The automotive industry is experiencing a hive of activity. You can tell when the automotive industry is prospering when the house prices in Detroit start going through the roof. In this blog, Jim Fissinger, Vice President, TDK, gives his perspective on the electrification megatrends that are transforming the industry.

TDK Corporation announced the availability of InvenSense IAM-20680HT high temperature automotive monolithic 6-Axis MotionTracking sensor platform solution for non-safety automotive applications, which includes the IAM-20680HT IMU MEMS sensor and the DK-20680HT developer kit.

TDK Corporation (TSE:6762) extends its MiniCell® range to include pressure transmitters in robust stainless-steel casing to measure differential pressure in industrial applications. The B58622M32* series comprises five models that measure between 0 to 500 mbar and 0 to 10 bar. Its compensated temperature range extends from -20 °C to +140 °C and the dimensions are 57 x 34 x 39 mm, including the connections.

TDK Corporation announced the release of its newly developed ADL3225VM inductors for use in automotive Power over Coax (PoC) systems.

TDK Corporation released a new series of small EPCOS X2 capacitors for noise suppression.

TDK Corporation developed the TCM0403M Series of miniaturized thin-film common-mode filters for mobile devices. The 0403 case size (0.45 x 0.3 x 0.23 mm) is 58% smaller and 56% lighter than previous products. With its high common-mode attenuation characteristic, these products reduce intruding noise and improve wireless signal reception sensitivity. The common mode attenuation at 2.4 GHz is 21 dB, and 28 dB at 5.0 GHz, with a maximum permissible current of 50 mA.

HVC 4222F and HVC 4422F are Arm M3 based motor drivers with 32k and 64k flash memory
