ABB, a Swedish-Swiss electronics leader, and Taiga Motor, a manufacturer of 100 percent PWCs and snowmobiles, have partnered to enable the charging of the world’s first electric snowmobiles and pave the way for a more sustainable future.

CATL launched Qilin, the third generation of its CTP (cell-to-pack) technology. With a record-breaking volume utilization efficiency of 72 % and an energy density of up to 255 Wh/kg, it achieves the highest integration level worldwide so far, capable of delivering a range of over 1,000 km in a breeze.

Power Integrations a supplier in high-voltage integrated circuits for energy-efficient power conversion, launched a new function in PI Expert, the powerful online design tool that automatically generates optimized power supply designs based on users’ specifications.

With automated driving from SAE level 3, the driver and passengers must be permanently monitored to ensure that the driver can take the steering wheel at any time and that the passengers remain in their seats. Especially for monitoring of the interior space, radar solutions operating at 60 GHz are the first choice.

Murata has introduced the BLE32SN series of chip ferrite beads. These are the world’s first chip-type noise suppression components to have 20A current rating. They will be used to provide noise suppression in circuits with large current flows, such as the battery charging systems and powertrains of electric vehicles (EVs), as well as in industrial equipment.

Energy storage is one of the critical factors towards a cleaner and greener future. While non-renewable energy powers most of the world, energy storage is a growing form of sustainable energy. The article starts to explain the importance of energy storage systems in brief and goes on to state the current scenario with accurate statistics for 2023. It also explains future trends like the introduction of new battery technologies, hybrid storage systems, and decentralized microgrids.

UART, or universal asynchronous receiver-transmitter, is one of the most used device-to-device communication protocols. This article shows how to use UART as a hardware communication protocol by following the standard procedure.

A new EU-funded project has brought together a high-profile consortium from science and industry to investigate how changes to the magnetic properties of semiconductors could achieve a hundredfold reduction in the power consumption of computer chips. Researchers at Fraunhofer IZM are on the team to investigate how the semiconductors’ tiny contacts could be connected.

Did you know that the world's very first power electronics devices were made from mercury - an excellent conductor of electricity? Conductive materials have high conductivity which allows them to serve a variety of household and industrial applications in power electronics.

Cambridge GaN Devices (CGD), the fabless, clean-tech semiconductor company that develops a range of energy-efficient GaN-based power devices to make greener electronics possible, has announced the signing of a distribution deal with global specialist, DigiKey. Under the terms of the global agreement, DigiKey will hold substantial stocks of CGD’s easy-to-use, rugged and highly-efficient ICeGaN™ HEMTs and related products.
