Simplifying In-Car Connectivity for High-Definition Video Over USB Type-C® and DisplayPort™
As modern-day vehicles are full of technology, automotive manufacturers are under pressure to provide high-definition screens for streaming video, games, and video calls to meet consumer expectations.
New Two-Pad Crystal Uses Seam Sealing for Pb-Free, RoHS-Compliant Devices
The FE/FEQ & FT/FTQ families are RoHS-compliant two-pad crystals that use seam sealing, which makes them fully lead-free in contrast to equivalent crystals that use a glass-sealed design.
How Intelligent MOSFET Switches Are Replacing Automotive Fuses and Relays
The automotive industry's rapid transition to electric or hybrid vehicles, and increasing ADAS and ECU usage, result in more power and computational performance being required to drive new loads and process data in real time.
40V MOSFET Delivers Efficiency Gains for Electric Vehicles
Right now, the automotive industry is going through a big transformation as it rapidly shifts from internal combustion engines to battery-powered electric vehicles (EVs).
Precision Op Amps Handle Automotive Signal Conditioning Demands
It’s become commonplace to think of cars as computers on wheels—with many high-profile industry figures using such terminology. But that can be a misleading comparison, as analog signals are just as important as digital computing in the automotive industry.
Harnessing PCIe® 3.0 For In-Vehicle High-Speed Connections
As cars increasingly add new electronic capabilities and applications (such as advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), intelligent cockpits, telematics, and infotainment), the in-vehicle systems must keep up.
Small, Efficient PoL Converters for Automotive Applications
As today’s cars are putting more and more demands on their electrical power systems, they must achieve high efficiency to reduce heat dissipation and cut electricity consumption. At the same time, they need to be small enough to fit wherever needed, with suitable performance and flexibility.
Brushed Motors Are Not Going Away
Even when not taking into account the electrification of the drivetrain, the number of electric motors in the average car is increasing significantly.
Meeting Automotive Requirements for PoL Converters
Today’s cars are computers on wheels: full of complex electronics which all must be powered. Nowadays, modern cars include at least 150 electronic control units (ECUs).
