40V 3x3mm mosfets handles 300W for car powertrains

Nexperia is aiming at automotive powertrain applications with a 40V 3 x 3mm mosfet Called BUK7M3R3-40H (or BUK9M3R3-40H for logic level), the AEC-Q101 devices feature an Rds(on) of 3.3mΩ and are intended to switch 30W to 300W – allowing them to replace larger DPAKs in some applications. The firm has used its Trench 9 super-junction technology inside ...

ST integrates machine learning into inertial sensors

ST has integrated machine-learning technology into its advanced inertial sensors to improve activity-tracking performance and battery life in mobiles and wearables. The LSM6DSOX iNEMO sensor contains a machine-learning core to classify motion data based on known patterns. Relieving this first stage of activity tracking from the main processor saves energy and accelerates motion-based apps such as ...
