China this year launched the "Made in China 2025" program and a detailed implementation plan, will grant a lot of money to help Chinese manufacturing accelerated development of industrial automation, intelligent automation and robots to detonate a huge huge business opportunities; including ABB, Siemens, Rockwell such as a public international companies, as well as many domestic and industrial sector expanded by key sights. In the upstream industry of chip makers, which will focus on business opportunities?

TI's four motor-driven offensive scheme

TI analog products business development manager Wei pointed out that the present letter, the motor is a very important part of the industrial sector, but is also known as power-hungry, how to make good use of the motor, the industry has always been a very important issue. The letter Mr. Wei believes that the optimization of the algorithm is in fact largely focused on the optimization of efficiency, we have been living in this area of industry-leading position. TI's products tend to choose the optimal driving side MOS, for low current motor drive products TI typically integrated MOSFET and optimization RDSON, also sustained by reducing the quiescent current to reduce power consumption when the motor is not running.

As a global market leader, TI motor control using advanced experience in professional and technical aspects, combined with analog and embedded processing products, can provide a complete motor system solutions. To sum up TI motor-driven products and solutions have the advantage of four main areas:

1, the product coverage. Our products can be used to drive DC brush, brushless, stepper motors, servo motors for solutions there. In each segment of the motor type, we also have different solutions, such as for today's hottest BLDC, we have felt, no sense solutions, but also well-wave control, sine wave control and more complex FOC, For different power motors can find the appropriate solution.

2, easy to use, it can shorten the development cycle. Our DRV8 series brush and stepper motor drive, and DRV10 ($ 0.4387) Series brushless motor driver chip, the control section are integrated inside the motor and high performance, customers can easily complete the design of the motor drive end so put more effort into research and development among the system side.

3, high reliability. TI's motor drive protection program will be integrated in the chip, reliability strong. TI is committed while the algorithm can have different parameters drive motor, the same product can be in different application needs of the end product without causing problems, simplify the development cycle.

4, comprehensive product and support. TI products just chip itself, we also provide supporting evaluation kits, reference designs, application notes, etc., user-friendly. When customers have a problem, you can contact our FAE, but more convenient to directly visit our forum or the TI E2E online support communities, our experts will direct motor drive to help customers solve technical issues at the forum.

Semiconductor Power Industrial Production Video Surveillance

Advanced Technology Semiconductor as a leading supplier of image sensor products for the security market is also used to close and maintain broad-based, can be fully utilized to play, for a variety of applications across. In the industrial production site, via video surveillance system can quickly, real-time monitoring and surveillance.

In fact, surveillance / security market over the next few years will continue to grow steadily, especially with the image signal processing compression standards such as H.264 and H.265 become dominant. This enables higher resolution and faster frame rate video transmission can be used for video analysis such as facial recognition.

Brian Benamati Semiconductor image sensor unit security market segment marketing manager, network camera video surveillance industry is the focus of future development, and its constant innovation and development depends on the performance of key components of the image sensor.

Brian further pointed out that the image sensor on the monitor used in the technical requirements, surveillance / security market camera manufacturers and system integrators have two key performance requirements: outstanding low light level imaging (in the dim light of scene conditions provided enough SNR) and high dynamic range (HDR, to simultaneously capture image in bright highlights and dark shadows). Once these key parameters to achieve the next performance factors include the expansion of near-infrared (NIR) quantum efficiency (with NIR illuminators for imaging), and excellent modulation transfer function (MTF) (for image sharpness).

Molex seize the opportunities for development of industrial connector

JuiGoy Eng Molex sales manager for China, industrial connectors are indeed facing a great opportunity in the IoT, intelligent industrial wave, mainly in the following three aspects:

First, the wireless connection for intelligent industry has a very important role, through the deployment of a mobile, miniaturization and networking various "smart" device on the wireless mesh network, we can achieve optimal productivity. For example, Molex standard antennas in this supply range, is particularly suitable for these applications.

Second, the optimization of intelligent industrial processes will also promote the efficiency of numerous applications in human machine interface (HMI) in, and Molex offers included liquid level sensor including a variety of capacitive touch sensor products.

Third, the fiber optic interconnection systems but also to promote the growth of the main factors of intelligent industry and Things (IoT) long-term evolution. Molex developed circular lens MT extension bundle interconnect solutions to meet the specific requirements of data-intensive industries.

Chip business is ultimately attributable to system integration territory

High level of integration is a prerequisite for coping Industry 4.0 era, such as the semiconductor supply more and more are beginning to be integrated MCU and sensor. In the industrial automation control systems, sensor systems at the beginning of when. Sensor similar to the sensory system can quickly and accurately obtain information and withstand the test of harsh environment, automatic control system to achieve a high level of assurance. It can be said without many cheap industrial sensors, there is no production systems of modern industry, let alone build Industry 4.0 system. In addition, with low power consumption, low cost, easy to use and ubiquitous perception characteristics of wireless sensor networks is rapidly rising, the traditional practice due to cost and other factors failed to realize online detection of some important industrial process measurement parameters possible.

Overall, industry 4.0 brings technological development is bound to make a series of new adjustments semiconductor maker in the enterprise architecture to adapt to the new market situation. This electronic manufacturers, the future challenges will be greater, the opportunity is huge.
