The Child Presence Detection system uses various sensors to detect the presence of a child or pet in the vehicle and notify and warn the driver. A roadmap for evaluation has been formulated within Euro-NCAP, a European automobile safety testing programme.

Current electronic control units (ECUs) in automobiles use mainly differential signal communications with twisted-pair wires to simplify and reduce the weight of vehicle wiring harnesses.
Among these, the CAN (Controller Area Network) communication system is used for communications that require extremely high reliability such as driving, turning, and stopping.

This is an electric double-layer capacitor with a metal foil laminate film (EDLC/supercapacitors).Low-resistance electric double-layer capacitors (EDLC/supercapacitors) are effective as capacitors for providing supplementary power during peak output, backup during power supply loss, energy harvesting, or regenerative energy storage. They are thin and lightweight, which makes them appealing for use in mobile products.

As the safety and comfort of automobiles increases, more electronic devices are being used in vehicles. Electronic circuits have signal lines and power supply lines, and both require noise countermeasures. TDK’s common-mode filters are characterized by a diverse lineup of products for specific applications including product groups that pursue compact size or a low profile and product groups that adopt an independent terminal structure to meet the harsh environmental conditions of automotive applications. This chapter introduces common-mode filters for power supply lines.

The CUR 4000 is a single-axis contactless magnetic-field sensor for galvanically isolated DC and AC current measurements.
This article clearly describes and explains information valuable for our customers related to the features of TDK's CUR 4000 current sensor.

TDK Corporation (TSE:6762) has extended its range of coupled inductors to include the new EPCOS series B82472D6*. The nine series types cover an inductance range of 2 x 2.2 µH to 2 x 47 µH and are designed for maximum rated currents of 1.1 A to 4.3 A. The RoHS-compliant chokes are certified in line with AEC-Q200 and feature high saturation currents of up to 7.95 A. The magnetically shielded inductors have dimensions of just 7.3 x 7.3 x 4.8 mm and are designed for a wide temperature range of between -55 °C and +150 °C. Depending on the type, the chokes offer very high coupling factors of the two windings, from 97 to 99 percent.

The PLE metal series power inductors are high-efficiency, ultra-compact components with low leakage magnetic flux that are effective when operating with small batteries installed in wearable devices. By using TDK original structural designs and newly developed materials as well as thin-film processes, rated current of 500 mA with high impedance of 2.2 μH is achieved in a component with a size of L: 1.0 × W: 0.6 × H: 0.7 mm.

TDK Corporation (TSE:6762) presents the EPCOS aluminum electrolytic capacitors B43706* and B43726* series with screw terminals. The new components are designed for rated voltages between 400 V DC and 500 V DC and cover a capacitance range of 820 µF to 15,000 µF.

TDK Corporation (TSE:6762) has extended its range of TVS (transient voltage suppression) diodes characterized by their extremely low capacitance values for bidirectional overvoltage protection to include the ULC series (Ultra Low Clamping & Capacitance).

TDK Corporation (TSE:6762) presents its new B32320I* series of compact cylindrical DC-link capacitors for mounting on PCBs. They are designed for voltages of 450 V DC to 1300 V DC and cover a capacitance range of 6.5 µF to 260 µF.
