DC-Link design tips: how to choose capacitors for EVs
DC-Link capacitors are an important step in power conversion for a number of uses, including three-phase Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) inverters, wind power and photovoltaic inverters, motor drives for industry, onboard chargers and inverters for cars (Figure 1), medical equipment power supplies, etc. Some of the most challenging applications entail rigorous environmental constraints as well as requirements related to costs and reliability.

Class-D amplifier for high-definition automotive audio
The HFDA801A from STMicroelectronics is a high-resolution audio amplifier that is specifically designed for compact, cost-effective automotive applications. TheHFDA801Ais a 2MHz switching pulse-width modulation (PWM) Class-D amplifier with a quad-bridge configuration. An integrated high-performance digital-to-analog converter (DAC) ensures hi-fi quality sound under any load condition, with noiseless turn-on/turn-off and without creating any outpu...
'Perfect storm' creates electronic component supply chain shortages
We’re in the midst of what could be called a ‘perfect storm’ that is creating significant supply chain shortages for electronic components. Margaret Cunha, Digi-Key Electronics’ Director of Regional Supply Chain Solutions, explains.
Using a tilt sensor to design a spirit level for the visually impaired
Analog Devices (ADI) has designed a spirit level for the visually impaired. It uses an ADXL312 accelerometer to measure gravitational force in the horizontal and vertical planes and sounds a buzzer when the accelerometer is exactly horizontal or vertical. It can also be used as a tilt sensor to level trailers in automotive applications for example. It can also be used as a subcircuit in automotive stability systems or drones. Simon Bramble, Staff...
EZBuck regulator supports Intel Rocket Lake for desktop computing
The latest member of the EZBuck regulator family from Alpha and Omega Semiconductor (AOS) supports Intel’s Rocket Lake platform. The AOZ2263VQI-01 and AOZ2263VQI-02 regulators have adjustable output voltage and are offered in a QFN 4.0 x 4.0mm package.
