"Leveraging MediaTek's AI IoT system-on-chip (SoC) platform, we are collaborating with global companies such as Arrow to provide AI technology solutions and technical support on the implemented IoT applications to improve how the people of Vietnam work and play," said Miles Sun, general manager of Corporate Sales, Asia & Africa, MediaTek."

Aiming to achieve net-zero emissions in the transport sector by 2050, Vietnam has recently introduced national policies including tax incentives and subsidies to promote electric vehicle development². The local transportation industry is ramping up EV production capacity with an expected goal of reaching 3.5 million vehicles by 2040.

Power electronics is a critical part of electrified powertrain in EVs, supplying and controlling the current and voltage throughout the drive system, including motor control, energy management, and charging speed. Wide bandgap (WBG) semiconductors such as SiC and GaN are poised to revolutionize power applications and EV innovations. The ability to design and manufacture WBG-enabled devices will allow automotive innovators and engineers to develop EV solutions, helping to deliver superior reliability, performance, and energy efficiency than the current technology.

"It's an exciting and critical time to be innovators in the automotive industry. Leveraging innovated technologies on vehicle battery system, high-speed video link, audio signal transmission and processing, we look forward to working with Arrow to accelerate vehicle electrification and boost EV industry in Vietnam," said Edward Chen, marketing director for AP JC Automotive Business and China Business Unit of Analog Devices.

At the seminar, engineering experts from Arrow and major technology suppliers introduced a wide range of AIoT and EvTech products and solutions, including:

• Analog Devices' battery management system (BMS)
• Diodes' IoT and EV solution
• ECS's modern EV and IoT
• Exascend's flash technology for high-performance and computing in AIoT and EvTECH
• MediaTek's Genio IoT and Genius at the Edge
• Silicon Labs' secure, intelligent wireless technology
• TE Connectivity's EV solution
• Texas Instruments' solution for electrification and AIoT
• Toshiba's semiconductors including discrete devices, references design/ Eval Boards
• Yageo's one-stop solution
