Imec, a leading research and innovation center, has announced a major advancement in battery technology. Alongside 13 European partners, imec has developed a lithium-metal solid-state battery with an energy density of 1070 watt-hours per liter (Wh/L), a significant leap from the 800 Wh/L typically seen in standard lithium-ion batteries. >> This higher energy density means these new batteries can store more energy in the same amount of space, potentially enabling longer-lasting and more powerful electric vehicles (EVs). Importantly, the new battery uses a cost-effective manufacturing process that can be adapted to existing lithium-ion production lines, making it a strong contender for commercial production. >> Traditional lithium-ion batteries, which use liquid electrolytes, have limitations, including safety risks like overheating and fires. Solid-state batteries, which use a solid electrolyte, offer key advantages such as higher energy density, better thermal stability, and a reduced risk of fire. However, creating them affordably has been a challenge—until now. >> Imec’s new lithium-metal solid-state battery addresses these challenges with its innovative design. By using a “liquid-to-solid” electrolyte and a thin lithium metal anode, the team achieved an impressive 1070 Wh/L energy density. Additionally, the manufacturing process can be integrated into current lithium-ion battery production lines, potentially lowering costs to under €150 per kilowatt-hour (kWh). This makes solid-state batteries more affordable and scalable for electric vehicles. >> Beyond performance, the new battery design also improves safety. Solid electrolytes are less prone to overheating compared to liquid ones, making them a safer option. The battery also incorporates cobalt-lean cathodes, reducing environmental impact and addressing ethical concerns around cobalt sourcing. >> Imec and its partners are now working on scaling up production and further improving battery performance. With the combined expertise of research institutions and industry leaders, this breakthrough solid-state battery could pave the way for the next generation of electric vehicles and energy storage solutions. >> This development represents a significant step toward making high-performance, cost-effective, and safe batteries a reality for the growing electric vehicle market.

Many general-purpose Battery Charger IC’s are not suitable for energy harvesting applications because their OVP function stops charging when VIN rises above 6.5 V even if the stated input voltage range is wider. Here at Torex we have been developing a multi-function charger IC that can overcome these challenges. With an input voltage range up to 28V, the XC6810 can handle higher voltage spikes and will charge and supply power without restrictions. It features 2 wire communication of charge status to cradle with reverse current protection built in.

The NIDD (Non-IP Data Delivery) protocol is part of the 3GPP standards, which are used for cellular communication. It is designed for IoT devices that need to send and receive small amounts of data efficiently. It avoids the overhead associated with IP-based communication, which can be excessive for such applications. By bypassing IP, NIDD can reduce latency, lower power consumption, and improve the efficiency of data transmission, making it suitable for IoT devices with limited battery life and processing power. Common use cases for NIDD include metering (e.g., smart meters for water, gas, and electricity), remote monitoring, asset tracking, and other scenarios where devices need to send infrequent and small data payloads. NIDD is part of IoT communication technologies and standards, which also includes protocols like MQTT, CoAP, and LwM2M, each tailored for specific use cases and requirements. https://lnkd.in/dhuVJ5gs

Last week started for us in Amersfoort, where members of the NXTGEN Hightech consortium met to discuss #standardization, #qualification, and #regulation of processes and products in the #biomedical industry. Our colleagues Tawab Karim and Nikolas Gaio were present and participated to the sessions and break outs. Specially interesting for us were the presentations of Suzie Noten (NEN) - Standardization initiatives in Organ-on-Chip and Artificial Organs; and Anja Friedrich (Eurofins) - MDR regulations for biological safety and testing. The NXTGEN Hightech program launched a year ago with the goal to bring the Netherlands back to the top as well as contribute to solutions for major societal challenges. Since then, more than 330 parties from industry and knowledge institutes are working together on new high-tech machinery and production technologies to bring these developments to market, supported by the €450 million National Growth Fund. At Bi/ond, we remain excited to be part of this consortium and help make the Dutch high-tech equipment ecosystem a leading cluster in Europe by 2030, working together in developing cutting-edge technology, with our focus on organ-on-chip tech.

In the foreseeable future, Co-packaged Optics #CPO is expected to be the main driver in communication particularly in Silicon Photonics #SiPh market. It shortens the electrical path, resulting in greater energy savings, reduced heat generation and more efficient data transmission speed. Leading semiconductor companies in Taiwan, South Korea and United States are currently developing their own CPO solutions. Furthermore, the latest generation of Nvidia AI chip has been announced in Nvidia GTC 2024, which is designed to process vast amounts of data. It is anticipated that the new generation of photonics data transmission will be necessary to fully realize the potential of this emerging “big data” era.

We have made this year's second release of the open-source version of the GRLIB VHDL IP library! The main highlight in GRLIB 2024.2 is that the open-source version of the library now supports the Lattice Semiconductor Nexus FPGAs under GPL distribution, expanding hardware options and enabling prototyping with the Certus/CertusPro FPGAs. Also providing new template designs for LEON3, LEON5, and NOEL-V processor IP cores, specifically targeting Lattice FPGAs, to enable a quicker design process. The GPL release also includes several improvements to the NOEL-V processor implementing the RISC-V International architecture. The fault-tolerant (commercial) version supports the GRSPWROUTER and GRSPW2 SpaceWire IP cores in the NanoXplore SAS NG-ULTRA FPGA, which have now been fully integrated and tested. GRLIB is available for download (open-source): https://lnkd.in/dgZ3Ezx
