2266 Renesas Electronics has introduced seven new power metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect-transistor (MOSFET) products equipped in HSON packages for use in automotive electronics control units for applications including direct-injection engine management and electric pump motor control.

The new products, including N-channel MOSFETs with 40V and 60V ratings and P-channel MOSFETs with a voltage rating of -30V, can be used for solenoids and motor switching or to protect against reversed battery conditions. The new products are available in HSON packages that are approximately one-half the size of the existing TO-252 package. They can switch currents up to 75A DC, and support channel temperatures up to 175°C.

    The new IDTechEx report, Electric Car Technology and Forecasts 2017-2027 finds that the biggest change in cars for one hundred years is now starting. It is driven by totally new requirements and capabilities. They will cause huge new businesses to appear but some giants currently making cars and their parts will spectacularly go bankrupt. Cities will ban private cars but encourage cars as autonomous taxis and rental vehicles. Already 65 per cent of cars in China are bought by businesses. The Japanese wa
