Murata has set a new capacitor performance benchmark with the introduction of its NFM15HC435D0E3. This is the world’s first automotive-grade three-terminal multi-layer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) to provide a capacitance of 4.3 μF in a 0402 inch (1.0 x 0.5 mm) size. As a result, superior power decoupling and noise removal can be brought to automobile designs in which high-performance processors are being employed - such as for advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving functions.

Murata has co-developed a new generation of RFID modules with Michelin that embed into tyres. The robust passive RFID tags require no external power supply. They survive and continue to work while being driven on for extremely high mileages.

Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (hereinafter, Murata) is announcing the opening of Murata Mirai Mobility, an exhibition facility for automotive products, and Murata Interactive Communication Space, a facility to promote open innovation, in its Minato MIRAI Innovation Center on May 20, 2021.

Murata continues to support ongoing engineering progression within the automotive sector with the introduction of the LQW21FT_0H series.

In April, Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. will begin a service in Indonesia that will provide data from a traffic counter system mapping traffic volume via local service providers.

Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd.’s subsidiary Murata Electronics Trading (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. (hereafter: Murata Shenzhen) has installed a new anechoic chamber (Murata Shenzhen EMC -LAB ; hereafter: the Center) in Shenzhen, China and has begun providing EMC evaluation support. The Center enables the evaluation of EMC, including radiated emissions, and represents Murata’s second anechoic chamber in China, following Shanghai.

 Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. has introduced the BLM18SP_SH1 series of the world's smallest*1 chip ferrite beads (for noise suppression) for use in automotive power supply applications. The company has started shipping samples, and volume production is scheduled to begin in June 2020.

Murata has developed a new MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) 6DoF (Six Degrees of Freedom) inertial sensor that realizes high performance for safety-critical automotive applications.
