China won’t meet its chip goals, says IC Insights

Instead of meeting its ‘Made in China’ target of supplying 70% of its domestic chip needs by 2025, China will only be producing 19.4% of its chip requirements by then, says IC Insights. In 2020, IC production in China represented 15.9% of its $143.4 billion IC market, up from 10.2% 10 years earlier in 2010. ...

Current and voltage chip takes the hard work out of isolated mains measurements

Allegro MicroSystems has integrated power, voltage and current monitoring into a single chip with reinforced isolation. Only a handful of resistors are needed to complete the high-voltage interface (diagram right). Called ACS37800, it uses a Hall effect scheme to measure current and external resistors to stand-off the voltage measurement – no opto-isolators, Rogowski coils, current transformers, isolated operational ...
