In the satellite industry, dramatic increases in local data processing, support for higher throughput communication links and the rapid adoption of electrical propulsion systems are driving demand for much higher performance electrical power systems (EPSs). 

Ranging from 22V to 200V and supporting different radiation levels, TI’s new family of gate drivers enables designers to improve power system efficiency for every type of space mission. Texas Instruments (TI) today announced a new family of radiation-hardened and radiation-tolerant half-bridge gallium nitride (GaN) field-effect transistor (FET) gate drivers.

Texas Instruments (TI) is working with NVIDIA in the development of power management and sensing technologies for 800V high-voltage direct current (HVDC) power distribution systems for data centre servers.

The electric vehicle (EV) charging industry is experiencing rapid growth. With consumers, industries and governments demanding more environmentally sustainable transportation, the EV charging infrastructure must become more efficient and accessible.

In electric vehicle (EV) charging and solar inverter systems, current sensors measure current flow by monitoring the voltage drop across a shunt resistor or the magnetic fields generated by current flowing through a conductor. These high-voltage systems use current flow information to control and monitor power conversion, charging and discharging.

One of the most important design considerations when developing any building automation product is energy efficiency. Some new wireless smart sensors have the capability of operating for more than five years on a single coin-cell battery; others can last as long as 10 years or more. In this white paper, Brian Dempsey Systems Design Engineer at Texas Instruments discusses various advances with respect to energy efficiency in building automation.

Humanoid robots integrate many subsystems, including servo control systems, battery management system (BMS), sensor systems, AI system control, and many more. Size and heat dissipation requirements are challenging to meet when integrating these systems into the volume of a human while maintaining the smooth operation of this complex system. 

Texas Instrument’s (TI’s) next-generation radar sensors, AWR2E44P and AWR2944P, push TI’s ADAS radar portfolio forward with a dedicated focus on performance improvements to meet stringent NCAP (new car assessment program) and FMVSS (Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards) automated driving and safety regulations.

The TPS7H60x3-SP series of radiation-hardness-assured (RHA) gallium nitride (GaN) field effect transistor (FET) gate drivers is designed for high frequency, high efficiency applications. The series consists of the TPS7H6003-SP (200V rating), TPS7H6013-SP (60V rating), and the TPS7H6023-SP (22V rating).

The AWR2944P/AWR2E44P is a "Performance" expansion to the AWR2944 portfolio with enhanced RF and compute performance to meet NCAP + Automated Driving requirements. The AWR2944P/AWR2E44P is also a single-chip mmWave sensor composed of a FMCW transceiver, capable of operation in the 76- to 81-GHz band, radar data processing elements, and peripherals for in-vehicle networking. 

The LMK3C0105-Q1 is a 5-output reference-less clock generator with SSC support. The device is based on TI proprietary Bulk Acoustic Wave (BAW) technology and provides ±25ppm clock outputs without any crystal or external clock reference. The device can provide 5 SSC clocks, 5 non-SSC clocks, or a mix of SSC and non-SSC clocks at the same time. 

In 2023, Apptronik announced upgrades to their humanoid robot, Apollo. As part of that development, Apptronik pulled TI in as a collaborator to support its robot’s need for safe and efficient movement.

The demand to transfer more and more data in a secure and reliable way is increasing. Listen to Marian Kost, our vice president of connectivity technology as he discusses how innovations in our products and standards as well as open source software is enabling more connectivity in applications like smart buildings, grid, medical system, cars and more.

The LMK3H0102-Q1 is a 2-output PCIe Gen 1 to Gen 7 compliant reference-less clock generator with Spread Spectrum Clocking (SSC) support. The part is based on TI proprietary Bulk Acoustic Wave (BAW) technology and provides ±25ppm clock outputs without any crystal or external clock reference.

Texas Instruments’ high-precision Bulk-Acoustic Wave (BAW) micro-resonator technology is integrated directly into a package allowing for low jitter clock circuitry. BAW is fully designed and manufactured at TI factories like other silicon-based fabrication processes.

In the journey toward more autonomous zone architectures, software-driven decision-making requires precise timing and reliable clocking circuits. From advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) to in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) and high-speed data networks, automakers are implementing the Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) 6.0 specification, Gigabit Ethernet, and serializers and deserializers (SerDes) to improve safety and enhance the...

RS-485 has been the most used wired communications interface in industrial applications for more than two decades now. Balanced differential signalling of RS-485 allows for rejection of common mode noise and facilitates communications over long distances in noisy industrial environments.

Recent publicity has attracted the public eye to the development of automated vehicles, especially Google’s experimental cars that have logged thousands of self-driven miles with minimal help from human drivers.

Modern vehicles demand robust safety systems to meet increasingly stringent regulations. This white paper explores how System Basis Chips (SBCs) support functional safety in automotive designs, detailing their role in diagnostics, power management, and compliance with ISO 26262 standards - crucial for the development of advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving technologies.
