Study identifies main culprit behind lithium metal battery failure; counters conventional wisdom

Green Car Congress

There, they lose their electrical connection to the anode, becoming inactive lithium that can no longer be cycled through the battery. The advanced methodology established in this work provides a very powerful tool to do this in a precise and reliable way.

Infineon introduces next-generation of microcontroller multicore architecture for automotive applications

Green Car Congress

The new multicore architecture contains up to three TriCore processor cores connected over a crossbar running at the full CPU speed and avoiding hardware contentions. The 65nm embedded Flash silicon process technology and the microcontroller architecture are designed to balance increased performance with the need for lower power consumption.

Peugeot Shows Two HYbrid4 Concepts, New BB1 EV Concept at Frankfurt

Green Car Congress

The engine in the HYbrid4 system is in the front of the vehicle, while the power electronics and electric machine are at the rear, enabling four-wheel drive: the engine drives the front wheels, while the electric motor, placed within the rear suspension linkage, drives the rear wheels. The power electronics act as an inverter and converter.

Freescale introduces new automotive microcontrollers; streamlining body electronics networks and reducing vehicle weight

Green Car Congress

As the number of electronic control units in a vehicle grows (up to 100 ECUs, requiring some 10 million lines of code, said Brad Loane, Freescale product manager) the amount of connectivity needed also increases. Central body control modules spend significant portions of time in a low-power monitoring state.

Renesas introduces new microcontrollers for sensor fusion, gateway and chassis system applications

Green Car Congress

The R-Car SoCs would perform image recognition based on data from image sensors, and the connected RH850/P1x-C Series MCU would make judgments and apply control. Error check and correct (ECC) functionality detects and corrects data errors affecting memory, such as flash memory, and the internal buses.
