Extending Diodes’ Holistic Solution to Ultra-High-Power-Density Low Standby Power Adapter Design – 140W PD3.1 EPR AVS: USB Power Delivery (PD) has been upgraded from the previous PD3.0 programmable power system (PPS, 3.3V to 21V output, 20mV/step, 50mA/step) to a new PD3.1 extended power range (EPR) adjustable voltage supply (AVS) with a 100mV/step adjustment. By extending EPR voltage cover to 28V/36V/48V, PD3.1 can serve higher-power applications up to 240W, given that the maximum current for a USB Type-C® cable is 5A. March 2023
Hall Effect Position Sensors and Their Use in Automotive Applications: The demand for compact, accurate position sensors in automotive applications is projected to grow substantially to $1.6bn by 2026. This growth is largely being driven by electrification, not only of the traction system but also of auxiliary functions such as power steering and the clutch. As the number of applications for motors in automobiles continues to grow, it is necessary to have some way to accurately track the position and speed of the rotors they contain. February 2023
