Small Electric and Combustion Engines Small but powerful Rising standards of living, the growing need to conserve limited natural resources and increasingly strict emissions legislation are driving a shift from mechanical to electronic control systems in small conventional vehicles such as motorcycles. This trend is evident worldwide, especially in emerging markets. At the same time, demand for small electric vehicles (SEV) such as electric-powered bicycles (e-bikes and pedelecs) is also rising around the globe. As the market leader in automotive electronics, we are ideally positioned to meet...

Commercial, Construction and Agricultural Vehicles (CAV) High resilience for low-power CAVs Manufacturers of commercial, construction and agricultural vehicles (CAV) are looking for cost-effective ways to increase robustness, service life and temperature range. We offer a vast automotive-qualified portfolio of protected high-side and low-side switches with integrated protection and diagnostic features to drive actuators in 24-volt applications. These switches can drive all kinds of loads (resistive, capacitive and inductive) in lighting, power distribution, relays and motor drives. They are also...

CAV High Power Setting the standards for high-power CAVs Rising demand for fuel and operational efficiency is driving electrification in the high-power CAV segment. The replacement of hydraulic with electric drives gives manufacturers the benefit of greater energy efficiency, compliance with increasingly strict legislation and higher productivity. In the near future, more and more tasks in industry, transport and transit will be powered by fully electric or at least partially electric (hybrid) drives. We are ready to support designers and developers with the semiconductor components needed to...
