| The power inductor BCL series for automotive is compact inductors with high inductance by using TDK’s proprietary material technology and structural design. The TFM and SPM series are updated with new products for automotive applications. We will explain various power inductors and their multi-scenario application scenarios in an easy-to-understand way. |

| PCB Pattern Design for ESD Countermeasures | ESD Visualization |
TDK has a lineup of multilayer chip varistors that protect equipment for malfunction and failure due to ESD (electrostatic discharge), and we have long contributed to solving customer ESD problems.
Recently, however, although multilayer chip varistors have been effective in the past, they have been unable to provide sufficient protection as customer devices have become smaller, lighter, and more sophisticated.
To investigate the cause of this problem, we conducted ESD tests assuming the miniaturization of customer equipment. |

| TDK’s SmartSonic™ MEMS Ultrasonic Time-of-Flight Sensors |
TDK’s ultrasonic Time-of-Flight (ToF) sensors integrate a MEMS PMUT (Piezoelectric Micromachined Ultrasonic Transducer) with an ultra-low power SoC (System on Chip) in a miniature reflowable package.
These sensor solutions are capable of ranging to targets of any composition up to 5 meters in any lighting condition, making them ideal for a variety of applications including: obstacle avoidance, presence detection, robotics, security & surveillance, AR/VR, drones, liquid level sensing, smart home/building, and general IoT. |
| TAS 4240 - small redundant analog TMR angle-sensor for safety-relevant applications |
| TAS4240 is a compact, cost-effective, redundant, half-bridge TMR-based sensor for angle and position detection. This article clearly describes and explains the features of TDK's TMR sensors, thus giving valuable information to our customers. |
| Energy Varistors |
| Energy Varistors are metal-oxide cylindrical shaped varistor elements which represents the core component of a surge arrester. Featuring sharp and instant transition from the insulating to the conducting state, made of ceramic, energy varistors are non-linear voltage dependent resistors protecting small electronic circuits up to ultra-high voltage systems. |
