With the rapid development of smart electric vehicles, not only the chip demand of advanced processes is getting greater, but the demand for traditional chips will continue to increase.This is the MCU. In addition to the number of bicycles, the domain controller also brings new demand for high security, high reliability, and high computing power MCU.
Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) with relatively high energy density and power density are considered an important energy source for new energy vehicles (NEVs). However, LIBs are highly sensitive to temperature, which …
The chips are able to store energy even when the input is extremely limited: in a range between 10 nanowatts and one microwatt. Devices made using this new green technology will be able to use the solar cells to both charge a battery within the device or power the device as it is used. Previously, devices powered by solar energy production were only able to do …
