AI-Powered EV Charging Robots Planned for Incheon Airport

6 days 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

1 month 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

1 month 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

1 month 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.
1,000-V "Super E-Platform" Fast-Charges 400 km in 5 Minutes

2 months ago | electronicdesign.com | Murray Slovick

Blade BatteriesThe Super E-Platform powertrain system includes blade-style batteries, high-performance electric motors, and "a new generation'' of silicon-carbide (SiC) power chips that can handle voltage levels of up to 1,500 V. The Blade battery uses lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) chemistry and is said to absorb up to 1.25 miles (2 km) of range per second, at a 10C rate, of charging. The C-rate is the unit used to measure the speed at which a battery is fully charged or discharged.
Hands-Off Detection IC Enhances ADAS Safety

2 months ago | electronicdesign.com | Murray Slovick

The RAA2S4704 IC offers HMI and hands‑off detection (HOD) capabilities. Capacitance and conductance information is derived from measured impedance. Introducing a potentially game-advancing component is a bit like a golfer hitting a hole in one. Both events happen relatively infrequently, yet everyone knows there's another one coming but not exactly when or by whom.
Radical Change Ahead?

2 months ago | electronicdesign.com | Murray Slovick

The market share for battery electric vehicles over the past few years has remained largely stable, rising to 1.3 million vehicles sold last year, which is only about 8% of total sales of new passenger vehicles. From all indications, 2025 is shaping up to be one of the most challenging periods the automotive industry has faced in years. President Trump's recent executive orders present a test to automakers that have made a generational investment in EV and EV infrastructure.
