100BASE-T1 Ethernet PHY transceiver targets space-constrained automotive apps

May 2, 2018 By Aimee Kalnoskas Leave a Comment

100BASE-T1 Ethernet PHY transceiver

Texas Instruments introduced a new automotive Ethernet physical layer (PHY) transceiver that cuts the external component count and board space in half and consumes as little as half the power of competitive solutions. The DP83TC811S-Q1’s support for serial gigabit media independent interface (SGMII), small packaging and integrated diagnostic features enable designers to bring greater intelligence […]

High-rez DLP chips target vehicle headlight apps

January 10, 2018 By Aimee Kalnoskas Leave a Comment

DLP chips

Texas Instruments unveiled state-of-the-art DLP technology for high-resolution headlight systems at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES). The new DLP chips combine full programmability and the highest resolution — more than one million addressable pixels per headlight — exceeding the resolution of existing adaptive driving beam (ADB) technologies by more than 10,000 times. Automakers and Tier-1 […]

Multi-switch detection ICs consume 98% less system power than conventional discretes

October 10, 2017 By Aimee Kalnoskas Leave a Comment

switch detector ICs

Manufacturers, especially automotive manufacturers, are challenged to integrate more functionality while saving power and space. Texas Instruments today introduced two multi-switch detection interface (MSDI) devices that consume up to 98 percent less system power than conventional discrete solutions. The TIC12400 and TIC12400-Q1 are the first switch and sensor monitors that directly interface with resistor-coded switches. […]

Memory technology from Floating Gates to FRAM

August 25, 2017 By Scott Thornton 1 Comment

There are two basic types of memory: volatile and non-volatile. Volatile memory loses its content and becomes a blank slate whenever power is completely removed. However, volatile memory doesn’t need much power and can maintain its contents with a small battery. Non-volatile memory retains its contents even if power is completely removed. SRAM and DRAM […]
