Based on an innovative sensor platform for high accuracy pressure sensing applications, TDK has developed robust fuel pressure sensors that are resistant to the growing number of fuels and help carmakers to conform with new emission legislation.

TDK Corporation is extending its B82453C*A* series of 3D transponder coils with a new type that features an operating frequency of 22 kHz. The new component (B82453C0335A022) complements the existing spectrum designed for a frequency of 125 kHz and is suitable for automotive passive entry passive start (PEPS) and other access systems based on the lower frequency.

TDK Corporation presents an extremely compact EPCOS film capacitor for the DC link of inverters. With dimensions of just 40 mm x 58 mm (d x l) it offers a rated voltage of 350 V DC and a capacitance of 65 μF.

TDK Corporation presents a new series of EPCOS transformers designed for an output of up to 60 W, which are therefore suitable for PoE++ according to IEEE 802.3bt. The new B82806D0060A** series comprises four types with different turns ratios for output voltages of 3.3 V, 5 V, 12 V, and 24 V.

Apart from miniaturization, improved efficiency is the most important development goal in the design of power supply units. And ferrite cores are the decisive factor for efficiency. TDK has developed a new ferrite material and improved geometries for the core designs.

TDK's insulation type bidirectional DC-DC converters in the EZA series are power supply units that serve as power conversion platforms in DC power supply systems that include communication functions and exchange DC power bidirectionally in a single unit. They have achieved high performance through digital controlling. Systems can now be designed flexibly.

Here, we will use the example of ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) to describe the excellent characteristics and high reliability of the CGA series of capacitors with a rated voltage of 50V or less.

In volume 2, we will describe high capacitance capacitors used for smoothing.

Here, we will describe the excellent characteristics and wide product range of our automotive grade / CGA series capacitors with mid-level rated voltages (rated voltages from DC 100V to 630V), and applications for which they can be used.

Here, we use the example of wireless charging for electric vehicles to describe the excellent characteristics and wide product range of the automotive grade CGA series of high voltage capacitors with a rated voltage of 1,000V or more.
