The buck-boost converter is a type of DC-to-DC converter with an output voltage magnitude that is either greater or less than the input voltage magnitude, and it offers several benefits to design engineers.

Innovative electronics require state-of-the-art technologies and manufacturing processes. For many medium-sized companies, this is an investment that is almost impossible to bear. But thanks to the latest research and technologies on 200- and 300-mm wafers, it is also accessible to smaller companie. The offer ranges from consulting to process development and pilot series production.

LG Energy Solution and Toyota Motor North America, Inc. announced that they have signed a supply agreement for lithium-ion battery modules to be used in Toyota battery electric vehicles (BEVs) that will be assembled in the United States. The agreement is seen as an opportunity for LG to strengthen their production capacity in North America.

RPM and angle sensors are used to measure the motion, speed, or angular position of a rotating object – usually a shaft, axle or disc. Such sensors are used in a wide range of machines – from small printers to big manufacturing machines, cars, aircrafts and many more. And also, the intended purpose always varies.

Renesas Electronics Corporation has announced the SmartBond DA1470x Family of Bluetooth low energy (LE) solutions―the world’s most advanced, integrated System-on-Chip (SoC) family for wireless connectivity.

Power Integrations, a specialist in high-voltage integrated circuits (ICs) for energy-efficient power conversion, has announced the LinkSwitch™-XT2SR family of off-line, constant-voltage (CV), non-isolated flyback switcher ICs. Read more about the features in this article.

As part of their strategic partnership announced earlier this year, ZF and Wolfspeed Inc. have announced their plans to establish a joint European R&D center for Silicon Carbide power electronics in the Nuremberg Metropolitan Region in Germany.

Counterfeit products are a threat to every industry, and electronics manufacturing is no exception. However, training courses are available to help companies - and that should include the use of technology.

The importance of lithium-ion batteries cannot be understated, and their growing role in the constantly evolving electronics market means that researchers are constantly looking for ways to make them perform better, last longer, and work more efficiently.

Some of the world’s biggest automakers are facing a critical shortage of the semiconductors they need to build their cars. The shortage could put a complete stop to production in certain parts of the world at a time when the industry is trying to recover from the pandemic.
