‘Automotive Industry’
An Electronicstalk guide
Start with the news release Dates announced for National Electronics Week from National Electronics Week, which we summarised at the time by saying "NEW Events has announced that National Electronics Week 2011 is taking place from 12-13 April at the NEC Pavilion in Birmingham. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Linear introduces H-grade switching regulator from Linear Technology: "Linear Technology has announced a H-grade step-down switching regulator for load dump and cold-crank conditions commonly found in automotive applications as well as 24V industrial supplies.".
In December 2010, we covered the news from International Rectifier - take a look at International Rectifier offers automotive MOSFETs which says: "International Rectifier has expanded its offering of 40 to 100V automotive-qualified MOSFETs, including a range of logic level devices. ".
Take a look also at the news release from Diodes Incorporated, Self-protected MOSFETs for automotive applications, as well as Gain blocks for cellular bands GSM, CDMA and UMTS from Avago Technologies, and Valve connector simplifies manufacturing process from Molex.
