Automotive DC/DC converter R
elec Electronics has launched a bi-directional DC/DC converter 48S14.250BC for hybrid automotive applications provides complete control of in vehicle power distribution between 12V & 48V batteries with alternative voltages available on request. The bi-directional has the ability to charge a low side (12V) battery during normal operation (buck mode) and can also charge or assist the high voltage (48V) battery in emergency situations (boost mode). The converter operates more as an ideal current source with variable direction, thus allowing energy transfer between two voltage domains.
Supervision is via an industry
standard CAN interface, providing control of output voltages, currents (& direction) and protection circuits as well as monitoring of temperature and other vital parameters. A high speed CAN-Transceiver (TLE7251VSJ) is employed for communication between the CAN interface and the integral microcontroller. The converter requires both voltages to be present, the high side and low side voltages must be inside the specified range, in order to operate.
The bi-directional has the ability to charge a low side (12V) battery during normal operation (buck mode)
The converter has default limits (minimum and maximum) for current and voltage set points as well as for undervoltage, overvoltage and overtemperature thresholds. The threshold for all protection features is programmed via the CAN interface, but must be within set limits. The converter will shut down and latch if the set points (voltage and current) and thresholds are outside of the default limits. The packaging makes the converter ideal for rugged environments and can be simply integrated with the battery packs via 4 x M8 studs.

New QuadMax processor with AI c
ongatec has introduced the SMARC 2.0 Quick Starter Kit for the new NXP
i.MX 8 QuadMax processor family. The kit offers everything developers need for the immediate evaluation of the new NXP
i.MX 8 processor generation. Developers of vision-based AI applications, in particular, can benefit from the natively supported integrated MIPI interfaces and optional pre-configured software support for artificial intelligence.
“Developers of highly integrated IIoT, industrial and embedded vision applications can reach the next technology level very quickly and easily with the new NXP
i.MX 8 based SMARC 2.0 modules, because they can immediately integrate a credit card sized off- the-shelf module into their applications with minimum space requirements. The starter kit is a key complement to our comprehensive
i.MX 8 ecosystem of products and services. It enables the rapid evaluation of this brand- new processor architecture, which will open up many new application fields for us in the real-time industrial area as well as in vision- based AI sectors,” explains Martin Danzer, director of product management at congatec. “Thanks to the comprehensive design-in services of our Technical Solution Center that come with the starter kit, it really couldn’t be any easier to start developing SMARC 2.0 based
i.MX 8 applications.”
The kit integrates conga-SMX8 computer modules with either the low-power NXP

8X or the high-end NXP
i.MX 8 (QuadMax) series, as well as a conga-SEVAL evaluation carrier board, which offers access to all interfaces and functions for SMARC 2.0 based NXP
i.MX 8 designs. The evaluation carrier supports a comprehensive set of interfaces including 4x PCIe x1, 1x mini PCIe, 2x USB 3.0, and 4x USB 2.0 for generic extensions. Next to 2x RJ45 for Gigabit Ethernet, 4x COM, 1x CAN bus and 12 GPIOs are also available. Displays can be connected via dual channel LVDS, eDP, DP and 2x MIPI-DSI, and additional storage media via an SD/MMC socket and 1x SATA 6G. Digital and analog audio I/Os for I2S and HDA complete the interface offer.
congatec.com New rugged display for industrial applications I
ndustrial LCD manufacturer KOE has launched a new 8in Rugged+ TFT display module. The TX20D207VM0AAA features WXGA (1280 x 768 pixels)
resolution, a 15:9 wide aspect ratio, IPS (in-plane switching) technology which provides exceptional image quality when viewed at any viewing angle, zero bright dot defects and robust operating characteristics. The Rugged+ 8 inch display is designed for use in high
reliability industrial, medical, in-vehicle, marine and aerospace applications where consistent and guaranteed operation under extreme temperature, mechanical shock and vibration conditions is paramount. KOE's Rugged+ display modules share their optical and environmental characteristics with the same demanding standards used in automotive specification display modules.
For dedicated human-machine interface applications, IPS display technology delivers good colour saturation and image stability, high contrast and deep black levels with 176° wide viewing angles (vertical and horizontal). The display features a contrast ratio of 1000:1 and a white LED

backlight with a brightness of 1000cd/m² and a specified 70K hour half-brightness lifetime. The display module also features an integrated LED backlight driver. These key attributes deliver display images that are crisp, colourful and bright.
KOE's Rugged+ TX20D207VM0AAA also features an enhanced cosmetic specification which defines zero bright dot defects i.e. no dead pixels with a bright failure mode. Display modules with dot defects are hugely undesirable if the dead pixels are in the central part of the viewable display area and easily observed. KOE's zero bright dot defects specification provides users with greater confidence and the peace of mind delivered by a premium display. The 20-pin LVDS interface supports 8-bit RGB colour data which enables a colour palette of up to 16.7M colours. An extended operating temperature range of - 30°C to +85°C and storage temperature range of -40°C to +90°C is supported.
