Robotaxis Are Going to Sound Weird

Good weird! Skip the small talk in a driverless EV and enjoy the audio cues that will guide you through a ride and keep you safe.

Robotaxis have to use a whole suite of noises to guide a rider through the journey and keep them from doing anything stupid along the way. Most of it is standard car stuff: sounds to let you know a door is ajar, sounds to tell you to put your seat belt on, sounds to alert you that the route has changed. The challenge is making the bleeps and bloops communicate as clearly as a human would.

Zoox has designed a whole suite of sounds for its vehicles. The resulting audio palette sounds like the synthy soundtrack to an '80s movie that’s been sliced into tiny bits. The car's interior aura is a slow ambient hum, like something you’d hear on the chill-out radio station Hearts of Space. The idea is to make the experience of being a passenger feel peaceful.

Good weird! Skip the small talk in a driverless EV and enjoy the audio cues that will guide you through a ride and keep you safe.

APEC News - are you going to the APEC Show in Orlando, Florida?

Are you looking for the latest developments in current snesing and power management technology?

Make sure you visit ACEINNA - Booth 863.

Here are the detials:

ACEINNA To Reveal Latest Automotive & Industrial Power Solutions at APEC



Current Sensors for Next Generation Power Conversion and Management for Data Centers, Telecom & Server Farms, UPS, Motor Drives & Inverters, Electric Vehicle Batteries & Charging Infrastructure



ACEINNA Single Chip solutions provide 1.5 MHz bandwidth and supports fast switching SiC and GaN power stages





ACEINNA Inc. (pronounced “A See Nah”), will be at APEC (March 19 to 23, 2023 in Orlando, Florida) and will be showing their newest high power current sensing solutions in Booth 863.



“ACEINNA current sensors maximize the benefits of using SiC/GaN and help further increase the overall power conversion efficiency while improving the safety thanks to their industry leading high accuracy, high bandwidth, and fast response time. They are used in broad number of applications ranging from solar panel inverters, wind turbines, data center power supplies, motor drivers in industrial and on-board chargers and fast DC chargers, traction invertors and various power supply and conversion applications in automotive,” said Teoman Ustun (VP Automotive Business Unit). “ACEINNA’s family of MCx2101 (AEC-Q100 qualified Automotive) and MCx1101 (industrial) isolated AMR current sensors provide state-of-the-art performance in a cost effective, easy to use, plug and play component.”



Silicon Carbide (SiC) and Galium Nitride (GaN) are starting to replace Silicon MOSFETs. These new transistors are enabling higher frequency systems with better efficiency and smaller size.

When developing power solutions using these higher frequencies, engineers require a higher bandwidth current sensor for the current control loop.

Totem pole PFC requires fast switching ripple current measurement. Motor and inverter apps also require fast ripple current measurement. Higher bandwidth sensors enable fast step response in protection circuits.

ACEINNA Current Sensors are simple to integrate – easy to design in. This small single chip isolated current sensing solution require only a decoupling capacitor,

Next-gen current sensors for smart, high power systems

By Michael DiGangi, executive vice president, Aceinna Inc.

https://electronics360.globalspec.com/article/19370/next-gen-current-sensors-for-smart-high-power-systems

When it comes to electronic systems, it is important to distinguish between efficiency and optimum performance. Some focus on efficiency, forgetting that even though a system is very efficient, it may not be cost-effective because it doesn’t respond to the application as needed during periods of challenging operation. Only by real-time monitoring of power usage can one be confident of both during operation.

There is no precision without feedback, and it is impossible to compete today without having your product work in as precise a manner as possible. Current sensing can provide the critical performance information an embedded intelligent system needs to manage itself in a non-invasive manner, in that it doesn’t have to become a major infrastructure element in your design.

The migration from passive systems to “smart” solutions with intelligent feedback and control has delivered significant operating improvements. In general, power efficiency and motor-drive open-loop current sense accuracy has been highly beneficial to improved operation over the full temperature range. Growing and developing Industry 4.0 needs and processes have moved the goal post to improved performance at temperatures as high as 85°C or 105°C.

In the area of advanced solar inverters, systems are achieving higher levels of accuracy over the temperature range. Similarly, applications needing extremely wide dynamic range, with very good accuracy and precision will need higher accuracy over temperature, and can implement a single closed-loop current sense system rather than two open-loop current sensors to track lower and higher currents.

Today’s current sensors can deliver more efficient and less thermally-challenging industrial systems by constantly monitoring performance under all conditions in real time.

Why were ACEINNA's AMR Current Sensors named as one of Electronic Design Magazine’s Best Power Devices of 2022?

https://www.electronicdesign.com/power-management/media-gallery/21258209/electronic-design-the-2022-powerbest-awards-power-devices?id=21258209&slide=6

ACEINNA's AMR Current Sensors Offer Speed, Accuracy for Applications Using WBG Devices

Rated at ±65 A and designed specifically for applications that use wide-bandgap (WBG) power devices, the MCx1101 is the latest member of ACEINNA's family of anisotropic-magnetoresistive-based (AMR) current sensors. Featuring industry-leading accuracy, response, and bandwidth, according to the company, the sensors provide up to 4.8-kV isolation. Thus, they’re well-suited for current sensing in fast current control loops and protection for high-performance power supplies, inverters, and motor-control applications.

Capable of an accuracy of ±3%, output step response time of 0.3 µs, and 1.5-MHz signal bandwidth, the MCx11-1 can accurately monitor the response of fast-switching SiC- and GaN-based power stages. It also provides an integrated overcurrent detection (OCD) flag signal that can be used to implement the protection required in modern power systems. The sensor's AMR technology enables a typical accuracy of ±3% and OCD response time is a fast 0.2 µs.

Additional technical details can be found in the February 15, 2022 edition of PowerBites. Datasheets for the ACEINNA MCA1101 and MCR1101 are available here.

Electronic Design’s 2022 PowerBest Awards celebrate last year's most significant innovations in power conversion, power storage, and power device technology.

Why was ACEINNA's new INS 401 recognized as one of the top new products of 2022 by OEM Off Road Magazine?

The ACEINNA INS401 Inertial Navigation System (INS). has a real-time-kinematic-enabled, dual-frequency global navigation satellite system receiver, triple-redundant inertial sensors, and a positioning engine.

It is designed for use in L2+ and higher autonomous vehicle applications requiring precise position information for safe and efficient operation.

The new INS401 INS provides precise positioning for a wide range of autonomous vehicles, especially for vehicles in agriculture and construction spaces. It enables these self-guided vehicles to operate (without a human in control) at a high level of operational accuracy, regardless of the type of terrain being worked upon. This includes at night, during heavy rain or snow, and in dusty and dirty environments.

The inertial measurement unit technology used inside the INS responds to gravity, acceleration inertia and the laws of physics. It is immune to the challenges faced by other sensors.
