Take a look at what will be the most important electronic technologies emerging and the semiconductor components they will thrust into the spotlight in 2020.

As on-board data systems become more sophisticated, manufacturers need more comprehensive components to handle high rates and larger quantities of data. Accordingly, Microchip Technology designed its USB7002 SmartHub IC to handle the demands of contemporary automotive connectivity.

Thanks to the increasing popularity of business automation and smart home connectivity, the Internet of Things (IoT) is rapidly expanding. As designers aim to add more innovations to this evolving landscape, TE Connectivity presents some easily integrated solutions with its application-focused AmbiMate sensor module MS4 series.

Samtec’s new SEARAY SEAF and SEAM connectors provide designers the versatility needed for Ethernet, fiber channel, and other high-performance protocols. These high density and high-speed components support an impressive 56 Gbps pulse amplitude modulation at four levels (PAM4).

NXP Semiconductors has married next-generation performance with the peace of mind provided by end-to-end encryption with its LPC5500 MCU series. The mass-market family of microcontrollers utilizes ARMs Cortex-M33 technology to provide significantly enhanced architecture, integration, and power consumption compared to prior generation MCUs.

In recent years, car makers have evolved consumer vehicles from being analog automobiles to fully connected transports. As such, semiconductor manufacturers like Microchip Technologies have designed software and components that have made car cockpits increasingly safe, functional, and comfortable.

Microchip Technology has developed game-changing components like the maXTouch2911-node Touchscreen Controllers that will power the smart car revolution.

Designers will be able to cut their time-to-market down, thus saving design time costs, and get on to the next project sooner with this complete solution from ON Semiconductor

The Infineon BCR601 LED controller is a great solution for building installations and how Smart buildings will be developed and used will necessitate such applications as new and more efficient power conversion architectures and LED driver solutions.

The external antenna has given way to PCB and internally cabled antennas in practically all of today’s connected devices. Molex Antenna Products provide many choices to designers of wireless-enabled devices that support one or more protocols, including Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Zigbee, and WLAN.
