Automotive camera module revenue reached almost $6 billion in 2024 and is forecast to climb to $8.7 billion by 2030, reflecting a 6.6% CAGR, says Yole, volume growth is even steeper, with shipments set to rise to more than 400 million units over the same period with an 8.1% CAGR. Smart front ADAS cameras remain the highest-value segment, while satellite ...
Kyocera has brought out a line of integrated thin film (ITF) hybrid couplers for high-frequency wireless systems in industrial, automotive, telecommunications, and telemetry applications. Hybrid couplers are special four-port directional couplers that split input signals into two equal-amplitude 3dB outputs whose phases are shifted by 90°. Many also support performance monitoring and inject signals without interrupting the original signal. The ...
Astute Group has signed a distribution agreement with Silanna Semiconductor to distribute its Plural ADCs in Europe and India. According to Astute, Plural ADCs offer a more affordable and versatile option with shorter lead times compared to current market alternatives. They are factory-configurable, providing over 150 ADC variants with sample rates ranging from 20 to 250Msps. The ADCs are available ...
Nexperia has created ESD protection diodes for 48V vehicle communications networks. “Until now, automotive equipment manufacturers lacked suitable ESD protection solutions specifically designed for 48V data lines,” claimed Nexperia head of protection devices Alexander Benedix. “As a result, they often had to rely on workarounds – either including an additional 12 V power rail or connecting several lower-voltage protection diodes ...
Rohm has created a set of six current sense amplifiers with AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive use. They work with external shunt resistors, and there are two basic types: one (BD1423xFVJ-C) that can sense across the common-mode range of -14 to +80V and runs from 2.7 to 18V, and the other (BD1422xG-C) that can sense across -14 to +40V and runs ...
STMicroelectronics has made an eight-channel low-side driver for vehicles with extra functional safety hardware that “eases system-level ISO 26262 certification up to ASIL-B”, said the company. The nominal ratings of L9800, as it will be known, are: 12V power rail and 260mA per output. L9800 outputs can drive resistive, capacitive or inductive loads like relays, solenoids and LEDs,” said ST. ...
BLM15VM is an automotive ferrite beads inductor intended to block frequencies around 5.9GHz. Announced by Murata, it is particularly intended for 5G vehicle-to-everything (5G-V2X) applications. “In recent years, the use of high-frequency wireless communication in the automotive sector has increased.,” according to the company. “It is primarily used for content distribution for navigation, audio and other infotainment systems. Improving sensitivity ...
GigaDevice has revealed a family of 48MHz Arm Cortex-M23 microcontrollers. Aimed at industrial use GD32C231, its “Cortex-M23 core architecture offers up to 10% higher performance than Cortex-M0+”, according to the company. 32 to 64kbyte of flash and 12kbyte or ram are available, all with error correction. “An integrated hardware CRC module enhances data transmission integrity,” according to the company, which ...
Infineon has introduced automotive microcontrollers with capacitive touch sensing for sensor and actuator applications. The PSOC 4 HVMS family is built around a 24 or 48MHz Arm Cortex-M0+ processor, with up to 128kbyte of flash and 8kbyte of ram. The ICs also have what Infineon calls ‘high-voltage’ capability for almost-direct connection to 12 and 24V vehicle batteries as they include an ...
Did you ever dream of surface-mounting wire-wound power resistors? If you do, Vishay has turned that into reality with a series of pick-and-place-friendly cemented wire-wounds. They are actually the company’s existing 3W AC03-CS series of fuseable resistors, with the legs bent into what the company is calling its WSZ lead-form (see photo), available from 1Ω to 100Ω ±5%, with ±200ppm/°C ...
