eGaN FETs boast lower on resistance
EPC, the world’s leader in enhancement-mode gallium nitride on silicon (eGaN) power FETs and ICs, advances the performance capability while lowering the cost of off-the-shelf gallium nitride transistors with the introduction of EPC2218 and EPC2204100 V eGaN FETs. The applications for these leading-edge devices include synchronous rectification, class-D audio, infotainment systems, DC-DC converters (hard-switched and […]
Supercapacitors operate at 3 and 6 V
A new series of higher-voltage and high-energy-density supercapacitors, called DSF Supercapacitors, offer a notable jump in voltage rating over typical supercapacitors to 3.0 WVdc for a single component and 6.0 WVdc for a dual-pack device. This higher voltage spec results in greater energy densities, which in turn saves space and may reduce the number of […]
Automotive Ethernet channel-test software checks for garble-free communications
Next-generation ADAS systems require camera and radar systems with high resolution, which require increased speed and bandwidth. Automotive Ethernet enables faster data communication to meet the demands of today’s vehicles and the connected vehicles of the future. However, the channel or link in a system can create a point of failure and as such must […]
Ultrasonic ToF sensor platform handles range-sensing tags to enable social distancing
MEMS Sensors TDK announces worldwide availability of Chirp CH101 ultrasonic ToF sensor platform • CH101 Time-of-Flight (ToF) range sensor is a system-in-package that integrates a PMUT (Piezoelectric Micromachined Ultrasonic Transducer) with an ultra-low-power SoC (system on chip) in a miniature 3.5 x 3.5 mm reflowable package. • Provides accurate range measurements at distances up to […]

Higher contrast, better resolution: Automotive display full-array local dimming
By Logan Cummins, Infotainment Systems Engineer, Texas Instruments A local dimming backlight technology individually adjusts LEDs in an LCD panel to save power and improve contrast ratios in automotive displays. Compared to globally dimmed displays and organic LEDs (OLEDs), local dimming with LEDs is a more practical design choice because it can withstand the extreme […]
Automotive noise suppression filters work in MF and HF bands
TDK Corporation announces that it has developed the MHF1608 series of HF band noise suppression filters for automobiles, and will begin mass production in September 2020. The noise suppression component will be inserted in signal lines for electronic control circuits in automotive applications including car audio, navigation, and battery monitoring systems. Signal transmission paths are […]
