TDK’s xEV and ADAS solutions at electronica 2024

TDK’s vast automotive competence

Join us in shaping the future of mobility! As the world moves from traditional combustion engines to electric vehicles (xEV), the demand for advanced electronic components is growing fast. At TDK, innovation is at the heart of what we do. With decades of experience, we’re excited to lead the way, offering advanced solutions to drive the next generation of mobility.

Meet the experts

Stefan Albert
Director Product Marketing Inductors

“In the automotive industry, we can see two main trends, xEV and ADAS. In both areas, power density is a technological challenge: how to integrate more power into a smaller form factor? Our customers would like to see us going beyond just being a component provider, more towards offering solutions, helping them to get to the market faster and not develop everything by themselves.”

Dr. Dieter Vogel
Business Development Automotive

“TDK’s vision for the automotive industry goes beyond innovating components – we are at the forefront of driving mobility transformation. We are shaping a future where vehicles are not only smarter but also central to reducing our environmental footprint. As key enablers of this transformation, we provide cutting-edge technologies that power the evolution of sustainable mobility, ensuring a safer, comfortable, and more connected world.”

Automotive highlights

Electric Vehicle –— Power Density at its Best

Electric vehicles need high-energy-density solutions to overcome space and weight limits. You discovered how our modular DC-link capacitors and power magnetics push the boundaries of power density. Plus, you explored our temperature and pressure sensors, motor controllers, and position sensors in action on a real Volkswagen ID.3 traction motor.

ADAS & Projection –— Making Driving Safer and More Comfortable

Touchscreens in cars can distract drivers, but haptic feedback helps reduce this risk. Our booth featured piezo technology, making touch screens feel like traditional push buttons on control panels, providing safer, intuitive, and distraction-free control.

Precision Sensing –— Smarter Steering and Lighting

Precision sensors improve both driving safety and comfort. At our booth, you saw how our 6-axis IMU enables automatic self-leveling headlights and how our Hall-effect sensors deliver accurate steering in a hands-on demo.

Defogging Camera Lenses –— Clear Vision for Safer Driving

Fogged-up or camera lenses can impair a vehicle’s ability to detect road hazards and avoid collisions. At our booth, you explored our piezo elements for clearing lenses, ensuring your cameras stay fog-free and drivers stay safe.

AlN substrate –— Shrinking a 400-kW Traction Inverter

Want to know how to extend EV driving range without overheating?

The answer: TDK’s aluminum nitride (AlN) multilayer substrates and 3D-printed AlN liquid cooler. At our booth, you discovered how it is possible to pack a 400-kW traction inverter into a space no bigger than two decks of cards – boosting power density while pushing thermal performance to new heights.
