Designed for integration within electric vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles, and other transportation systems, this new IC is…
With Electric Vehicles becoming increasingly common and affordable, companies across the world have begun turning their attention towards setting up EV charging infrastructure and developing newer, faster, and efficient methods to charges these EVs. Lately, Volkswagen has given us a first glimpse of the prototypes of its ‘mobile charging robot’ that can be used for fully…
Delivering 60 TOPS with low power consumption for deep learning processing and up to 96K DMIPS, the R-Car V3U from Renesas Electronics is a new open, scalable ASIL D System on Chip (SoC) built to meet performance, safety, and scalability (up and down) demands of ADAS and automated driving (AD) systems. This new device achieves ASIL D metrics for the majority of the SoC…
Tesla, a leading Electric Vehicle manufacturer recently announced its Q2 2020 financial results by delivering a profit despite the current global pandemic situation, making it one of the most valuable company ahead of Toyota, Volkswagen, General Motors, etc. Citing this, CEO of Volkswagen, Herbert Diess quoted on LinkedIn that “In 5 to 10 years, the most valuable company in…
Transportation accounts for around 30% of our carbon dioxide emissions in the atmosphere globally. The number of fossil fuel cars is set to double by 2040. Various automobile companies have been working on electric vehicles but these vehicles have some dependency on fossil fuels. What then could be the smart solution to cut down the percentage of carbon dioxide emissions…
What if we could bring not only energy but affordable energy, to the parts of the world that needed it most? It’s a question that’s often been asked about the developing world, where power grids are still in their adolescence. As a result, blackouts, brownouts, and dangerous energy shortages are natural byproducts of an inability to store power and regulate its use during…
Microchip Technology aims to provide automotive solutions to help designers and developers in easy transition to SiC while minimizing the risk of quality, supply, and support challenges. With this aim in mind, the company is here with yet another smart device that caters to the needs of the automotive industry.
The company has released the AEC-Q101-…
Global warming is increasing day by day and is expected to have a far-reaching, long-lasting, devastating effect on planet Earth. To combat the situation, various companies are doing their bit. Aerostrovilos Energy, the IIT-Madras incubated automotive start-up joined the bandwagon in 2017 with the idea to develop gas turbines that are primarily used for aerospace propulsion…
Power Integrations has introduced the InnoSwitch3-AQ, an AEC-Q100- qualified switcher with integrated 750V MOSFET and secondary-side sensing, designed especially for automotive EV applications, such as traction inverter, OBC (on-board charger), EMS (energy management DC/DC bus converters), and BMS (battery management systems).
The high-speed…
Infineon Technologies AG has expanded its product offering for Battery Management System (BMS) with the TLE9012AQU a new sensing and balancing IC that is designed for batteries in hybrid and electric cars and other applications. It can measure the voltage in up to twelve battery cells with an accuracy of ± 5.8 mV over the entire temperature and voltage range as well as the…
What if the rear-view mirror in an electric three-wheeler was actually a screen showing live video from cameras around the vehicle? That was one of the interesting features we spotted at ROHM Semiconductor's booth at electronica India 2026. The smart EV demo included a motor controller rated at approximately 5-8 kW, a battery management system (BMS), and a dedicated board for controlling…
Reducing the dependency on oil and opting for efficient energy transformation to significantly reduce carbon dioxide footprints and lowering the local emissions from transport is the need of the hour. It is for this reason that electric mobility has been the subject of discussions over the past few years. Simply put, electric mobility is a prominent topic in environmental,…
