A series of 3-terminal feedthrough filters, designed to meet automotive demands forEMC components in emerging safety and infotainment applications, has been introduced by TDK Corporation. Available in case sizesEIA 0603 toEIA 1206, the filters haverated capacitance values ranging from 22pF to 1μF and rated voltages from 10V to 100V.

PMICs (Power Management Integrated Circuits) ease the power burden and streamlining power design in smart phones and ultra portable PCs. By Dave Blissett, Smart Energy/Home Automation specialist, Ismosys.

The new MT1000A Network Master Pro from Anritsu is an all-in-one optical network field tester that supports the multiple communications protocols used in today’s converged telecom networks. The tester is portable, compact and user-friendly and it is aimed at technicians who install and maintain mobile-access, fixed-access, metro and core transmission telecoms networks.

Using Warner Electric's ERS brakes, engineering students from the University of Wisconsin-Madison have built a transportation device to enable a paralysed Orthopaedic surgeon to operate.

dSPACE has extended its simulation model for traffic and environment simulations to support the development and testing of advanced driver assistance systems. dSPACE ASM Traffic 3.0, part of the Automotive Simulation Models (ASM) library, has all the features necessary for using simulation to test active safety systems - such as autonomous emergency braking and emergency steering assistance. Engineers using this technology can verify and demonstr...

dSPACE has introduced a new processor board for real-time systems, the DS1007 PPC Processor Board. The DS1007 handles demanding computing requirements for developing control systems for complex modern applications.Control engineers developing complex applications - electric drives, autonomous systems and vehicles, active noise suppression, etc. - require high computation power and very fast I/O access. These applications require a high-speed, clo...

XMOS and Synapticon have announced a partnership that will dramatically accelerate the uptake of next-generation motion control technologies in the fast growing areas of robotics, smart factories and autonomous vehicles. The two companies are working together to support emerging trends such as Industry 4.0 in the $170bn factory automation market as well as the fast growing service robotics market.

MSR Electronics has upgraded its MSR 165 data logger to extend its working range from 15g up to 200 g and enable a recording period that is up to ten times longer. MSR launched the mini logger five years ago. Features are 1600 shock measurements per second in all three axes, the capacity to store over 1 billion measured values and the option of equipping the unit with additional temperature, humidity, pressure or light sensors. All this is dilige...

Designed for the Chinese USB powered smartphone market, as well as tablets and emerging wearable devices, Dialog Semiconductor announce a highly efficient switching charger IC. The DA9150 features an integrated fuel gauge to measure the state of charge of the battery with 99% accuracy, allowing system firmware to maximise battery run time for consumers who increasingly depend on portable devices.

The automotive and transport industries, along with governing bodies are grappling with the challenges around standards, business models, security and managing liabilities. Real progress needs to be demonstrated in these areas if connected and autonomous vehicles are to become ubiquitous. This was one of the messages from experts in the automotive and telecommunications industries speaking at the Cambridge Wireless (CW) conference.
