Ideal Power has secured new foundry supply for B-TRAN devices. Q2 milestones also include functional first silicon, an 800V circuit-breaker reference design, and further work towards AI data-centre evaluations.
Enterprise SSDs now consume nearly half of global NAND shipments. Counterpoint says AI inference lifted their share to 48% of NAND bits in Q2, while YMTC entered the shipment top three.
Sony and TSMC formalise their Kumamoto image-sensor manufacturing joint venture. The binding agreement commits about ¥747 billion between the companies, with volume production of next-generation sensors targeted for 2029.
Saelig has added RadGreen continuous RF monitors for industrial environments. Connected and standalone configurations provide persistent threshold monitoring, alerts, logging, and fault detection for laboratories and production areas.
MaxLinear has introduced two intelligent eFuses for rack-scale AI power. The 50A and 60A devices combine hot-swap protection, low-resistance MOSFET paths, fault handling, and optional PMBus telemetry.
Vishay has launched surface-mount Y1 safety capacitors for industrial filtering. The SMDY1…S series combines 300VAC and 1,500VDC ratings with capacitances to 1,500pF and up to 40% lower board-space requirements.
Ouster will expand BlueCity lidar across 160 Utah intersections statewide. The deployment adds REV8 sensors with 500-foot detection, optional colour capture, edge privacy processing, and integration into existing traffic-control infrastructure.
LX Semicon has begun mass production of its automotive MCU. The 40MHz Cortex-M3 device will enter Hyundai and Kia vehicles after around three years of development, qualification, and supply-chain preparation.
Altera has expanded Agilex memory support through Quartus 26.1.1 software. The update adds DDR5-6400 and LPDDR5-6400 on Agilex 7 M-Series devices, alongside broader low-power memory options elsewhere in the portfolio.
