Renesas Electronics has teamed up with electric motor maker Nidec to develop a 6-in-1 e-axle for electric vehicles. Update: the companies revealed an 8-in-1 in 2024 E-axles combine motor, inverter and gearbox into one unit and, according to Renesas, are beginning to collect other power electronics functions such as dc-dc converters and on-board chargers to form a convenient package for ...
Recom is aiming at railway use with a family of DIP24 isolated regulated dc-dc converters that will run from between 36 and 160Vdc. Surges up to 200V can be tolerated for 1s. “Dc-dc for rail applications typically operate from 72V, 96V, or 110VDC nominal input with dips and surges,” according to the company. There are 10W (RP10-RAW), 6W (RP06-RAW) and 3W ...
AMD is aiming at automotive edge sensor fusion, for the likes of lidar, radar and 3D surround cameras, with a pair of FPGAs it has just started shipping. XA AU10P and XA AU15P are automotive-qualified, certified for functional safety up to ASIL-B, intended to be used in driver assistance systems, and come with the the company’s Artix UltraScale+ branding. The ...
Analog Devices has created a pair of 6A buck-boost converters for automotive use. “MAX25239 and MAX25240 small-footprint 2V to 36V converters are the industry’s only 6A automotive buck-boost with integrated H-bridge switches,” according to distributor Farnell, which is stocking the parts. “They provide a fixed-output regulation voltage and an externally adjustable output voltage from 3V to 20V.” The ‘and’ in ...
The OPAx992-Q1 family of 40V rail-to-rail op-amps from Texas Instruments are AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive use. There are single (OPA992-Q1), dual (OPA2992-Q1) and quad (OPA4992-Q1) versions. Intended to be general purpose, the amplifiers’ differential and common-mode input ranges reach the supply rails. 115dB common-mode rejection is claimed, and the devices are rated to be used as comparators as well as ...
iWave Systems has collaborated with Texas Instruments to create a solderable system-on-module powered by automotive-grade AM62Ax Sitara processors – which are nominally vision processors. Meeting the 45 x 45mm 622pad LGA OSM v1.1 solderable standard, the module is called iW-RainboW-G55M. Courtesy of the TI IC, it has quad 1.4GHz Arm Cortex-A53 CPU cores, an 800MHz Cortex-R5F (MPU channel with FFI), ...
In a wide-ranging interview, Lee Harrison – Product Marketing Director for Tessent Safety and Security technology – talks about how security is playing a huge part in the development of self-driving cars and key areas of innovation. Particularly, where Siemens Digital Industries Software is focused to meet the needs of the automotive supply chain, both now and in the future. ...
Huntsman, owner of the Araldite brand, has developed polyurethane, epoxy and carbon nanotube materials for vehicle battery construction and protection. For underbody battery protection, Rimline (=polyurethane) wet compression moulding material are low-viscosity liquid resins for low-pressure moulding of composites with a high fibre volume fraction – formulated for high-pressure mix machines. Rimline FC (foam core) has flow properties designed for ...
Verge Motorcycles has chosen to build the motor of its electric vehicle around the rim of a wheel, and not to have a centre at all – instead guiding the wheel through rim bearings. Versions up to 150kW (200hp) are available. The motorbike has actually been around for a while, but the company has just revealed its latest model, designed ...
Infineon and Foxconn aim to establish a long-term partnership in EVs with an MoU focussing on SiC development. “The automotive industry is evolving. With the rapid growth of the EV market and the associated need for more range and performance, the development of electromobility must continue to advance and innovate,” said Peter Schiefer (pictured left) President of the Infineon Automotive ...
