HDI PCB technology has been a major enabler of advancement in the electronics industry, providing the dense interconnections and intricate circuitry needed to push the boundaries of miniaturization and functionality.
Matter, a smart-home tech standard maintained by the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA), was first approved in October 2022. Throughout 2023, new devices were introduced that supported the Matter standard, but few demonstrated the full value and versatility of the technology.
The chip industry’s big three—Intel, Samsung and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC)—are “getting serious” about a new 3D device architecture that promises to solve scaling problems that persist with today’s state-of-the-art nanosheet technology, experts told EE Times.
LPDDR memory (or mobile DRAM, as it was once known), was developed in the late 2000s primarily with smartphones in mind, which is why it was tailored for low power consumption and point-to-point connectivity.
Consider a day with abundant sunshine, resulting in ample renewable energy production, such as through photovoltaic panels. This energy can be utilized while an EV is parked and connected to the charging system, effectively charging the battery.
While traditional signal-level HIL tests effectively verify BMS functional strategies, they fail to validate battery pack performance effectively.
Cascode GaN power devices use a d-mode HEMT device and offer many advantages in higher-power–conversion applications.The cascode architecture with power gallium nitride devices uses a depletion-mode (d-mode) HEMT device and offers many advantages in higher-power–conversion applications.
To reduce parasitic inductances and fully utilize SiC devices, it is crucial to improve the design and architecture of the power system loops.
For factory automation and process automation, Ethernet-based industrial communication is no longer a far-fetched and elusive vision. But due to cost, complexity, and scalability challenges, serial interfaces remain the standard for wired communications, which is understandable given the cost-effectiveness and reliability of IO-Link and RS-485. Design and software engineers are also familiar with these standards.
5G and Wi-Fi are communication technologies developed for different application needs, seemingly for different markets and needs, but in fact, they are complementary to each other, if you can combine 5G and Wi-Fi technology, you will be able to play the respective advantages of 5G and Wi-Fi technology, and thus expand the application field and market.
The evolution of autonomous driving technology is leading to an ever-increasing amount of data being used by vehicles. This requires high-performance storage that can cope with the reading and writing of vast quantities of data. In a move that addresses these demands – and creates a better user experience – KIOXIA has developed automotive storage that complies with the new Universal Flash Storage (UFS) 4.0 standard.
As the flagship product of the STM32 series of high performance and low power consumption, the STM32U5 continues the application range of the STM32F2/F4/F7, while having lower energy consumption and higher cost performance. In industrial control systems, U5 can undertake core functions such as master controller, system monitoring and graphic display.
For today's hot artificial intelligence, computing power and algorithms are key, but the power system is equally important, and its innovation will also affect the development of the artificial intelligence industry.
The many smart devices available to consumers, whether they are security cameras, air conditioners, furnaces or cordless, roving vacuum cleaners, are more controllable than they are smart. We’re only just beginning to see the emergence of the smart home that will do intelligent things by itself.
STMicroelectronics has just announced an agreement to supply its 3rd generation silicon-carbide (SiC) planar MOSFETs for the e-compressor controllers from ZINSIGHT Technology, a Chinese high-tech company specializing in SiC power modules and advanced electric power conversion systems, used in “new energy vehicles” (NEVs), also dubbed EVs or BEVs outside China.
The latest zonal architecture promises to simplify vehicle electrical infrastructures, potentially saving weight and complexity while enhancing reliability, safety, and security. As this new approach is adopted, software-based virtual machines with hardware-based I/O Virtualization are needed to manage resources and ensure isolation.
In today's consumer electronics market, miniature speakers are already used in a wide variety of devices, including gaming devices, smart home iot devices, and wearables. While private electronics that are turned up loud in public are often annoying, you will certainly prefer those that have a wider loudness range while ensuring fidelity at the time of purchase
In motor applications, inverters or converters must be used for power conversion, and the use of high-isolation DC/DC converters will help improve the stability and safety of motor operation, which is particularly important for high-power and high-speed motor systems. In this article, we will introduce the technologies related to IGBT/MOSFET/SiC/GaN gate driven DC-DC converters, as well as the functional features of a series of high isolation DC/DC converters from Murata.
