Analog Devices<\/strong>, Inc.<\/strong><\/a> (Nasdaq: ADI) and Volvo<\/strong> Cars today announced that Volvo<\/strong> Cars\u2019 first pure electric SUV\u2014the Volvo<\/strong> XC40 Recharge\u2014will feature ADI\u2019s integrated circuits (ICs) that support the battery management system (BMS<\/strong>) and Automotive Audio Bus\u00ae (A2<\/sup>B<\/strong>).\u00a0 By saving vehicle weight and maximizing range, these advanced technologies deliver an attractive total cost of ownership for electric vehicles while also supporting a sustainable future.<\/p>\n

The Volvo<\/strong> XC40 P8 Recharge was named a 2021 semi-finalist in the North American Car, Truck and Utility Vehicle of the Year\u2122 Awards (NACTOY) utility vehicle category.\u00a0 The NACTOY<\/strong> Awards honor excellence in innovation, design, safety, handling, driver satisfaction and value. The awards are intended to recognize the most outstanding new vehicles of the year.\u00a0\u201cThe BMS<\/strong> performance is critical to the electric XC40 Recharge delivering on its promise of a silent-but-powerful, carbon emission-free, safe driving experience,\u201d said Lutz Stiegler, Solution Manager Electric Propulsion at Volvo<\/strong> Car Corporation. \u201cAn extraordinarily high level of thought and research went into every single aspect and component in our first pure electric SUV to ensure more miles per charge, longer vehicle life and peace of mind, while lowering the cost of ownership.\u201d<\/p>\n

ADI<\/strong>‘s ICs provide industry leading accuracy over the life of the vehicle that significantly increases miles per charge and are scalable across the vehicle fleet from hybrid vehicles to full electric vehicles. The ICs meet the highest global security standards, and scale across multiple battery chemistries, including the zero-cobalt chemistries such as lithium iron phosphate (LFP) that support social and environmental sustainability.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, audio solutions built upon Analog Devices\u2019 A2<\/sup>B<\/strong> and SHARC\u00ae<\/strong> audio processor not only deliver an immersive cabin experience, but also support the sustainability trend.\u00a0 New audio features such as immersive sound, noise cancellation, and voice are becoming standard in the vehicle, and pose a serious wiring challenge. ADI<\/strong>\u2019s solutions enable the audio system to be connected into a low-latency bus architecture that guarantees high audio fidelity and saves up to 50 kg of wire and insulation in the vehicle. This combination is especially important in electric vehicles, such as the XC40 Recharge, as the reduction in weight translates directly to increased range.<\/p>\n

\u201cElectric vehicles are the future of Automotive, and the market is growing significantly with up to 10 million full electric vehicles per year expected by 2025,\u201d said Patrick Morgan, Vice President, Automotive at Analog Devices<\/strong>. \u201cWe are committed to continue delivering innovative technologies with all of our collaborators that lead the Automotive industry to a sustainable future.\u201d<\/p>\n
