The advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and automated driving (AD) systems being designed into current and future vehicles demand high reliability for obvious reasons. And that reliance pushes its way down into the components used. To that end, TDK has developed its CLT32 series of miniaturized inductors specifically for the power-management units within these vehicles.

TDK Corporation introduced its 10BASE-T1S (3.2 x 2.5 x 2.5 ㎜ (L x W x H)) common mode filter for automotive Ethernet capable of high S-parameters (Scattering parameters) and a maximum line-to-line capacity of 10 pF. Integrated in the design are laser welded connections to terminals for thermal shock endurance and efficiency with operating temperature range from -40 to +125 ℃.   

TDK Corporation announced the upcoming release of its new B33331I6 series. The family contains compact EPCOS motor-run capacitors certified safety class S2 and the IEC 60335-2-24 standard being brought to market in 2023. When released, TDK believes it will be the smallest compact motor-un capacitors in the industry. Diameters of “the robust aluminum cans” are 30mm or 35mm, with vertical measurements of 73mm and 103mm. The measurements include all connections for accurate designs.

TDK Corporation released a full-scale fabrication of InvenSense IAM-20685, the tiniest ASIL-B monolithic 6-axis MEMS IMU in compliant with ISO 26262 for ADAS and autonomous car systems. “Thanks to its 6-axis integration and its ASIL-B compliancy at the component level, the IAM-20685 simplifies automotive ADAS systems development, helping overcome weaknesses of other technologies,” said Alberto Marinoni, Sr Director, Product Marketing Automotive at InvenSense, a TDK Group company.

CES 2023. TDK Corporation expanded its InvenSense SmartIndustrial sensor platform family with the six-axis tilt outputs IIM-20670 IMU (3-axis accelerometer, and 3-axis gyroscope) operating at a range from -40ᵒC to 105ᵒC for solutions requiring high stabilization over temperature. An accelerometer bias repeatability of 1 mg and a programmable output of 64G is featured along with an accelerometer thermal stability of 1.7 µg/C.

CES 2023. While highlighting 30 technologies, solutions, and platforms at CES 2023 (Central Hall - #16181), TDK Corporation also released information regarding its agreement to obtain Qeexo, Co. Qeexo will bring its expertise of automated machine-learning (ML) platforms for tinyML models requiring low power, and continuous running intelligent platforms. Qeexo will be completely absorbed by TDK for the goal of being an Industry 4.0 leader in enhancing smart edge applications.  

TDK Corporation will be producing the InvenSense IAM-20685, a small-scale ASIL-B monolithic 6-axis MEMS IMU compliant with ISO 26262 for automotive ADAS and autonomous systems such as automated parking, ADAS domain controller, vision systems, vehicle redundant IMU, navigation system aids for dead reckoning, telematics, and accurate positioning.
