Explore our end-equipment reference designs and pre-selected products dedicated to our high-performance, industry-leading radar technology. We help enable advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) sensing applications with ultra-short to long range, high resolution and edge intelligence.

The high voltages present in factory automation, motor drives, grid infrastructure and electric vehicles (EVs) can be several hundred or even thousands of volts. Galvanic isolation helps resolve the challenge of designing a safe human interface in the presence of such high voltages.

The AWR1642 device is an integrated single-chip FMCW radar sensor capable of operation in the 76- to 81-GHz band. The device is built with TI’s low-power 45-nm RFCMOS process and enables unprecedented levels of integration in an extremely small form factor. The AWR1642 is an ideal solution for low-power, self-monitored, ultra-accurate radar systems in the automotive space.

Texas Instruments (TI) has introduced new Matter-enabled software development kits for Wi-Fi and Thread SimpleLink wireless microcontrollers (MCUs) that will streamline adoption of the Matter protocol in IoT, or Internet of Things, applications. The software builds on TI’s close involvement with the Connectivity Standards Alliance and innovation in the 2.4GHz connectivity space.

The high voltages present in factory automation, motor drives, grid infrastructure and electric vehicles (EVs) can be several hundred or even thousands of volts. Galvanic isolation helps resolve the challenge of designing a safe human interface in the presence of such high voltages.

Applications such as Hot-swap where Power FET is operated in saturation region under high stress, FET safe operating area (SOA) is a major concern for system designers. Designers need to study the FET SOA curve available in the manufacturers data sheet and determine if the FET can handle the power stress without undergoing damage.

As the world drives toward vehicle electrification, semiconductors enable automakers to optimize performance, accelerate development and make electric vehicles (EVs) more affordable for more people. Advancements in EV and powertrain design are driven by the need to reduce emissions, decrease weight and boost efficiency to help keep drivers on the road longer. 

Not too long ago, widespread adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) was nothing but science fiction. Once thought too expensive or impractical, we are now in the midst of an EV revolution driven by OEMs’ desire to achieve zero emissions and explore alternative energy sources.

Texas Instruments (TI) has launched a suite of application programming interfaces (APIs) giving customers a route to direct and convenient access to real time inventory of TI parts.

Texas Instruments (TI) will showcase technologies that are “Driving Electrification Forward” at electronica 2022 which runs Nov. 15-18 in Munich.

QMLV space-graded and radiation-tolerant products to help innovate your space designs

The TIDA-01027 reference design provides a foundation for corner radar applications to meet NCAP R79 safety requirements using the AWR2944 evaluation module (EVM). The design allows users to estimate and track the position (in the azimuthal plane) and velocity of objects in device field of view (FoV) up to 200 m.

Technology companies are looking to expand into more intelligent and advanced sensing in vehicle interiors. Consumers want to see applications such as child presence detection, occupant detection, vital-sign monitoring and gesture recognition. The in-cabin space currently has various camera-based and time-of-flight solutions; however, most of these are limited to only one application per device. Designers must then include multiple devices in the...

The AWR294x is a single chip mmWave Sensor composed of a FMCW transceiver, capable of operation in the 76-81 GHz band, radar data processing elements, and peripherals for in-vehicle networking. It is built with TI’s low power, 45 nm RFCMOS process and enables unprecedented levels of integration in a small form factor and minimal BOM. 

As FPGAs are continually upgrading their performance, so too is the need for their power consumption. As a result, designers are requiring systems with increased power density that have a level of reliability needed for the harsh environment in space. This webinar covered: The advantages of using TI’s radiation hardened and space enhanced plastic power components over up-screened commercial or automotive alternatives Designing with buck...

As aerospace technology continues to develop, the industry has seen a dramatic increase in the lifetime of satellites. With this increase, the operational lifetime of many satellites now surpasses that of the telecom standards they were developed around. Because of this, the need for re-programmability in space applications has also risen [1]. Microsemi® is one company that addresses this need with their SRAM based FPGA, the RTG4™.

As the demand for smart, automated and eco-friendly end-equipment continues to grow, industrial and automotive technologies are becoming increasingly electrified. With this trend also comes an increased emphasis on ensuring electronic systems not only meet standards of EV performance but safety standards as well. 

Today’s space industry is undergoing an unprecedented expansion across numerous dimensions. There is a rapid increase in the number of spacecraft deployed either in low-earth orbit, mid-earth orbit or geosynchronous orbit. An ever-expanding number of spacecraft includes advanced architectures that deliver a plethora of new scientific instruments.

The careful design of traction inverters for hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) and electric vehicles (EVs) can help enable faster motor speeds, higher efficiency and a smaller system size while maintaining power density. New technologies allow automakers to create the vehicle of the future with longer range and optimum performance.

The UCC5870-Q1 device is an isolated, highly configurable single-channel gate driver targeted to drive high power SiC MOSFETs and IGBTs in EV/HEV applications. Power transistor protections, such as shunt-resistor–based overcurrent, NTC-based overtemperature, and DESAT detection, include selectable soft turn-off or two-level turn-off during these faults.
