The Governor of the State of New York, Kathy Hochul, has withdrawn a proposal which would have allowed Waymo to apply to run robotaxis in New York State (though not in New York City). “Based on conversations with stakeholders, including in the legislature, it was clear that the support was not there to advance this proposal,” said the Governor’s spokesperson. ...
ABLIC has launched the S-19760/1 Series automotive shunt reference ICs, which claims to achieve the industry’s highest output voltage accuracy of ±0.1% and the industry’s lowest output voltage temperature coefficient of ±20ppm/℃. The S-19760/1 Series is primarily used as a reference voltage for A/D converters, which convert analog sensor signals into digital values. The key features of the S-19760/1 Series ...
Vishay is introducing four compact power inductors offering inductance values from 0.24µH to 4.70µH and typical DCR down to 6.6mΩ. As well as the commercial IHLL-0806AZ-1Z and IHLL-1210AB-1Z, there are the automotive grade IHLP-0806AB-5A and IHLP-1210ABEZ-5A. The AEC-Q200 qualified devices operate up to +165°C. Aiming at DC/DC converters, noise suppression, and filtering , they are available in the 0806 (2.0 ...
TDK is expanding its NTCSP series of NTC thermistor components with two new options. For temperature detection and temperature compensation, they are primarily aimed at automotive power modules. For example, applications such anti‑lock braking systems (ABS), transmissions, and engines. As mentioned, there are two further variations in the series: NTCSP163JF103FT1H and NTCSP164KF104FT1H. They differ on resistance and the B constant ...
OSP, the Open System Protocol developed by ams OSRAM for dynamic lighting and intelligent vehicle networks, is on its way to becoming an international standard. ISO’s Technical Committee TC 22 (Road Vehicles) has launched standardization work on OSP as a new work item within ISO/TC22/SC31/WG3. The official kick-off is planned for February 2026. The work is listed under ISO 26341 ...
Silanna Semiconductor is announcing its FirePower laser firing system ICs are now available in production quantities. They aim at LiDAR and rangefinder applications. Specifically, there is the SL2001 (above) and SL2002, and both have their own evaluation kits (SL2001 EVK, SL2002 EVK). The company highlights they combine resonant capacitor charging and high-current laser diode firing on a single device. This ...
HighTec EDV-Systeme, the automotive MCU compiler specialist, has released a new version of its HighTec Rust and C/C++ Arm Development Platform. Version v10.0 broadens its device support, integrates LLVM 19 (the Low Level Virtual Machine open source compiler), and supports memory-safe Rust for hybrid development with legacy C/C++. HighTec HighTec also highlights v10.0 comes with qualification kits to help speed ...
The adoption of EVs in Europe varies widely from country to country, reports TradingPedia. While Germany, the United Kingdom, and France led the market with 435,549 to 856,540 new EVs sold last year, their adoption relative to population tells a different story. Germany ranks 9th and the UK 8th per capita, while France falls to 16th with 653 EVs per ...
Diodes is releasing its automotive-compliant PI2MEQX2505Q, a 1.8V, 2.5Gps MIPI D-PHY ReDriver. Aimed at advanced driver-assistance systems, or camera monitoring systems, it is a signal integrity device. MIPI D-PHY ReDriver “The device regenerates D-PHY signalling in channels that involve PCB traces, connectors and cables, providing optimal electrical performance from a CSI-2/DSI source to sink by compensating for frequency loss,” writes ...
Honda and Mythic, the Texas analogue processor startup, are to develop an SoC for automated driving in SDVs. Honda is exploring neuromorphic technology, and Mythic makes neuromorphic neural processing units ((NPUs) which leverage analogue computing for AI processing with low power consumption. For the development of a neuromorphic SoC, Mythic has original analogue compute-in-memory (CiM) technology and a track record ...
