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 tram is part of a bigger project to make public transport vehicles more energy efficient. A Siemens ultra low floor tram has been equipped with intelligent control units that predict whether cooling or heating will be required. If the tram enters a tunnel where the ambient temperature is cooler, the air-conditioning will be turned down. The units control three air

    A new generation of ITS equipment is helping road authorities get to grips with cycle safety – and not a moment too soon as Colin Sowman discovers. Cyclists - remember them? Apparently not. At least not according to the OECD 2013 report Cycling, Health and Safety which contains the statement: ‘Cyclists are often forgotten in the design of the road traffic system’. Looking through the statistics that exist (each country appears to compile them differently) it is not difficult to see how such a conclusion cou
