Although the ever-increasing number of 5G roll-outs and climbing consumer electronic devices sales will predominantly create a favourable environment for the RF power semiconductor demand growth, automotive industry also remains among the key consumer areas of RF power modules.
Currently, the automotive industry is undergoing a dynamic electric and…
With automotive camera modules becoming increasingly smaller, designers can now utilize the ultra-compact MAX20049 power management IC from Maxim Integrated, which integrates four power supplies into a tiny footprint. In addition to being the most compact power management IC for vehicle camera modules, it delivers the highest efficiency on the market today. The MAX20049…
The power electronics industry has been on an upward spiral and shows no signs of abating, as the trend of electrification penetrates a wider range of industrial domains and entails the requirement of high-tech power electronic devices. In recent years, there has been a marked rise in the need for advanced electricity storage solutions, triggered by the essentiality of…
Vishay Intertechnology released a new series of automotive grade AC line rated ceramic disc capacitors with its firs AEC-Q200 qualification for ClassX1(760 VAC)/Y1(500 VAC) applications in conformity with IEC 60384-14.4. It also added two new components offering capacitance of 6.8 nF and 10 nF, respectively to its existing AY2 Series .The Disc of AY1 Series offers a…
STMicroelectronics will demonstrate its world-class products and solutions aimed at making industrial, automotive, and Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications smarter and more efficient at Electronica 2019 in Shanghai, China.
Making Industrial Applications Smarter Smart industry initiatives are driving machines,…
Automotive manufacturers all over the world are focused on vehicle electrification. There is a need for cars to charge more quickly and have a more extended range on a single charge. This implies, electrical and electronics circuit within the vehicle should be able to handle extremely high power and manage losses effectively. There is a need for robust thermal-management…
According to a Survey taken by Women’s Engineering Society in 2017, only 11% of the worlds engineering workforce are Women. Surprising enough, another statistics from Joint Council for Qualifications, shows that girls normally out-perform boys in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) subjects. Then why don’t we just see more women Engineers in the field yet?

The electric vehicle market is picking up quite rapidly across the globe. Estimates show that the number of electric vehicles on the road around the world will hit 125 million by 2030.Global market for Electric Vehicles (EV) and Hybrid. To control energy flow and optimize efficiency in HEV/EV powertrain subsystems such as Traction Inverters, On-Board Chargers (OBC…
A nominal lithium cell is rated for around 4.2V only, but in its applications like EV, portable electronics, laptops, power banks etc we require a lot higher voltage than its nominal voltage. This is the reason why designers combine more than one cell in series to form a battery pack of higher voltage values. As we know from our previous Electric Vehicle battery article,…
According to the BNEF forecasts, the growth of EVs in India is slow because of the shortage of charging infrastructure and lack of affordable models. The growing market of EV, demands quality charging stations across the city to support daily commute of EV users and EVI Technologies is doing exactly that.
The company…
Maxim Integrated announced power-management ICs offering the industry’s smallest solution size and highest efficiency to help automotive designers meet space and power challenges of next-generation automotive applications. As digital instrument clusters, radio head units and electronic subsystems require ever higher levels of compute power, these new high-power buck…
