Simple, robust solutions for automotive LED lamps
Diodes Incorporated has announced the AL8843Q and AL8862Q automotive-compliant DC/DC buck converters, designed for driving single LEDs and multiple LED strings in and around vehicles. Applications include daytime running lights (DRL), which many manufacturers now offer as standard, as well as fog lights, turn lights, and brake/stop lights.
What does 2020 have in store for technology?
If 2019 (and let’s be honest, the entire last decade), has taught us anything it’s that we live in an uncertain and unpredictable world. What is certain is that technology will play an integral part in just about every aspect of society in the future. Here, experts at Imagination Technologies gaze into their crystal ball and offer some insight into how technology will advance across different industries over the next 12 months.
Automotive lighting systems gearing towards vehicular safety
Early automotive lighting solutions and vehicular systems were much simpler than the ones available at present. Cars had fewer switches, directional lights switched on focused on the desired spot and should the bulbs fail, horns from passing vehicles would alert the drivers that they were about to be blindsided. However, earlier car lighting systems were significantly less reliable than the new automotive lighting solutions of the present, which ...
Laser diodes designed for LiDAR applications
PicoLAS have announced two new laser diode drivers designed specifically for LiDAR (Light Distancing and Ranging) applications. They feature an ultra-compact driver electronics board of just 19x20mm onto which a laser diode can be directly mounted to minimise inductance. This driver board is supplied coupled to a connector board to enable simple interface.
High-speed crossbar switch supports signal routing
Diodes Incorporated has announced, at USB Developer Days, the PI3DBS16222 crossbar switch for high-speed differential and serial signals. Optimised for the latest protocols, it provides a solution to routing high-speed signals up to 20Gbps around high-performance electronic equipment, from personal computers and mobile devices to network switch backplanes and high-end test tools.
Transient-voltage-suppression diodes deliver higher protection
The latest generation ofTransient-Voltage-Suppression (TVS) diodesfrom STMicroelectronics delivers power density, handling 600W and 1,500W transient power in SMB Flat, and 400W and 600W in SMA Flat packages that are just 1.0mm high.In addition to the lower profile, ST’s new 1,500W SMB Flat package has transient-power capability equivalent to that of conventional devices in SMC packages, in a footprint more than 50% smaller.
Two products honoured by Laser Focus World
LASER COMPONENTS has won an award for its ALBALUX and QuickSwitch products. US industry magazine Laser Focus World has honoured both with its Innovators Award. The accolade is awarded to products that stand out because of their originality, innovation, and impact on designers, systems integrators, or users, if the submission is likely to fulfil new market needs, leverages a novel technology, or increases productivity.
The voice at the heart of new audio system applications
According to Alexis Debray, PhD. Technology and Market Analyst, Optoelectronics from Yole Development, VPA is the main driver for the audio industry today.Dimitrios Damianos, PhD. Technology and Market Analyst Photonics, Sensing and Display at Yolealso said: “An interesting feature of this new application is that it spreads through various systems: smartphones, smart speakers, smart watches, wireless earbuds, cars, smart TVs and their remot...
Wireless connectivity test set supports IEEE 802.11ax
A new option has been added to Anritsu’s Wireless Connectivity Test Set MT8862A to support the latest IEEE 802.11ax. The Wireless Connectivity Test Set MT8862A (WLAN Tester) is for measuring the RF TRx characteristics of WLAN IEEE802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax devices.
Demonstration board uses eGaN FETS to develop ToF in automotive applications
Time of flight (ToF) relies on fast and accurate object detection. In automotive design, it is used in lidar systems for safety systems in advanced driver assisted systems (ADAS).
