Latest solutions for smart driving displayed at AUTOMOTIVE WORLD
STMicroelectronics displayed its latest semiconductor solutions for smart driving at the 11thedition of the AUTOMOTIVE WORLD show in Tokyo, Japan. Building upon its broad range of automotive semiconductors, ST exhibited solutions that accelerate car digitalisation and electrification in autonomous driving, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), and power control for electric and hybrid electric vehicles (EV/HEV).
From idea to real prototype in a fast, flexible and lean way
The automotive industry request sensor prototypes to test new algorithms and application possibilities in the early stage of their design. For this reason, Infineon developed a new methodology, allowing a smooth transition from idea to implementation. By Simone Fontanesi, Gaetono Formato, Andrea Monterastelli, Infineon Technologies
Audio analyser upgraded with multiple features
Improved sine generator frequency stability, lower system residual distortion, single-ended, balanced analogue output and an optional ADC test mode which provides VBias, a common mode DC Bias are features of the APx555 B Series analyser from Audio Precision. It is part of their B Series APx audio analysers.
Meet the increasing needs of long-distance data transmission
Supplier of industrial communication solutions, Advantech, has extended their fibre optic media converter product range with the launch of the new models EKI-2541ML, EKI-2541SL, EKI-2741ML, EKI-2741SL and EKI-2741FL. Advantech is aware that the demand for media conversion is increasing, and understands the difficulty involved in replacing or rewiring existing devices.
Super-junction MOSFETs target energy-saving power topologies
Targeting energy-saving power topologies, STMicroelectronics’ MDmesh M6 series 600V super-junction transistors are engineered for high efficiency in medium-power resonant and hard-switching converter topologies. The threshold voltage optimised for soft switching makes the the new transistors suited for LLC resonant converters and boost-PFC converters in energy-conscious applications.
Isolated Bi-Directional DC-DC Converters Benefit Energy Storage Systems
TDK introduce the TDK-Lambda brand EZA11K-320240 bi directional DC-DC converters, suitable for use with energy storage systems. Rated at 11kW, this 1U high product will operate off a 240 – 400Vdc source from a high voltage grid and provide 150 – 300Vdc for charging lithium ion batteries. When grid power is not available, the converter will seamlessly transition to drawing stored energy from the batteries to deliver DC power back to th...
Power modules for lab instrumentation
According to a paper from Texas Instruments, PC-based lab instrumentation platforms make automating lab setup and data collection simple and effective. Furthermore, DC/DC converters for instrumentation systems such as Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) Extensions for Instrumentation (PXIe) systems have distinctive requirements.
Practical thermal design with DC/DC power modules
All DC/DC converters dissipate power in the form of heat. This heat has to be managed properly so that the converter maintains operation within the recommended temperature limits. Usually, the copper on the printed circuit board (PCB) is utilised to help dissipate the heat.
Online toolbox to tackle thermals before touching a soldering iron
For every ten degrees in junction temperature rise, the chances of your IC failing doubles. With megatrends like increasing power levels, shrinking PCB area, and smaller and smaller package sizes, how can you protect your design against heat and ensure long-term system reliability?
Power modules for lab instrumentation
PC-based lab instrumentation platforms make automating lab setup and data collection simple and effective. DC/DC converters for instrumentation systems such as Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) Extensions for Instrumentation (PXIe) systems have distinctive requirements: low electromagnetic interference (EMI), small solution size, high efficiency, a wide input voltage range, and good line and load regulation.
