Arrow Electronics has developed an ISO 15118 vehicle-to-grid data communication evaluation module. “The software, developed at Arrow’s engineering centre in Gdansk, contains protocol stacks for ISO 15118 V2G. There is also sample application code, as well as support for OCCP [Open Charge-Point Protocol] and Control Pilot interfaces as defined in IEC 61851 and SAE J1772,” said the company. ” V2G ...
Recom has launched a series of DIN-rail ac-dc power supplies with 90 to 264Vac inputs and 120W, 240W or 480W outputs – and it has some new mini buck dc-dc module evaluation boards. Efficiency of the ac-dc DIN modules is up to 93.5%. All measure 123.4mm deep by 123.6mm high, and width is 30mm, 40mm or 56mm respectivley. The models are: ...
SiFive has announced a quad-core RISC-V development board. HiFive Premier P550, as it will be known, is built around an Eswin EIC7700 processor which has SiFive’s 64bit three-issue, out-of-order P550 cores, 256kbyte L2 cache and 4Mbyte L3 cache. It is collaborating with Canonical to ensure Ubuntu will run on the board, which is similar to a PC motherboard. “The board ...
NGK Insulators has teamed up with Rohm to produce a complete energy storage evaluation kit for IoT devices including shelf-edge labels. Called REFLVBMS001-EVK-001, it measures 56 x 32 x 1.6mm and the components, including the battery, stand a maximum of 1mm above the PCB. It can accept power at 4.5 to 5.5V, and outputs up to 500mA at one of ...
STMicroelectronics will be showing an evaluation kit that implements both power-line and sub-GHz RF comms for smart grid infrastructure this week at Enlit Europe. Called EVLKST8500GH-2, it combines the company’s ST8500 power-line communication SoC, STLD1 line driver and S2-LP low-power long-range sub-GHz radio transceiver – a chipset which is certified to the v1.4 Hybrid specification of power-line communication industry body ...
STMicroelectronics has created its first galvanically isolated gate driver for GaN transistors. Called STGAP2GS the wide body SO-8W packaged single-channel driver can work with rails up to 1.2kV. The package is 5.8mm long by 10.3mm across pins tips, with 7.5mm between leg roots on either side of the isolation barrier. A separate supply (above), or dual supplies (left) if a ...
Infineon is aiming at wireless charging at up to 50W with a wireless power transmitter development kit. Called REF_WLC_TX50W_N1, it consists of the reference board, firmware and software utility called the ‘wireless charging configuration utility’. The design is a Qi-compatible transmitter, with an MP-A2 type transmitter coil, that delivers 50W to Infineon’s own receiver (REF_WLC_RX50W_N1) and a proprietary protocol, taking ...
MicroSys Electronics has announced an evaluation kit for its system-on-modules with NXP S32G processors – which it aims at headless controllers in vehicle networks for automated driving, for example. The kit is designed as a modular single-board computer, with connections for Flexray (2x), LIN (4x), CAN (16x plus 2x CAN FD) and Ethernet for attaching peripherals. As well as the ...
NGK Insulators has revealed a fuel-gauging evaluation kit for its novel Enercera lithium ion cells, some of which are amongst the few Li-ion cells to be chargeable below 0°C, and some of which can be float-charged. “As part of development support,” said the company, “NGK will provide all customers that use EnerCera with reference designs and evaluation boards free-of-charge starting ...
Flusso has launched an evaluation kit for its forthcoming 3.5 x 3.5mm FLS122 flow sensor. The kit is plug and play, with the sensor on a small PCB that connects to a host PC, and associated software for the PC. The sensor module is configured and calibrated via an I2C cable. FLS122, announced in May, is claimed by Flusso to ...
