Diodes Incorporated launches 300mA output LDO with power good indication and automotive specifications to support battery power outage load point

Image
  【Lansheng Technology News】On September 28, 2023,  Diodes  expanded its product portfolio of low-dropout voltage regulators that meet automotive specifications and launched two product series. The AP7583AQ and AP7583Q series both feature 300mA maximum output current and 320mV dropout voltage, making these LDOs ideal for battery-connected automotive product applications. This product supports microelectronic hardware used in body control modules, in-vehicle network transceivers, electric vehicle battery management systems, exterior lighting infrastructure and instrument clusters. Each AP7583AQ series device features a power good indicator output, which is an important differentiator for this product and enables continuous power supply monitoring, also provides fault reporting capabilities and aids in power switch sequencing. Diodes'  AP7583AQ and AP7583Q products are available in fixed output voltage versions (3.3V and 5V) and adjustable output versions, both supporting a wide inpu

Microchip launches industry's first low-pin-count MCU family to support I3C

  【Lansheng Technology News】As data collected and transmitted from cloud-connected edge nodes gradually increases, improved integrated circuits are quickly becoming a more sustainable solution for connecting high data rate sensors and will help expand the next Generation device capabilities.  Microchip Technology Inc.  pioneered the PIC18-Q20 family of microcontrollers, the industry's first low-pin-count MCUs with up to two I3C peripherals and multi-voltage I/O. Available in 14-pin and 20-pin packages with dimensions as small as 3 x 3 mm, PIC18-Q20 MCUs are compact solutions for real-time control, touch sensing and connectivity applications. The MCU provides configurable peripherals, advanced communication interfaces and easy connectivity across multiple voltage domains without the need for external components. The PIC18-Q20 MCU's I3C functionality, flexible peripherals and ability to operate on three independent voltage domains make it ideal for use with a host MCU in larger o

STMicroelectronics releases security software to ensure secure connection of IoT devices to Microsoft Azure IoT Hub

Image
  【Lansheng Technology News】On September 27, 2023,  STMicroelectronics  recently released a new security software to simplify cloud connections between high-performance STM32H5-based IoT devices and Microsoft Azure IoT Hub. STMicroelectronics’  STM32Cube software extension package X-CUBE-AZURE-H5 contains a set of software libraries and application routines designed for end equipment STM32H5 series high-performance microcontrollers. This application example illustrates the secure cloud connection method between IoT devices and Azure IoT Hub, including network configuration and data publishing. The application handles Azure® messages, methods, and device twin update commands. The solution also leverages ST’s embedded security software, Secure Manager, to securely connect the STM32H5 to the Microsoft Azure cloud. Daniel Colona, STM32 marketing director at  STMicroelectronics , said: “With its advanced processor architecture and enhanced security, STM32H5 can be used in the next generatio

Diodes launches boost/SEPIC controller to achieve 50kHz LED wide PWM dimming in automotive lighting product applications

Image
  【Lansheng Technology News】 Diodes  recently launched a boost/single-ended primary inductor converter controller suitable for various automotive LED product applications. The AL8853AQ is an automotive-qualified, highly integrated boost/SEPIC controller that reduces the bill of materials (BOM) of automotive LED product applications including exterior lights, headlights, head-up displays (HUD) and backlight displays and Provide high performance. Automotive headlight manufacturers can use the SEPIC topology to implement high-beam or low-beam LED array drivers powered directly from the vehicle battery, rather than the traditional two-stage topology using a boost-then-buck converter, or a full-bridge buck -Boost topology. The SEPIC function of  Diodes'  AL8853AQ supports a buck-boost topology, which is cost-effective and simple, making it ideal for head-up display system functions that are becoming increasingly common in automotive designs. The AL8853AQ's wide input range (6V to 40

Intel enters the AI-powered PC race with its first EUV-made chip

  【Lansheng Technology News】 Intel  unveiled its first personal computer chipset equipped with artificial intelligence on Tuesday, as the U.S. chipmaker seeks to revive the personal computer market and regain its leadership in the global semiconductor industry. Intel said this is the first time it has created dedicated neural processing units for its central compute and graphics processors to handle AI workloads on PCs and other end-user devices. Intel  is keen to differentiate itself from rival US chip developer Nvidia, the market leader in the type of chips used to power artificial intelligence applications such as the ChatGPT chatbot. Intel Executive Vice President Michelle Johnston Holthaus said that throughout 2024, we will launch tens of millions of artificial intelligence-enabled PCs to the market. "This is the inflection point that will drive energy-efficient AI at scale. Intel is the only company in the world that can deliver this at this scale." Industry executives

Nvidia will surpass Intel and Samsung to rank first in 2023

  【Lansheng Technology Information】Nvidia could become the largest semiconductor company in 2023. Semiconductor intelligence estimates that Nvidia’s total revenue in 2023 will be approximately $52.9 billion, surpassing  Intel , which previously ranked first. Nvidia's 2023 revenue will be nearly double its 2022 revenue, driven by the strength of its artificial intelligence processors. Intel has been the top semiconductor company for most of the past year—except for 2017, 2018, and 2021, when the top spot was Samsung. Despite the rapid growth of the semiconductor industry and the proliferation of startups, the top 10 companies in 2023 have all been in business for at least 30 years. Nvidia is the youngest, only 30 years old. No. 4 Broadcom is the result of Avago Technologies' acquisition of Broadcom Corporation in 2015, however, the original Broadcom was founded 32 years ago. Avago is a spin-off of Hewlett-Packard, which entered the semiconductor business 52 years ago. The 38-yea
