Relays and fuses cannot meet the requirements of modern E/E vehicle architectures, asserted Infineon Technologies and partial or complete electrification of the primary and secondary power distribution must be taken into account. The company has launched low Ohmic high side switches in a TO-leadless package, the Power PROFET™ + 12V switch family.

Super-Short Channel technology protects mobile devices’ batteries
Super-Short Channel is Magnachip’s latest design technology to reduce MOSFET resistance by shortening the channel length between the source and the drain. It is used in its seventh generation MXT LV MOSFET range extending its portfolio for battery protection circuits of mobile devices.
Coin cell battery life and power booster reduces waste in the IoT
The NBM7100 and NBM5100 are battery life boosting ICs designed by Nexperia to extend the life of a typical non-rechargeable lithium coin cell battery by up to a factor of 10 compared to competing solutions. It also increases peak output current capability by up to 25x compared to what a typical coin cell can deliver without a battery booster, said the company. This extension in working life will significantly reduce the amount of battery waste in low power IoT and other portable applications, claimed Nexperia. It will also make coin cells a viable power source for applications which could previously only operate from AA or AAA batteries.
Two-phase power stage for VRM has small footprint
The BMR511 is a two-phase power stage for voltage regulator modules (VRMs). The integrated VRM power stage provides up to 140A peak and has a small footprint of 90mm2 and 8mm high, said Flex Power Modules.
