Relays designed for higher reliability in isolated high-voltage environments
Building on more than two decades of experience developing new isolation manufacturing technologies and integrated circuits (ICs) for high-voltage systems, Texas Instruments introduced new portfolio of solid-state relays, including automotive-qualified isolated drivers and switches, that deliver industry-leading reliability to help make electric vehicles (EVs) safer. The new isolated solid-state relays also provide the smallest solution […]
Advanced global-shutter image sensor for affordable, reliable driver-monitoring safety systems
STMicroelectronics is enhancing vehicle safety with its latest global-shutter image sensors for driver monitoring systems (DMSs). DMSs continually watch the driver’s head movements to recognize signs of drowsiness and distraction, enabling systems in the vehicle to generate warnings that can preserve the safety of occupants. Traffic agencies estimate that about 95% of road traffic accidents […]
Super junction 600-V MOSFETs boast fast reverse recovery time
ROHM Semiconductor announced that they have added seven new devices, the R60xxVNx series, to the PrestoMOS lineup of 600V Super Junction MOSFETs which stand out for their class-leading low ON resistance and the industry’s fastest reverse recovery time (trr). The R60xxVNx series is optimized for power circuits in industrial equipment requiring high power, such as servers, […]
Discrete diodes feature super-small package size/footprint
ROHM Semiconductor announced the addition of 14 new models to their PMDE package (2.5mm × 1.3mm) lineup – meeting the requirements for smaller protection and switching circuits (RBxx8 Series, RFN Series, VS Series). Diodes are used for rectification, protection, and switching circuits in a wide range of applications such as automotive, industrial, and consumer fields. Additionally, there […]
Radio altimeter flight-line test set adds fiber optic delay
The ALT-9000 universal radio altimeter (RADALT) flight line test set adds fiber optic delay to traditional radio frequency (RF) testing, enabling it to test all types of RADALTS on the market today. The RADALT measures an aircraft’s altitude above the terrain, by transmitting a radio frequency (RF) signal down to the ground and receiving a […]
Virtualization platform targets automotive ECU apps
Renesas Electronics Corporation announced an integrated automotive ECU Virtualization Platform that enables designers to integrate multiple applications into a single ECU (Electronic Control Unit) that are safely and securely separated from each other to avoid interference. The solution enables customers to adopt new electrical-electronic (E/E) architectures using MCU-based zone ECUs supporting multiple logical ECUs on […]
Dual-band helical antennas for GPS/GNSS incorporate out-band filtering
Tallysman Wireless announces that it has added the housed HC885XF and embedded HC885EXF dual-band (GPS/QZSS L1/L5, GLONASS G1/G3, Galileo E1/ E5a/b, BeiDou B1/B2/B2a + L-Band corrections services) eXtended Filtering (XF) antennas to its industry-leading line of helical antennas. Historically, dual-frequency antennas and receivers commonly supported GPS L1 and L2 and GLONASS G1 and G2. In […]
Common-source dual GaN FET features 58 mΩ RDS(on), 20-A pulsed output current
EPC announces the introduction of the EPC2221, a common source dual gallium nitride FET rated at 100 V, 58 mΩ, and 20 A pulsed current. The EPC2221 can be used in lidar systems for robots, surveillance systems, drones, autonomous cars, and vacuum cleaners. The low inductance and capacitance of the EPC2221 allow fast switching (100 […]
