Sendyne IC achieves ten-fold increase in dynamic range of current measurement; targeted for EVs and grid applications

Green Car Congress

Sendyne’s SFP100 is a high precision sensing IC that simultaneously measures bi-directional DC current through a resistive shunt, voltage, and temperature at four points using two 24-bit ?? In the past, this level of performance was only available from metrology-grade equipment operating in a lab environment, the company said.

Lessons from a year with solar power

EV Info

The solar panels attach to the roof and convert solar light into electrical energy. The panels generate DC current that varies with the solar power. The inverter converts the DC solar into AC power that can power the house or be directed back into the Grid as well as connecting up the Battery packs that uses 48 Volt DC. .

TU/e introduces converted VW Lupo electric research vehicle; lightweight and longer range

Green Car Congress

The Thundersky batteries use a lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO 4 ) chemistry, which has a comparatively low cost of less than €300/kWh (US$434/kWh), is considered safe and has a long cycle life. This results in a very flexible, programmable environment allowing different types of research to be executed. V DC out, max.
