TDK Corporation has developed MLD2012 series laminated inductors for automotive power circuits. This new series of components is based on a ferrite core and is housed in a compact IEC 2012 (EIA 0805) package that occupies an area of ​​2.0 mm x 1.25 mm with an insertion height of only 0.5 mm. This family of power inductors is AEC-Q200 certified, with an inductance of 0.47 μH to 47 μH and a rated current of 750 mA to 1200 mA. Thanks to its excellent electrical performance and a wide operating temperature range (-40 °C to +125 °C), this small component is suitable for automotive applications, in particular advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) where, for example, they can Helps achieve smaller cameras. MLD2012 inductors are also suitable for in-vehicle infotainment systems (IVI) and in-vehicle information systems as well as various automotive engine electronic control units (ECUs) and modules. The MLD2012 product will begin mass production in March 2018.

Microsemi Corporation (NASDAQ: MSCC) announces its Switchtec PCIe Fabric Switch (PAX), a leading supplier of semiconductor technology solutions that differentiates power consumption, security, reliability and performance New features of the product. PAX supports the formation of a high-performance PCIeSwitch network. Multi-hosts, graphics processing units (GPUs), and NVMe solid-state drives (SSDs) are interconnected and dynamically allocated through the PAX network. Metso showed the new product at the Open Computing Project (OCP) Summit in San Jose, California, last week.
