; a dual-side cooled, low voltage BLDC motor controller with high thermal efficiency, as well as designs featuring inrush current limiters and sensing thermistor solutions from the company's latest acquisition: Ametherm.
