For the first time this year, the poster sessions will take place at two different locations - in the Entrance Foyer NCC Mitte and in Hall 10.1 NCC Mitte. Networking in a relaxed atmosphere at the After Work BeerOn Wednesday, 12 June 2024, participants of the PCIM Europe exhibition and conference will have the opportunity to round off an eventful day with cool drinks and musical accompaniment at the After Work Beer event. This also offers interested parties the opportunity to exchange ideas with the community and expand their network in a relaxed atmosphere. Professor Leo Lorenz, General Conference Director of the PCIM Europe Advisory Board, will provide an overview of the five key development areas for power electronics in 2024. In addition, the keynote speech by Gerald Deboy on the topic of “Challenges and solutions to power latest processor generations in hyperscale datacentres” at the conference 2024 will be highlighted in an interview. Future-oriented topics such as sustainability, AI and e-mobility will also be covered. Complementing the exhibition and conference: PCIM Europe digital The PCIM Europe digital event platform enables participants to experience the presentations of the conference and exhibition stages independent of time and location and to discover a wide range of information and specialist knowledge. All oral presentations at the conference will be streamed live and will then be available on demand on the digital platform. In addition, the presentations from the Technology, Exhibitor, E-Mobility & Energy Storage and Smart Power System Integration Stages will be made available in the media library. Exhibitors will also present their company and product profiles on the platform. www.pcim-europe.com ROHM and Nanjing SemiDrive Technology Ltd., claimed to be China’s largest SoC manufacturer for smart cockpits, have jointly developed a smart cockpit reference design. The design is primarily based on SemiDrive’s X9M and X9E automotive SoCs, and includes PMICs, SerDes ICs, LED driver IC, and other components from ROHM. A reference board based on this design is also available, consisting of three boards: the CoreBoard, the SerDes Board, and the Display Board. In recent years, the proliferation of smart cockpits and ADAS in vehicles has increased the demand for automotive electronics and components. The performance of PMICs and SerDes ICs, which are at the heart of electronic systems in vehicles, has a direct impact on the stability and efficiency of the entire system. In this context, ROHM PMICs and SerDes ICs potentially achieve a high level of integration in power supply blocks while supporting increased stability during high-speed data transmission. ROHM and SemiDrive have been exchanging technologies since 2019, particularly in the development of applications for vehicle cockpits. In 2022, the two companies entered into a strategic partnership for the development of advanced technologies in the automotive sector. This resulted in ROHM components such as PMICs and SerDes ICs being integrated into the reference board for SemiDrive’s X9H In-Vehicle SoC. The reference board has since been adopted by a number of automakers to provide advanced functionality for cockpits and other vehicle applications. This time, ROHM and SemiDrive have collaborated on the development of the REF66004 reference design featuring the vehicle-mounted SoCs X9M and X9E. As such, the REF66004 is expected to further expand application line-up, including in popular mass-market models. In addition to the SerDes IC used in the X9H reference board, ROHM also provides the BD96801Q12-C SoC PMIC and BD9SA01F80-C buck converter IC for driving the SoC, as well as the BD39031MUF-C general-purpose PMIC for ADAS that supplies power to the SerDes IC. This solution supports operation of up to three display projections and four ADAS cameras (Surround-view camera). Going forward, ROHM will continue to develop products for car infotainment systems that contribute to improving automotive safety and comfort.
