EV SiC Adoption Advances as Tesla Announces 75% Reduction

There is no denying that silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFETs are the story of the next decade for electric vehicle power electronics. The material improves powertrain efficiency (EV range), operates at higher voltages for faster charging, and creates new materials opportunities, such as Ag or Cu sintering, as power densities and operational temperatures increase.

Tesla's Trendsetting Semiconductor Move and Why You Should Care

Microcontrollers (also known as controllers, MCUs and other name variations) are the backbone on which modern vehicles are built. Regardless of whether a car is powered by petrol, diesel, electric, hydrogen, PDG, or anything else, its functionalities will be heavily dependent on controllers.

Pontosense — Radars for In-Cabin Monitoring

In-cabin occupant detection will be growing rapidly over the next few years. Pontosense is one of the first to deploy a radar in-cabin monitoring system in a production vehicle. Vehicle safety bodies are now mandating the adoption of in-cabin occupant detection and classification systems and OEMs will be rushing to adopt systems like Pontosense's.
