With the global electric vehicle (EV) market projected to reach a value of $725.14 billion by 2026, there is increasing need to understand the performance, or State of Health (SOH), of batteries. Defining, measuring, and accessing battery SOH is a key step toward enhancing visibility in the battery supply chain, enabling circular business models, improving road safety, and breaking down the barriers to widespread primary and secondary EV market adoption.

Gallium nitride (GaN) is a material that can be used in the production of semiconductor power devices, LEDs, and RF components. It is a ‘hot’ material that can be integrated with other materials to boost its performance.

Among all of the buzzwords to describe the increased electrification of our world, one term should stand out more: current sensing. Few of the innovations you hear about in solar power arrays, electric vehicle (EV) charging stations or robotics would be possible if current-sensing technology wasn’t reliable, accurate and easy to design with.

Arm heralds a new beginning for global computing infrastructure with the new Neoverse V2 (codenamed "Demeter"). It is the latest Arm core to deliver leading per-thread performance for cloud, hyperscale and HPC workloads. Industry leaders in cloud, 5G, HPC and edge are choosing Arm Neoverse as the compute foundation for their next-generation infrastructure solutions.

UC Berkeley developed the RISC-V instruction set as a CPU lingua franca for computer chips; an architecture used by all chipmakers and owned by nonei. Here, we look at RISC-V and some of the technology and applications it has facilitated.

Magnachip's eighth-generation 150V MXT MOSFET features lower RDS(on) and a TOLL package to enable motor controllers and battery management systems to be managed efficiently. More details on the features of the new product can be found in this article.

SweGaN AB, the University of Bristol, and the Ferdinand-Braun-Institut, have partnered up on a project that will seek to design and manufacture new GaN-based devices that will be launched into outer space.

Wolfspeed, Inc. has announced the company will be supplying Silicon Carbide devices to power future Mercedes-Benz Electric Vehicle (EV) platforms, enabling greater efficiency in the powertrain. Wolfspeed’s semiconductors will be incorporated into next generation powertrain systems for several Mercedes-Benz vehicle lines.

The acquisition of KEMET, a Florida-based manufacturer of capacitors, by Yageo offers several advantages. For example, it will allow the company to expand its product offerings and geographic presence.

On April 18, 2023, the Council and the European Parliament have reached a provisional political agreement on the regulation to strengthen Europe's semiconductor ecosystem, better known as the 'Chips Act'. The deal is expected to create the conditions for the development of an industrial base that can double the EU’s global market share in semiconductors from 10 % to at least 20 % by 2030.
