50 V and 120 V MOSFETs in TOLx packages for 24 V to 72 V- supplied high-power ECUs
The electrification of the transportation system is advancing continuously. In addition to passenger cars, 2- and 3-wheelers as well as light vehicles are increasingly being electrified. Therefore, the automotive market for Electronic Control Units (ECUs) powered by 24 V-72 V is expected to keep growing in the coming years. To address this development, Infineon Technologies […]
TVS components provide circuit protection for EVs and HEVs
Inelco Hunter has announced the availability of two new ProTek Devices TVS Components. They are designed for circuit protection across a variety of electric and hybrid vehicle systems including charging systems and automotive electronic control units (ECUs). The 7,000 Watt PAM7KSMDJ24CAP is suited for circuit protection across the belt starter (BSG) generator circuit, the integrated […]
What is a low power design?
Low power design is a system using a collection of techniques and methodologies for the purpose of optimizing battery life and reducing the overall power dissipation of the system. To optimize the power, there are many low-power techniques that depend on the level of the design selected, ranging from semiconductor technology to higher levels of […]

Zero-ohm jumpers handle up to 158 A
Zero-ohm jumpers are commonly used in a wide range of markets and end products. They make circuitry routing easier and simplify manufacturing. Jumper requirements for higher current levels frequently exceed the capability of general-purpose jumpers. The maximum current rating for thick film general-purpose jumpers is only 3 amps and high current thick film jumpers typically […]
