Microsystems & Nanoengineering - Advances in engineered 3D cardiac tissue for functional biosensing, disease modeling, and regenerative medicine

Hans Hasselby-Andersen is CEO of Lotus Microsystems, with more than 20 years of experience across the semiconductor industry as a founder, executive, board member, and investor. He founded Merus Audio and led it through its acquisition by Infineon in 2018, and has held leadership positions at Texas Instruments, Infineon, Toccata Technology, and Nokia. His work has centered on bringing energy-efficient semiconductor technologies to market. Lotus Microsystems is a Copenhagen-based fabless semiconductor company developing integrated power converters and power delivery solutions for advanced electronics. Its silicon Power Interposer Technology combines power conversion with thermal management, including through its vStrata vertical power delivery platform for AI and high-performance computing. In this interview, Hasselby-Andersen discusses server-level energy losses, the limits of conventional power architectures, and why power delivery, cooling, and semiconductor packaging increasingly need to be designed together. Your career has spanned wireless systems at Nokia, semiconductor development at Texas Instruments, founding Merus Audio and taking it through an acquisition by Infineon, and now leading Lotus Microsystems. How has that experience shaped the way you think about the power and thermal challenges emerging in today’s AI infrastructure? I got into semiconductors almost by accident. A startup I was working with was acquired by...

Allegro MicroSystems can benefit from expanding demand for specialized sensing and power semiconductors, but…

Allegro MicroSystems (Nasdaq: ALGM) expanded its automotive power and sensing portfolio for advanced driver assistance systems using 12V and 48V architectures. The offering includes AMD89106 and AMD89186 gate drivers, the A17810 inductive torque sensor and the A81481 power management integrated circuit.The gate drivers share circuit-board footprints and register maps, allowing reuse of motor-control board designs and software across voltage platforms. The A17810 measures torque without magnets and is AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualified. The A81481 combines power regulators and safety diagnostics in one device; Allegro says it can reduce 48V power-architecture component costs by up to 50%. The portfolio addresses steering and braking applications. Samples and evaluation support information are available through the company’s automotive website.
