A broad-based economic rebound in 2021, fuelled by pent-up demand and a steady recovery in global commerce after the 2020 outbreak of the COVID-19 virus pandemic, is forecast to lift total sales in optoelectronics, sensors and actuators, and discrete semiconductors (O-S-D) by 13% to $99.4bn this year, according to IC Insights’ new 2021 O-S-D Report - A Market Analysis and Forecast for Optoelectronics, Sensors/Actuators, and Discretes.

Renesas Electronics hasintroduced an update of its R-Car V3H System-on-Chip (SoC) to deliver significantly improved deep learning performance for smart camera applications, including driver and occupant monitoring systems (DMS / OMS), automotive front cameras, surround view, and auto parking for high volume vehicles up to Level 2+.

GaN Systems hasannounced the shipment of its 20 Millionth GaN transistor and thatits factory partners are on schedule to complete a 40X capacity expansion in 2021.

X-FAB Silicon Foundries and IHP have announced an industry-academic partnership. The objective of the cooperation between these two bodies, which brings together X-FAB’s proficiency in semiconductor manufacture with IHP’s wireless communication expertise, is to exchange knowledge and establish mutually beneficial engineering synergies.

The end of Moore’s law has been signaled for some time, but without a doubling of the number of transistors, battery-powered mobile devices rely on it to increase computing complexity. Gordon Allan offers a survival guide to life outside Moore’s law

When Rambus was founded 30 years ago, RAM cost $98 per megabyte, and the latest Intel processor, the 80486, had 1.2 million transistors and was fabricated on a 1µm process. In comparison, in September 2020, RAM cost $0.0028 per megabyte, and the latest Nvidia A100 AI processor has 54 billion transistors and is fabricated on a 7nm process. Gary Bronner, Senior Vice President of Rambus Labs, explains more.

GaNSystems has announced a new reference design for the highest power density, high efficiency65W Active Clamp Flyback (ACF) GaN chargerin collaboration with Silanna Semiconductor. The reference design is now available at Silanna Semiconductor and provides an easy design for ACF USB-C PD GaN chargers, reducing design cyclesand product time to market for customers.

EPC has announced AEC Q101 qualification of the 65VEPC2219designed for lidar systems in the automotive industry and other harsh environments.

Smartphones, tablets, televisions: touch displays are ubiquitous and are increasingly being used in modern vehicles - whether for buttonless operation of the air conditioning or infotainment system. In contrast to consumer electronics, these functions have to face special challenges in vehicles: Strong vibrations, changing temperatures and electromagnetic fields are the rule in road traffic. By Dipl.-Ing. Sebastian Masi, Senior Engineer Display...

Nexperia has announced an 80V RET (Resistor-Equipped Transistor) family. These new RETs or ‘digital transistors’ provide enough headroom for use in 48V automotive board net (e.g. mild hybrid and EV cars) and other higher voltage circuits which are often subject to large spikes and pulses that previous 50V parts cannot handle.
