Automotive Engineering - December 2023 - 35

PRODUCT BRIEFS
Hall ICs
ROHM Semiconductor (Novi,
Michigan) announced the BD5310xGCZ
and BD5410xG-CZ series of hall ICs
designed for automotive applications
requiring magnetic detection. The
BD5310xG-CZ / BD5410xG-CZ series
features a 42V withstand voltage that
enables direct connection to a primary
(12V battery) power supply. The
ICs also feature an operating supply voltage range of 2.7V to 38V
that enables support for a variety of applications. The topology
of the ICs reduces power consumption by approximately 20%,
according to ROHM. Both series comply with the AEC-Q100
(Grade 1) automotive reliability standard, while incorporating
multiple protection circuits required for vehicle systems.

Temperature pressure sensor
PCB Piezotronics
(Depew, New York) announced
their temperature
pressure sensor for
combustion testing and
thermoacoustic pressure
measurements. PCB states that the sensor features a unique
design that eliminates the need for water cooling. The model
176A33 pressure sensor features a temperature rating of
1,400° F (760° C). The 176A33 has a high sensitivity of 6 pC/
psi, a measurement range of 3000 psi (207 bar) and a maximum
pressure rating of 5,200 psi (359 bar) with a 3-foot (1m)
hardline cable terminating in a double isolated 10-32 connector.
PCB's UHT-12 sensing element also uses a crystal designed
for more accurate, lower noise measurements during
large temperature variations.

Microcontrollers
Pulsiv Limited (Cambridge, United
Kingdom) announced their OSMIUM
microcontrollers. Pulsiv states that these
microcontrollers developed an entirely
new method for converting AC to DC,
reducing the overall energy wasted by
mains powered devices or battery chargers.
This technology, Pulsiv said, has
been designed to help cut global CO2
Relocker/redrivers
Microchip
Technology
(Chandler, Arizona)
announced their automotive
EQCO510
and industrial
EQCO5X31 reclocker/
redriver devices.
Microchip states that
these devices extend
USB coverage up to
15 meters (49 feet) for maximum reach and are compatible
with the USB 3.2 Generation 1 SuperSpeed protocol. The
EQCO510 and EQCO5X31 can send high-speed data signals
with a rate of 5 Gbps in both directions. The reclocking feature
includes a bit-level Clock-Data Recovery (CDR) that is used to
restore signal timing and prevent jitter accumulation. The redriving
feature restores the levels and shape of the signal being
driven into the next segment, such as a cable or printed-circuit
board (PCB) trace, thus compensating for signal degradation
due to cable attenuation.

STATEMENT OF OWNERSHIP
emissions, deliver longterm
sustainability, and achieve net zero targets. Pulsiv claims a
99.5% front-end peak efficiency and a 97.5% front-end average
efficiency with a 90% low power efficiency at 2W. Pulsiv also
states that the OSMIUM units offer a 0.96 power factor, universal
input voltage range and that inrush current has been eliminated.
