Verification of grading technology with Mitsubishi Motors Corporation

Nuvoton Technology Corporation announced the verification of grading technology with Mitsubishi Motors Corporation.

In recent years, the spread of electric vehicles (EVs) has been accelerating against the backdrop of global environmental protection. Under such circumstances, it is being considered for secondary use (reuse) of used in-vehicle batteries without discarding them. However, reuse of in-vehicle used batteries requires grading (sorting), and conventional methods take a very long time, so high-speed grading technology is important for building a reuse ecosystem. Nuvoton in collaboration with Mitsubishi Motors Corporation, is verifying the grading technology for in-vehicle used batteries using the AC impedance method. This verification is a two-year plan, and in FY2021, we were able to derive an algorithm for estimating the deterioration state from the correlation between the impedance inside the battery and the deterioration state of the battery. In FY2022, we will continue to verify the applicability and accuracy of the AC impedance method using batteries actually used in the market.

Indie Semiconductor launches automotive industrie’s most integrated USB-PD programmable controller

Indie Semiconductor has launched a dual-channel USB Power Delivery (PD) IC that reduces component count, simplifies designs and enhances reliability of in-cabin vehicle charging systems for portable devices. Combining power conversion and control and supporting any configuration of USB Type A and Type C ports, the iND87300 is the automotive industry’s most integrated USB-PD firmware programmable controller.

OEMs are focused on enhancing the in-cabin experience allowing drivers and passengers to safely connect and fast charge personal devices inside the vehicle. Automotive USB-based power delivery is rapidly evolving to support higher power charging requirements of products such as tablets and laptops with an increasing number of ports throughout the cabin. The iND87300 has been designed to meet these challenging system requirements through an ultra-small form factor with minimal components. Further, the iND87300 supports field upgradability to future proof device interoperability and user experience utilizing indie’s firmware tools and global support.

Competencies

Successful cooperation is based on mutual trust. Through open dialogue, we will get to the core of your company’s identity and harness your company’s full potential. Your needs and challenges drive our activities. Together, we create a scenario that is then put into action with our partners (see list of partners here). Hardware, software or a grand idea without a concept behind it is just “off-the-shelf technology”. But you should expect more: embedded systems that are tailored perfectly to your needs. That’s tailored technology.

ANALYSIS

Each process starts with an honest assessment of the current situation, taking market conditions and your core areas of expertise into account. We regard this phase as an open exchange of information in an open-minded and unrestricted way. As a trusted partner and challenger, the greatest possible benefit for you is our biggest goal.

Therefore we accept rejections, restrictions or changes to an existing order during the analysis phase. Three questions are key in this context: What do you really want to achieve? Which barriers are you confronted with? Will it take your company forward?

CONCEPT

In the concept phase, your wishes and needs are translated into proposed specific solutions and matched with the portfolios and skill sets of our partners. You will profit from our semiconductor, system and market experience as well as from our capability to make technical resources available.

The proof of concept covers not only technical but also commercial aspects providing the foundation of your business decisions.

IMPLEMENTATION

Now the “doing” phase starts: PRISMA brings together the right resources at the right time in the right place. We take care of the project management using the latest techniques as well as escalation and moderation tasks. You will benefit from smooth cooperation and fast time to market by using our extensive partner network and coordination capabilities.

The success of your project is not the end of the story: we stay by your side throughout every stage of the product lifecycle, provide technical support and assist you with sales and acquisition consulting.
