Great session at the Arrow Electronics Tech Expo in Brookfield, Wisconsin!

A few quick takeaways:
- Strong technical session: Explored how advanced driver topologies enable higher switching frequencies and tighter integration while minimizing switching losses in high-voltage power conversion and motion control.
- Architecture is the differentiator: As power density demands escalate, gate driver design is no longer just an afterthought: it dictates system-level efficiency, thermal headroom, and switching reliability.

Thank you for attending the seminar and see you in at our booth at Arrow Electronics Expo in Chicago, Illinois on October 22nd!

Removing the intermediate steering shaft sounds straightforward—until electronics become solely responsible for driver safety and tactile road feel.
Without a mechanical column, automotive hardware engineers face two major non-negotiable hurdles:

1. Synthesizing authentic road feel at the hand-wheel actuator (HWA)
2. Ensuring fail-operational rack control at the road-wheel actuator (RWA) under heavy transient loads

On Thursday, November 12, Allegro MicroSystems’ Kade Hudson joins EV Engineering & Infrastructure to break down the magnetic sensor topologies, dual-channel redundancy, and power electronics required to achieve ASIL D compliance.

What happens when you remove the mechanical connection between the steering wheel and the road wheels?
Steer-by-wire (SBW) unlocks dramatic cabin layout and vehicle packaging freedoms—but eliminating the intermediate shaft means safety and driver feel rely 100% on the electronic architecture.

Join Allegro MicroSystems for a free technical deep dive:
📍 Deconstructing Steer-by-Wire: Hand-Wheel Feedback, Rack Control, and Intermediate Shaft Elimination
🎙️ Moderator: Michelle Froese, Senior Editor, EV Engineering & Infrastructure
🎙️ Speaker: Kade Hudson, Senior Field Applications Engineer

What we’ll cover:
• Decoupling Hand-Wheel (HWA) & Road-Wheel (RWA) subsystems
• Position, angle, and torque sensing for realistic haptic feedback & rack actuation
• Fail-operational redundancy and diagnostics targeting ASIL D safety goals
• Thermal and rapid switching transient challenges: 12V vs. 48V power stages

The "simple" shunt resistor is getting complicated.

With GaN/SiC adoption pushing switching speeds above 1 MHz and 48-V power spreading across AI server racks and robotics, discrete shunt circuits bring painful trade-offs: thermal dissipation, bulky layout, and sensitive Kelvin routing.

Check out this great article on Electronic Design by Matt Hein (Allegro MicroSystems) exploring how magnetic current sensors—specifically integrated Hall-effect and advanced TMR (Tunnel Magnetoresistance)—are stepping in:

✅ Inherent galvanic isolation (immune to brutal dv/dt swings)
✅ Up to 95% board space reduction
✅ Bandwidths up to 10 MHz with 50 ns overcurrent trip times

Are shunts still your default, or have you made the switch to magnetic sensing?

🔗Is Power Electronics Outgrowing Shunt-Based Current Sensors?

As switching frequencies continue to rise with the adoption of GaN and SiC, power engineers are eyeing alternatives to the shunt resistor for current sensing.
