Littelfuse, Inc. has launched its Energy Storage Rack (ESR) series of fuses designed specifically to protect battery racks from a range of fault currents to help prevent equipment damage and expensive system failures. The 1500 V direct current (DC) high-speed square body fuse is extremely fast-acting to respond quickly, safeguarding the battery module or other devices.

StoreDot, a specialist in extreme fast charging (XFC) battery technology will soon be manufacturing silicon batteries that enable car makers to design and produce cheaper, lighter and more sustainable EVs. The company remains on target for mass production readiness of ‘100in5’ silicon battery cells next year delivering at least 100 miles of range for each 5 minutes of charging.

EA Elektro-Automatik, a manufacturer of DC programmable power supplies, bidirectional power supplies and regenerative loads, has published the results of a “State of Power” survey on how electronic engineers envision changes in the types of measurements they’ll require in the coming years.

This article discusses the trends and factors affecting the battery energy storage system market. It should provide a useful background for visitors to the PCIM Europe 2022: Batteries & More – Energy Storage Pavilion.

Vitesco Technologies, an international manufacturer of modern drive technologies and electrification solutions, and Infineon Technologies AG, vendor of automotive semiconductors, are strengthening their long-time partnership.

BorgWarner has secured a contract with a global automotive thermal and energy management solutions supplier to deliver high voltage coolant heaters (HVCH) for use on a series of three electric vehicle platforms for a major OEM.

A power supply’s source, in actual use, is never ideal. The real behavior, including parasitics, needs to be considered to build a reliable power system. When we use power supplies, we ensure that a DC-to-DC converter, such as a switching regulator, can withstand a certain input voltage range and that it can generate the required output voltage from it with sufficient current.

TSMC, Robert Bosch GmbH, Infineon Technologies AG, and NXP Semiconductors N.V. today announced a plan to jointly invest in European Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (ESMC) GmbH, in Dresden, Germany to provide advanced semiconductor manufacturing services. ESMC marks a significant step towards construction of a 300 mm fab to support the future capacity needs of the fast-growing automotive and industrial sectors, with the final investment decision pending confirmation of the level of public funding for this project. The project is planned under the framework of the European Chips Act.

This article will explain continuous-time sigma-delta (CTSD) ADC technology in a less traditional approach, enabling signal chain designers to envision a new class of easy to use precision ADC technology as a simple system that interconnects a few well-known components.
