Infineon wins Rivian traction inverter power module deal
US car maker Rivian has signed up Infineon to supply traction inverter power modules, microcontrollers and power ICs for its ‘R2’ vehicle platform, expecting to start in 2026. The power modules will be in Infineon’s HybridPack Drive G2 format (pictured) and include both silicon and silicon carbide components. Along with these, Rivian has picked infineon’s established TC3x MCUs, not not ...
Sponsored Content: Automotive Waterproof Connectors Engineered for Harsh Environments
In industries such as automotive, industrial automation, and heavy machinery, reliable electrical connections are crucial – especially in environments exposed to moisture, dust, and constant vibration. Harsh conditions can degrade traditional connectors, leading to system failures and costly downtime. This is particularly critical in applications like off-road vehicles, LED lighting, renewable energy installations, robotics, and construction equipment, where durability and ...
QS RF Locator sees drone payload geolocate RF signals
QS RF Locator is Quadsat’s new product to geolocate RF signals to a precise location. The drone-based technology will detect and locate the source of interference, for example, for both commercial and military applications. The Danish company – which uses drones to test and measure satellite antennas in-situ – is using its existing systems for the RF inspection. It says ...
Kioxia sampling SSDs using CBA
Kioxia is sampling its first enterprise SSDs built with its 8th generation BiCS FLASH TLC which incorporates CMOS directly Bonded to Array (CBA) technology. CBA is claimed to deliver advances in power efficiency, performance and density, and sustainability, while doubling available capacity per flash device. The CM9 Series SSDs deliver performance improvements of up to approximately 65% in random write, ...
Auto hi-voltage detector claims fastest response time
ABLIC claims that its S-19116 Series automotive high-voltage detector has the industry’s fastest detection response time of max. 6.8μs while achieving ultra-low current consumption of 2.0μA typ The detector is also claimed to significantly reduce system standby current. It comes in an HSNT-6 (1.96×2.46×t0.5mm) package. Overvoltage protection is essential when supplying voltage from a battery through a regulator to MCUs ...
Questa One software uses AI to verify complex chip design
To address the fall in first-time silicon success rates, Siemens Digital Industries Software has announced the Questa One software suite. Consisting of four tools, the suite targets productivity in IC design using AI-powered automation to accelerate verification. According to Abhi Kolpekwar, vice president and general manager, Digital Verification Technologies, Siemens EDA, the increased complexity of asic and FPGA design means ...

4.3inch IPS display replaces Innolux
Inelco Hunter is stocking a touch screen 4.3-inch IPS display which, as well as suiting new industrial designs, is a drop-in alternative to recently discontinued Innolux models, it said. Made by Powertip in Taiwan, JXT480272T016-ZBB03 has a resolution of 480(RGB) x 272 pixels and a backlight for viewing at up to 450cd/m2. The touch screen is resistive, and the image ...
32.768kHz crystal saves power with its low ESR
Rutronik has added a lower power Epson 32.768kHz crystal to its line up. Power saving from the FC1610BN comes from its low ESR (effective series resistance) which is typically 45kΩ at +25°C, a maximum of 60kΩ over -40 to +85°C and a maximum of 70kΩ up to +105°C. Its surface-mount package measures 1.6 x 1mm and is ceramic with a ...
