AI chip to speed predictive maintenance in smart factories
ROHM Semiconductor and A*STAR’sInstitute of Microelectronics (IME), a renowned research institute under the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR), recently announced the joint development of an artificial intelligence (AI) chip to boost efficiency in predictive maintenance for smart factories.
Verification solution adopted for automotive IC development flow
Cadence Design Systems has announced that the Cadence Functional Safety Verification Solution was adopted by ROHM CO in its design flow for ISO 26262-compliant ICs and LSIs for the automotive market. The Cadence fault simulation technology and seamless reuse of functional and mixed-signal verification environments enables an ISO 26262-compliant development flow that can reduce the effort required to complete the safety verification process up to ...
Seminars focus on wide bandgap semiconductor advances
A programme of European ‘Wide Bandgap Technology’ seminars which will help design engineers to take advantage of the latest SiC and GaN components has been announced by Future Electronics. SiC (silicon carbide) and GaN (gallium nitride) wide bandgap semiconductor materials are attracting great interest from power engineers because of their superior thermal, switching and power-handling characteristics compared to silicon.
Cutting edge sensors point the way to San Jose
Cutting-edge sensor technologies from a variety of suppliers will be highlighted by Mouser Electronics at the Sensors Expo and Conference 2017,(27-29 June) at the McEnery Convention Center in San Jose, California. The Sensors conference has established itself as the leading event in North America focused on sensors, MEMS, and related technologies within the industry.
IGBT structure aids switching in industrial and home applicances
PCIM Europe 2017: A new generation of IGBTs, announced by Rohm, use advanced cell structure for high circuit efficiency and soft switching.They have been designedfor soft, efficient switching in industrial applications and home appliances.
ROHM showcases expanded range of power devices at PCIM 2017
ROHM Semiconductor will debut its latest power product designs atPCIM, the leading trade fair for Power Electronics, Intelligent Motion and Energy Management in Nuremberg, from May 16 – 18, 2017 (Hall 9, Booth 316).Energy savings and reduced system costs in all kinds of systems are heavily influenced by choosing the right power device.
Sound processor performs volume adjustment & audio mixing
ROHM has recently announced the availability of a sound processor capable of high resolution audio playback that performs volume adjustment and audio mixing for car audio and navigation systems requiring high sound quality.In recent years the proliferation of quieter cabins and higher resolution sound sources resulting from the introduction of EVs and PHVs has increased demand for more accurate audio representation – even in the car audio s...
Qi-certified medium power transmitter reference design
Apple touts its new Airpods as wireless, effortless, and magical, a description that aptly fits another emerging technology: wireless charging. Wireless charging sends a flow of electrons to a device’s battery using either ultrasound, solar, or electromagnetic energy, in place of a tethered AC charger.
DC/DC converter controls DC fan motor speed
Believed to be the first DC/DC converter that is capable of DC fan motor speed control, the BD9227F reduces real estate demands (Visit PCIM Europe 2017 Stand 9-316).Designed to benefit integrated design, with a 75% reduction in mounting area compared with that of discrete configurations, the buck DC/DC converter is optimised for DC fan motor power supplies used in applications such as cold air circulation in refrigerators, says Rohm.
Revisiting power consumption in home appliances
The notion of smart home has been making headlines for many years, but it’s actually the energy efficiency part where homes are making the most tangible gains through what designers call inverterisation of appliance designs.
