NXP announces ultra-wideband wireless battery management system
NXP Semiconductors has unveiled a new wireless battery management system (BMS) solution with ultra-wideband (UWB) capabilities. UWB technology uses high-bandwidth pulses instead of a modulated carrier frequency (sinusoidal signal) as used in 2.4 GHz narrowband technologies such as Bluetooth Low Energy. This provides higher resistance to reflections and frequency-selective fading for improved data transfer, according… Read more »
