Renesas Electronics Corporation, a specialist in advanced semiconductor solutions, has launched a new integrated development environment that allows engineers to rapidly create software for automotive ECUs (Electronic Control Units) containing multiple hardware devices.

Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation has launched "TLP3476S", a photorelay in the S-VSON4T package that cuts turn-on time to half that of Toshiba’s current product, TLP3475S. Volume shipments have started.

Offering huge leaps in specs and packaging options, semiconductor manufacturers revealed a variety of new MOSFET devices at the PCIM Europe 2022 event in mid-May.

Three institutes in the ETH Domain are conducting research on so-called perovskite-based optoelectronics, such as solar cells, photodetectors, and light-emitting diodes (LEDs). In a project called AMYS, labs of EPFL, ETH Zurich and Empa have now joined forces for four years to explore new chemical compositions, but also simple and scalable low cost production methods.

Global demand for chips for the automotive and consumer goods industries remains high. That is why Bosch is continuing to expand its semiconductor business. The company has now opened a new test center for chips and sensors in Penang, Malaysia, at a cost of some 65 million euros; it plans to invest a further 285 million euros at the site by the middle of the next decade.

STMicroelectronics has unveiled a 1200 V gate driver which can sink and source up to 4A of output current, helping to simplify the design and enhance the reliability of mid- and high-power converters, inverters, and power supplies in electronics.

Ohm’s law is arguably one of the most important principles of power electronics and forms the basis of electronic circuit design. But what exactly is Ohm's law and what does the formula look like? Read this article to get Ohm's law explained.

The term “coding” is analogous to computer, IT, and software engineers and breadboard connections to electrical/electronics engineers. But it is a lesser-known fact that most electrical/electronics engineers are skilled in many programming languages and also work on softwares (EDA-Electronic Design Automation Softwares).

Toyota Motor Corporation has decided to invest up to 730 billion yen (approximately USD5.6 billion) in Japan and the United States toward supplying automotive batteries for battery electric vehicles (BEVs), for which demand is growing, and aims to begin battery production between 2024 and 2026. This investment is aimed at enabling Toyota to flexibly meet the needs of its various customers in all countries and regions by offering multiple powertrains and providing as many options as possible.

dSPACE has received certification from TÜV Süd for its SIMPHERA software solution according to ISO 26262, a standard for safety-related systems. SIMPHERA is a cloud-based simulation and validation solution, used to validate functions for autonomous driving.
