Two highly integrated 1.0 megapixel CMOS image-sensing products from ON Semiconductor provide a complete solution with the image sensor and processing functionality integrated within a low power SoC (system on chip) that simplifies and speeds adoption in applications such as rear and surround view cameras.
The 1000-V silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFET from Wolfspeed enables a reduction in overall system cost, while improving system efficiency and decreasing system size.
Sunex NoGhost 120dB lenses are the first and only lenses designed, optimized, and tested for use in cameras using high dynamic range image sensors, claims the company.
Targeting high-efficiency designs and applications, Infineon Technologies’ OptiMOS 5 150V portfolio product family further expands the OptiMOS 5 generation of power MOSFETs.
Volkswagen spreads its Audi A3 e-tron PHEV powertrain to the new Golf GTE. Powertrain control from ICE to electric drive is silky indeed, and EV range is worthy of a good city car. But system cost is significant in a VW-badged vehicle.
The mixed-materials construction and the new C1XX platform enabled the development team to reduce base curb weight by 278 lb versus its predecessor and undercut its closest competitor, the mass-efficient (and shorter) Audi Q5, by a claimed 100 lb.
Start of production for the plug-in hybrid Chrysler Pacifica minivan begins in late 2016, marking a milestone as Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA)'s first mass-produced PHEV.
New compact utility leverages Fuji Heavy Industries' latest global platform for improved ride, handling, NVH attenuation and crashworthiness. But power and torque are lacking.
