Lithium-Air Battery Design Poised to Increase Energy Storage, EV Range

6 days ago | electronicdesign.com | Murray Slovick

This solid-state lithium-air battery is the first to achieve a four-electron chemical reaction at room temperature. In a four-electron chemical reaction, four electrons are transferred between two chemical species. This type of reaction, although common in various fields such as electrochemistry, is a feat never before accomplished in a lithium-air battery operating at room temperature. Most lithium reactions involve one or two electrons.
Curbside EV Charging Successful in German Field Trial

2 weeks ago | electronicdesign.com | Murray Slovick

Equipped with standardized interfaces, an integrated 4G modem, and Ethernet, the Curb Charger facilitates the exchange of data between the charger and backend systems using the OCCP 1.6 communication standard. OCCP 1.6 makes it possible for EV charging stations to interact with central management systems. It permits the sharing of real-time information on charging sessions, customer reservations, and the status of charging points, along with the ability to perform over-the-air software updates.
How BAW Clocks Redefine ADAS and IVI Systems

3 weeks ago | electronicdesign.com | Murray Slovick

Just like Goldilocks, the market for advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and in-vehicle infotainment (IVI products) knows when something is just right. And when it comes to getting it right, it's hard to argue against bulk-acoustic-wave (BAW) clocks in applications requiring timing and reliable clocking circuits.
AI-Powered EV Charging Robots Planned for Incheon Airport

3 weeks ago | electronicdesign.com | Murray Slovick

The endeavor leverages Hyundai's robotics and AI to streamline EV charging and accommodate the expected passenger influx after the "Incheon Airport 4.0 Era" expansion and transformation into an "Aviation AI Innovation Hub."ACRs make it possible for a single robot to recharge multiple EVs over the course of hours or days by using a single connector.
Overcome Data-Center Power Challenges with GaN

The existence of wide-bandgap (WBG) FETs can also help solve reverse-recovered charge (Q rr)-related loss issues via totem-pole bridgeless PFC topology. WBG FETs have very low or even no Q rr. When combining component and topology innovations, you can achieve over 99% efficiency. What's more, almost all other parasitics, including gate charge and output capacitance, are much lower in WBG FETs than silicon MOSFETs, leading to much faster switching speeds.
Solid-State Batteries Move from Research to Reality

Stellantis selected the STLA Large multi-energy platform (a BEV-native platform designed to fit a wide range of vehicles, including cars, crossovers, and SUVs, across five brands by 2026) for FEST. The STLA Large platform, a cornerstone of Stellantis' Dare Forward 2030 strategic plan, includes brands such as Alfa Romeo, Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Maserati. It's designed to support up to two million vehicles globally.

Another range extender, the REPB (Range Electric Paradigm Breaker), will find its way into the Jeep Grand Wagoneer (2025). It will have a combined range of 500+ miles for the Grand Wagoneer 4xe. The Grand Wagoneer 4xe is expected to share its powertrain with the Ram 1500 Ramcharger EREV (2025). Hyundai's EREV, debuting in 2026, will offer up to a 560-mile range.
3D Linear Hall-Effect Sensor Simplifies Rotary Motion and Proximity Detection

2 months ago | electronicdesign.com | Murray Slovick

Named after physicist Edwin Hall, Hall-effect sensors leverage the Hall-effect principle to detect and measure magnetic fields, making them essential ingredients in various automotive systems. The sensors reveal how a voltage difference, or Hall voltage, is generated perpendicular to both an electric current and a magnetic field when a conductive material experiences the influence of that magnetic field.
Novel Solid-State Li-ion Battery Tech Raises the Power Density and Reliability Bar

2 months ago | electronicdesign.com | Murray Slovick

Poised to revolutionize energy storage, solid-state batteries offer the promise of a safer, more efficient, and higher-performing alternative to current lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries. ITEN, a player in the development and production of surface-mount device (SMD) solid-state batteries (SSBs) for electronic markets, unveiled its latest advance in energy storage, designed to offer high capacity and high energy density for demanding use cases.
Meeting AI Data-Center Power Demands with Next-Gen Power Protection

2 months ago | electronicdesign.com | Murray Slovick

As high-performance computing and artificial-intelligence (AI) usage continues to escalate across the industrial landscape, data centers demand power-dense, efficient solutions to support the latest central processing units, graphics processing units (GPUs), and hardware accelerators. A normal Google search requires about 0.3 watt-hours of electricity, but if you do the same search with AI using a large language model (LLM) or ChatGPT, it requires an estimated 10X the amount of power.
