Toshiba Releases 2-Channel Automotive Standard Digital Isolators Compliant with AEC-Q100
KAWASAKI, Japan--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation ("Toshiba") has launched a line of 2-channel high-speed standard digital isolators for automotive applications. The new "DCM32xx00 Series' features four devices that support stable operation with high common-mode transient immunity (CMTI) of 100kV/μs (typ.) [1] and high data transmission rate of 50Mbps (max) [2]. All conform to the AEC-Q100 standard for the safety and reliability of automotive electronic components. Shipments start today.
The safety and reliability of on-board chargers (OBC) and battery management systems (BMS) in hybrid-electric vehicles (HEV) and electric vehicles (EV) require devices that ensure isolation and prevent noise-propagation. Automotive standard digital isolators provide solutions for the multi-channel high-speed communications and high CMTI these isolation devices require.
The new isolators use Toshiba's proprietary magnetic coupling type isolated transmission method to achieve a high CMTI of 100kV/μs (typ.). This delivers high level resistance to electric noise between input and output in isolated signal transmission, enables stable control signal transmission and contributes to stable equipment operation. A low-pulse-width distortion of 0.8ns (typ.) [2] and a data-transmission rate of 50Mbps (max) [2] are also achieved. The new products are suitable for 2-channel high-speed communication applications such as I/O interfaces with CAN [3] communications.
Toshiba already mass produces 4-channel automotive standard digital isolators, and has now extended its product lineup to 2-channel small SOIC8-N packages. Going forward, the company will expand its range of channels and packages for automotive and industrial equipment. It will continue to provide high-quality isolation devices and photocouplers that support the reliability and real-time data transmission required by automotive equipment.

Skip the Steamer: Why Tineco's Carpet One Cruiser Might Be the Smartest Carpet Cleaner for Prime Day
PARIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--As households across France increasingly prioritize cleanliness and independence in home care, Tineco, a leading innovator in smart home appliances, is spotlighting its premier carpet cleaner – the Carpet One Cruiser – just in time for Prime Day. Positioned as a modern, high-performance solution for deep carpet cleaning, the Carpet One Cruiser offers a professional-grade, on-demand alternative to expensive third-party cleaning services. Why Buy a Carpet Cleaner Instead of Hiring One? In France, the average cost of professional carpet cleaning ranges from €160 to €400 per session, depending on the surface area and fabric type. Given that deep cleaning is recommended two to three times a year, the cost adds up quickly. Source: Market estimates based on national pricing averages from local home service platforms such as Investing in the Tineco Carpet One Cruiser provides homeowners with a flexible, professional-level solution that eliminates scheduling delays and allows immediate use when messes occur. Designed specifically for home use, the unit empowers users to maintain fresh, hygienic carpets year-round, with long-term savings in both time and money. Effortless Maneuverability with Powered Assistance Typical carpet cleaners are heavy, difficult to push, and awkward to use on thick pile rugs or around tight corners. Tineco's SmoothPower system changes this dynamic entirely. Equipped with three selectable assistance levels and bidirectional assist wheels, the Carpet One Cruiser glides across various carpet types with minimal effort. This technology – unmatched in the carpet cleaning category – is especially useful for older adults or users with limited strength. With repositioned water tanks that improve weight distribution, pushing and pulling becomes effortless and intuitive, encouraging frequent cleaning without fatigue. True Drying Power for Quicker, Safer Results Most traditional carpet cleaners offer lackluster drying capabilities. The Carpet One Cruiser sets itself apart with PowerDry Technology, which uses 167°F heated air to actively dry carpets during and after cleaning. Unlike many competitors, whose drying comes passively from internal motors, Tineco's unit produces high-heat airflow explicitly for fast evaporation. The result: carpets that are dry in half the time compared to traditional machines, drastically reducing the risk of mildew, mold, and lingering odors. Hands-Free Maintenance for Better Hygiene After every cleaning session, users can activate a fully automated self-cleaning cycle that flushes the brush, suction inlet, and roller cover in two minutes. Following this, a five-minute hot-air drying phase (at 55°C) eliminates residual moisture from all internal components. This level of hygiene ensures the Carpet One Cruiser is always clean, dry, and ready for its next use – removing the most frustrating aspect of carpet maintenance for good. Availability The Tineco Carpet One Cruiser will be available for purchase on Tineco's official Amazon store and Shoppers are encouraged to stay tuned for exclusive Prime Day pricing and offers, making it the perfect opportunity to upgrade home cleaning routines with a professional-standard solution that's always at your fingertips. About Tineco Tineco was founded in 1998 with its first SKU as a vacuum cleaner and, in 2019, pioneered the first-ever smart vacuum. Today, the brand has innovated into a global leader offering intelligent appliances across home categories, including floor care, kitchen, and personal care. Tineco is dedicated to its brand vision of making life easier through smart technologies and consistently innovating new devices. For more information, please visit

New $363 EV tax plan for electric car drivers amid $67.6 billion cost: 'Inevitability'
Electric vehicle (EV) drivers could soon have to fork out hundreds of dollars a year to pay for their share of using Australia's roads. Those in petrol cars have to pay an excise on fuel at the moment, which goes to the federal government to fund our transport infrastructure. EV drivers, on the other hand, don't have to pay a cent in excise duty because they fill up using electricity, however, that could be about to change. Treasurer Jim Chalmers has flagged a potential new road-user charge (RUC) and EV motoring expert Toby Hagon told Yahoo Finance it's about time. "EVs at some point need to start paying their way," he said. "It's an inevitability that they're going to have to start paying taxes as petrol and diesel cars do today." $13,296 blow for EV drivers as major electric car tax break could soon be scrapped Centrelink age pension changes coming into effect from July 1 $1,000 ATO school fees tax deduction that Aussies don't realise they can claim Chalmers has admitted it won't be a simple task. 'All of this represents a big agenda on the supply side of our economy. None of these reforms are simple," he told the National Press Club this week. It comes as tens of thousands of people have hopped on the EV bandwagon in recent years and they occupy more of the motoring landscape. It's unclear how much EV drivers could soon have to pay, as the government will need to work out the nitty-gritty with the states and territories on the future of the RUC system. Hagon believed it could be in the region of 3 cents per kilometre latest data found the average Aussie drives around 12,100kms per year, meaning EV motorists could be paying around $363 each year to use the road. Comparatively, the fuel excise is currently 50.8 cents a litre, and a typical household pays around $1,200 a year. Aussies forked out roughly $15.71 billion in net fuel excise in 2023-24. They're expected to pay an eye-watering $67.6 billion over the four years to 2026-27. But the EV Central editor reckons there shouldn't be two different systems depending on the type of engine you drive. "I'm not sure why we would treat EVs any differently to any other car on the road, we should be taxing them all equally," he told Yahoo Finance. "Don't just single out EVs or hybrids or plug-in hybrids. Apply a road user charge across the board and get rid of fuel excess. It seems like a logical way to do it." He said that could be a huge win for drivers as their fuel costs could come down, but that isn't a certainty. At the moment, the fuel excise hits heavier vehicles harder because they require more petrol or diesel to run and damage the road more compared to lighter ones. Hagon said an overarching road-user charge that covered every engine type should be based on weight to ensure fairness. EV sales have been stagnating in Australia recently, and the idea of an annual RUC for the market raises questions of whether people would walk away from buying an electric car. Hagon told Yahoo Finance that while EV drivers have enjoyed years of no RUC, they're still saving hundreds of dollars from charging their vehicles rather than paying for petrol. He added there are plenty of other benefits of jumping on the EV bandwagon. "I don't think it's going to have an enormous impact on EV sales, because we've seen the price of EVs come down enormously over the last two or three years, and the competition is ramping up," he said. "The running cost of an EV is so much lower than $363 a year, so it's not going to be the determining factor of whether someone buys an EV or not."Error in retrieving data Sign in to access your portfolio Error in retrieving data
