Higher contrast, better resolution: Automotive display full-array local dimming

September 18, 2020 By Jeff Shepard Leave a Comment

Automotive display full-array local dimming

By Logan Cummins, Infotainment Systems Engineer, Texas Instruments A local dimming backlight technology individually adjusts LEDs in an LCD panel to save power and improve contrast ratios in automotive displays. Compared to globally dimmed displays and organic LEDs (OLEDs), local dimming with LEDs is a more practical design choice because it can withstand the extreme […]

A better automotive display from pixel to picture with local dimming

September 17, 2020 By Aimee Kalnoskas Leave a Comment

By Logan Cummins, Infotainment Systems Engineer, Texas Instruments Automotive specifications and environmental conditions have caused the automotive display market to lag behind the consumer display industry in contrast ratio, black levels, resolution, curvature, and form factor. Automakers try to differentiate their infotainment human-machine interface (HMI) displays and catch up to the technological advances now common […]

Hall-effect current sensors first with zero drift

July 8, 2020 By Aimee Kalnoskas Leave a Comment

TMCS1100 and TMCS1101

Texas Instruments introduced the industry’s first zero-drift Hall-effect current sensors. The TMCS1100 and TMCS1101 enable the lowest drift and highest accuracy over time and temperature while providing reliable 3-kVrms isolation, which is especially important for AC or DC high-voltage systems such as industrial motor drives, solar inverters, energy-storage equipment and power supplies. Ongoing demand for higher […]

DC-dc converter ICs can be stacked to deliver 160 A

March 10, 2020 By Aimee Kalnoskas Leave a Comment

TPS546D24A dc-dc converter

Texas Instruments introduced a new 40-A SWIFTTM DC/DC buck converter, offering first-of-its-kind stackability of up to four integrated circuits (ICs). The TPS546D24A PMBus buck converter can deliver up to 160 A of output current at an 85°C ambient temperature – four times more current than competing power ICs. The TPS546D24A has the highest efficiency of any 40-A DC/DC converter, […]

Tiny 36-V, 4-A power module comes in a QFN package

February 19, 2020 By Aimee Kalnoskas Leave a Comment

TPSM53604 6-V 4-A power module

Texas Instruments introduced the industry’s smallest 36-V, 4-A power module in a quad flat no-lead (QFN) package. The TPSM53604 DC/DC buck module’s 5-mm-by-5.5-mm footprint enables engineers to shrink the size of their power supply by 30% while reducing power loss by 50% when compared to similar competing modules. The new power module comes with a […]

Tiny linear thermistors offer 50% higher accuracy, high sensitivity, single-point calibration

February 18, 2020 By Aimee Kalnoskas Leave a Comment

thermistors

Texas Instruments expanded its temperature sensing portfolio to include linear thermistors that deliver up to 50% higher accuracy than negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistors. The higher accuracy of TI’s thermistors enables operation closer to the thermal limits of the other components and the overall system, helping engineers maximize performance while reducing bill-of-materials (BOM) and total […]

Power IC with integrated transformer reduces power supply volumes by up to 80%

February 12, 2020 By Aimee Kalnoskas Leave a Comment

UCC12050 power IC

Texas Instruments introduced the first integrated circuit (IC) developed with a new proprietary integrated transformer technology: a 500-mW high-efficiency isolated DC/DC converter with the industry’s lowest electromagnetic interference (EMI), the UCC12050. Its 2.65-mm height enables designers to reduce their solution volume by as much as 80% compared to discrete solutions and 60% compared to power […]

CURRENT DIGITAL ISSUE

A frequency you can count on There are few constants in life, but what few there are might include death, taxes, and a U.S. grid frequency that doesn’t vary by more than ±0.5 Hz. However, the certainty of the grid frequency is coming into question, thanks to the rising percentage of renewable energy sources that…
