ROME (AP) — In 2020, it was a run to the Champions League quarterfinals just as Bergamo was becoming the epicenter of the coronavirus pandemic . Last season, it was an upset victory over Bayer Leverkusen in the Europa League final to end the German club’s European-record unbeaten run at 51 games. Atalanta keeps on surprising and its latest exploit was moving atop Serie A following a 3-1 win at Parma on Saturday for its seventh straight win in the Italian league. And to think that coach Gian Piero Gasperini considered leaving Atalanta toward the end of last season. Now, Gasperini has the chance to guide “La Dea” (The Goddess), as the team is nicknamed, to its first ever Italian league title. There’s a long way to go, though, and it should be noted that Atalanta is level on points with second-place Inter Milan, which routed Hellas Verona 5-0 earlier, and that Napoli has a chance to reclaim the lead when it hosts Roma on Sunday. Also Saturday, AC Milan and Juventus drew 0-0 at the San Siro in a match with few chances from both sides. Milan produced one shot on goal and Juventus created two. Atalanta's Mateo Retegui scored his league-leading 12th goal of the season, Ederson made it 2-0 before the break and Europa League final hero Ademola Lookman restored the two-goal advantage after Matteo Cancellieri had pulled one back for Parma. Retegui’s fourth headed goal of the season put him atop that category across Europe’s five major leagues, according to Opta, while Lookman volleyed in a cross from Juan Cuadrado after having two goals disallowed. Gasperini was sent off midway through the second half for protests. But he was smiling in the stands at the final whistle. Atalanta's 34 goals are the most in Italy, and trail only Barcelona (42), Bayern Munich (36) and Paris Saint-Germain (36) across Europe's top five leagues. Atalanta has won two and drawn two in the Champions League this season. Marcus Thuram scored twice for defending champion Inter at Verona. Inter was missing top striker Lautaro Martinez, who was out sick. But five goals in the first half made Lautaro’s absence a non-issue. Joaquin Correa opened the scoring 17 minutes in, Thuram then scored twice before more goals from Stefan de Vrij and Yann Aurel Bisseck. Correa nearly added another in second-half stoppage time but his effort hit the woodwork. Inter's only loss across all competitions this season was a derby defeat to Milan in September.

Velumani issues clarification over meeting Nainar NagenthranSince then, business titans, political giants and global film stars have all been among those ringing the opening bell at the NYSE. Ronald Reagan rang the bell as president in 1985. Billionaire businessman and former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Hollywood star Robert Downey Jr. have also rung the bell. The list even includes famous Muppets: Miss Piggy was once a bell ringer. President-elect Donald Trump joined that list Thursday when he opened trading at the famous stock exchange on Wall Street. He was accompanied by his wife, Melania, who interestingly enough received the honor before her husband. As first lady, she rang the bell in 2019 as part of her “Be Best” program. Bell-ringers are more commonly founders and executives from a wide range of companies. Over the last few months, the guests have included executives from Alaska Air Group, Bath & Body Works, and Ally Financial. Stock trading around the location of the NYSE's current home has deep roots that trace back to the Dutch founding of New Amsterdam and when Wall Street had an actual wall. The NYSE traces its direct roots to the “Buttonwood Agreement” signed in 1792, which set rules for stock trading and commissions. The NYSE moved into its first permanent home in 1865. The first bell in use was actually a gong. The exchange moved into its current iconic building in 1903 and started using an electronically operated brass bell. That has evolved into synchronized bells in each of the NYSE’s four trading areas.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4-6) have already received some positive news, as they look to snap a four-game losing streak on Sunday against the New York Giants. All signs indicate that star WR Mike Evans will return from a three-game absence due to a hamstring injury. The absences of Evans as well as Chris Godwin, who were both injured in Week 7 against the Baltimore Ravens, have undoubtedly contributed to Tampa's November slump. Godwin is expected to miss the rest of the 2024 season, but Evans is set to provide the Bucs with an offensive spark down the stretch. With a favorable schedule the rest of the way, it's just in time for him to help turn their season around. It is worth noting that Evans will likely be limited on Sunday, assuming he plays. It's understandable that Tampa would try to ease him back into the lineup, not wanting to risk a re-injury. For that reason, fans shouldn't expect Evans to make a huge impact in the stat sheet against the Giants. Given that Tampa are six-point favorites on the road, he shouldn't need to make one as long as the rest of the team does its job. As long as Evans is able to suit up and play enough snaps to get himself back into a rhythm, that should be considered a success for him and the Buccaneers.As New York City prosecutors worked Thursday to bring murder charges against Luigi Mangione in the brazen killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson , supporters of the suspect are donating tens of thousands of dollars for a defense fund established for him, leaving law enforcement officials worried Mangione is being turned into a martyr. Several online defense funds have been created for Mangione by anonymous people, including one on the crowdfunding website GiveSendGo that as of Thursday afternoon had raised over $50,000. The GiveSendGo defense fund for the 26-year-old Mangione was established by an anonymous group calling itself "The December 4th Legal Committee," apparently in reference to the day Mangione allegedly ambushed and gunned down Thompson in Midtown Manhattan as the executive walked to his company's shareholders conference at the New York Hilton hotel. "We are not here to celebrate violence, but we do believe in the constitutional right to fair legal representation," the anonymous group said in a statement. The crowdfunding campaign prompted donations from more than 1,500 anonymous donors across the country, many of them leaving messages of support for Mangione, including one person who called themselves "A frustrated citizen" and thanked Mangione for "sparking the awareness and thought across this sleeping nation." The GiveSendGo fund for Mangione appeared to be briefly taken down before it was restored on Thursday. GiveSendGo did not immediately respond to ABC News' requests for comment. Other crowdfunding sites such as GoFundMe have also taken down campaigns soliciting donations for Mangione's defense. "GoFundMe's Terms of Service prohibit fundraisers for the legal defense of violent crimes," the crowdfunding website said in a statement. "The fundraisers have been removed from our platform and all donors have been refunded." Amazon and Etsy have removed from their websites merchandise featuring Mangione, including T-shirts and tote bags reading "Free Luigi" and the phrase "Deny, Defend, Depose," words police said were etched in the shell casings discovered at the scene of Thompson's homicide. "Celebrating this conduct is abhorrent to me. It's deeply disturbing," Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg told ABC News senior investigative reporter Aaron Katersky in an interview Wednesday night. "And what I would say to members of the public, people who as you described are celebrating this and maybe contemplating other action, that we will be vigilant and we will hold people accountable. We are at the ready." Prosecutors at the Manhattan district attorney's office have begun presenting evidence to a grand jury as they work to try to secure an indictment against Mangione, sources told ABC News on Thursday. Mangione's attorney, Thomas Dickey of Altoona, Pennsylvania, where Mangione was arrested Monday following a five-day manhunt, said his client is presumed innocent and will plead not guilty to any charges filed against him. Mangione is contesting extradition to New York. Asked about people contributing to Mangione defense funds that have popped up, Dickey said, "People are entitled to their opinion and, like I said, if you're an American and you believe in the American criminal justice system, you have to presume him to be innocent and none of us would want anything other than that if that were us in their shoes. So, I'm glad he had some support." But law enforcement officials have expressed concern that Mangione is being turned into a martyr. Someone this week pasted "wanted posters" outside the New York Stock Exchange naming other executives. A bulletin released Wednesday by the Delaware Valley Intelligence Center, a multi-agency law enforcement intelligence-sharing network based in Philadelphia, included a photo of a banner hanging from an overpass reading, "Deny, Defend, Depose." "Many social media users have outright advocated for the continued killings of CEOs with some aiming to spread fear by posting 'hit lists,'" the bulletin, obtained by ABC News, reads. Meanwhile, New York Police Department investigators continue to build a murder case against Mangione, who is being held in Pennsylvania on charges stemming from his arrest there, including illegal possession of ghost gun and fraudulent identification. Mangione has pleaded not guilty to the charges in Pennsylvania. On Wednesday, NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said that the three shell casings recovered at the scene of Thompson's shooting matched the gun found in Mangione possession when he was arrested. She also confirmed that Mangione's fingerprints were recovered from a water bottle and the wrapper of a granola bar found near the crime scene.Acrylic Rubber Market 2024-2033: Global Outlook, Business Statistics, Latest Trends And Major Players 11-23-2024 01:13 PM CET | Advertising, Media Consulting, Marketing Research Press release from: The Business Research Company Acrylic Rubber Market Share The Business Research Company recently released a comprehensive report on the Global Acrylic Rubber Market Size and Trends Analysis with Forecast 2024-2033.

Get The Complete Scope Of The Report @ https://www.thebusinessresearchcompany.com/report/acrylic-rubber-global-market-report Market Drivers and Trends: Increasing automobile production is expected to propel the growth of the acrylic rubber market. Automobiles refer to self-propelled motor vehicles, including cars, trucks, motorcycles, and others, designed for road transportation. Automotive production refers to transforming basic materials to create motor vehicles and the parts that go into making them. Acrylic rubber products are widely used in automobile components such as transmissions, bearing seals, and O-rings for their heat- and oil-resistant properties. Thus, the increasing automobile production is boosting the sales of acrylic rubber products. For instance, in 2021, according to the European Automobile Manufacturers' Association (ACEA), a Belgium-based automobile trade association, the world motor vehicle production volume reached 79.1 million units, an increase of 1.3% compared to 2020. Additionally, in March 2023, according to the US Federal Reserve, a US-based central banking system, 1.87 million autos were produced in the US, increasing from 1.71 million in February 2023. As a result, increasing automobile production is driving the growth of the acrylic rubber market. Product innovations are a key trend gaining popularity in the acrylic rubber market. Major companies operating in the acrylic rubber market are introducing innovative products to sustain their position in the market. For instance, in September 2023, BASF SE, a Germany-based manufacturer of chemicals, launched 2-Octyl Acrylate (2-OA), a bio-based acrylic monomer. OA is produced using 2-Octanol, a bio-based feedstock derived from castor oil. This provides a renewable and sustainable alternative to fossil-based resources. BASF's 2-OA is certified as 73% 14C-tracable bio-based content according to the ISO 16620 standard.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Will Howard passed for two touchdowns and rushed for another, TreVeyon Henderson ran for a score, and No. 2 Ohio State beat previously undefeated No. 5 Indiana 38-15 on Saturday. All Ohio State (10-1, 7-1) has to do now is beat Michigan at home next Saturday and it will earn a return to the Big Ten championship game for the first time since 2020 and get a rematch with No. 1 Oregon. The Ducks beat Ohio State 32-31 in a wild one back on Oct. 12. The Hoosiers (10-1, 7-1) had their best chance to beat the Buckeyes for the first time since 1988 but were hurt by special teams mistakes and disrupted by an Ohio State defense that sacked quarterback Kurtis Rourke five times. Howard finished 22 for 26 for 201 yards. Emeka Egbuka had seven catches for 80 yards and a TD. NO. 25 ILLINOIS 38, RUTGERS 31: Luke Altmyer found Pat Bryant for a catch-and-run, 40-yard touchdown pass with 4 seconds left, sending Illinois to a wild road victory over Rutgers. Illinois (8-3, 5-3) was down 31-30 when it sent long kicker Ethan Moczulski out for a desperation 58-yard field goal with 14 seconds to go. Rutgers (6-5, 3-5) coach Greg Schiano then called for a timeout right before Moczulski’s attempt was wide left and about 15 yards short. After the missed field goal was waved off by the timeout, Illinois coach Bret Bielema sent his offense back on the field. Altmyer hit Bryant on an in cut on the left side at the 22, and he continued across the field and scored untouched in a game that featured three lead changes in the final 3:07. IOWA 29, MARYLAND 13: Kaleb Johnson rushed for 164 yards and a touchdown on a career-high 35 carries, and Kamari Moulton scored on a 68-yard run in the fourth quarter to help Iowa outlast Maryland in College Park. Johnson scored from 2 yards out in the second quarter for his 21st rushing touchdown of the season, and the Hawkeyes (7-4, 5-3) rebounded from their loss to UCLA in their previous game. Maryland (4-7, 1-7) needed to win its final two regular-season games to reach six wins and bowl eligibility, but the Terrapins were dominated in the first half and eventually fell behind 16-0. Drew Stevens made five field goals for Iowa, including kicks from 54 yards in the second quarter, then 50 and 49 in the third. LATE FRIDAY MICHIGAN STATE 24, PURDUE 17: Aidan Chiles threw for two scores in the first half to build a three-touchdown lead and Michigan State (5-6, 3-5) held on to beat Purdue (1-10, 0-8) at home. The Spartans are a win away from being eligible for a bowl with first-year coach Jonathan Smith and they play Rutgers at home in the final regular-season game.

The Seagulls are sitting in fifth spot in the Women's Super League table , while Spurs are six points further back in sixth position. Last weekend, Brighton dropped from third to fifth position after falling to a 4-2 defeat in their away meeting with reigning WSL champions Chelsea. Jelena Cankovic scored against her former club to have the deficit following two Chelsea goals, before Kiko Seike found the net to set up an exciting finale after Johanna Rytting Kaneryd had restored her team's two-goal cushion. Unfortunately for the Seagulls, their hopes of salvaging a point were quashed by Sjoeke Nusken 's stoppage-time effort, condemning them to their third away defeat of the season. While they would have been disappointed with the defeat, Brighton will still be pleased with their overall efforts this season, having collected 16 points from nine league matches, leaving them just three points adrift of their total points tally from the 2023-24 campaign. The Seagulls have also enjoyed success in the Women's League Cup, including a dominant 6-2 home win over Bristol City on Wednesday to seal top spot in their group and a place in the quarter-finals. They will now turn their focus back to league action, with Brighton looking to maintain their unbeaten home record in the WSL after winning four and drawing one of their five home games in the top flight this season. Like their hosts, Spurs will also be in the Women's League Cup quarter-finals after they beat Crystal Palace in midweek to seal top spot in Group E. Matilda Vinberg and Araya Dennis grabbed a goal apiece in the second half to fire Robert Vilahamn 's side to a 2-0 away victory. That result represented a third consecutive win in all competitions after Spurs previously beat Aston Villa and Everton in the Women's League Cup and WSL respectively. Tottenham claimed a 2-1 victory over the Toffees last weekend to make it three wins in five league games - a significant contrast to their poor form on the road. In fact, Spurs are one of five teams yet to win a WSL away game this season, having taken just one point from their four away league matches in 2024-25. Tottenham have shipped more away goals than any other team in the WSL with 14 goals conceded, highlighting a key area for improvement if they are to spark an upturn in fortunes on their travels. Brighton boss Dario Vidosic is unable to call upon the injured quartet of Maria Thorisdottir , Maisie Symonds , Aisha Masaka and Fran Kirby . After making some changes in midweek, Vidosic could recall Sophie Baggaley , Cankovic and Seike for Saturday's league fixture. Nikita Parris will also come back into the starting lineup, with the striker looking to add to the five competitive goals she has scored this season. As for the visitors, Ella Morris recently joined Kit Graham on the sidelines after she sustained a knee injury while away with the England Under-23 squad. Goalkeeper Rebecca Spencer will have to be assessed after being absent from the last two matchday squads due to illness. Maite Oroz could make her first league start since returning from injury after gaining valuable minutes in Tottenham's last two matches. Brighton & Hove Albion Women possible starting lineup: Baggaley; McLauchlan, Bergsvand, Carabali; Olislagers, Cankovic, Losada, Pattison; Seike, Vilamala; Parris Tottenham Hotspur Women possible starting lineup: Heeps; Neville, Hunt, Bartrip, Nilden; Oroz, Summanen; Raso, Spence, Naz; England Brighton have won four of their five home league games this season, and while they will be tested by Tottenham this weekend, we think they will make full use of home advantage to end the calendar year with a narrow victory.

Palantir Stock Is Hot, But Don't Chase It Now, Says Analyst
Over nine days, rangatahi and veterans of past hīkoi walked shoulder-to-shoulder to take their message to Parliament. Ella Stewart and Cole Eastham-Farrelly were there. The sun had just peeked over the wharenui at Te Kamaka Marae as Rangimarie Te Whenua, Chelsea Reti, and Jo Murray clustered in the car park to prepare for the day ahead. The three wāhine stayed on Auckland's North Shore the night before, but they didn't get much sleep surrounded by the chorus of snoring in the wharenui. It would get hot later on but for now the morning was still cool. Chelsea had a hoodie on for warmth, while Murray wore a red scarf over her shoulders, adorned with various pins. Around her neck hung a taonga puoro (Māori musical instrument). The t-shirt she wore showed the iconic image of Dame Whina Cooper walking hand-in-hand with her three-year-old mokopuna as she set off from the Far North in 1975. Underneath the image were Dame Whina's words: "Not one acre more". Nearly 50 years later, Rangimarie, 16, and Chelsea, 15, and Murray - Rangimarie's māmā - were embarking on a similar journey. Starting at the northernmost tip of Aotearoa, under the mist of a spring morning, they gathered. "I timata ake i Te Rerenga Wairua, (it started at Te Rerenga Wairua), we were all there around four o'clock yesterday morning. Our whole iwi, all the iwi were there, gathering," Rangimarie said. "Ko ēnei ngā pou e tū ake nei. (These are the pillars taking a stand).". A karakia set the wairua ahead of the nine-day journey to the steps of Parliament. This morning, waiata played from car speakers, adding to the buzz building in the carpark. It was now the third day of the Hīkoi mō te Tiriti, and the gathering marchers were eager to set off. 'Our tūpuna did this, so we shall do this' Organisers had spent nearly a month mapping and planning Hīkoi mō te Tiriti - billed as both a march against the government's policies affecting Māori, and for tino rangatiratanga (sovereignty, self-determination). The hīkoi was the culmination of a year of action, and organisers predicted it would be big. Now a sea of red, white and black travelled the hundreds of kilometres south, surging from rohe to rohe. Everywhere the hīkoi went, tamariki and mokopuna carried a large banner which read 'Toitū te Tiriti' - the Treaty endures. Ahead of the banner, a tall carved wooden pouwhenua flying a white flag was carried, heralding the group. Both were replicas of the pouwhenua and flag that led the 1975 land march. The original kaitiaki of that pou vowed it would never touch the ground until all Māori land claims were settled, and that taonga is now housed in Te Kōngahu Museum of Waitangi today - off the ground. Whilst the hīkoi echoed those of the past, some in Māoridom say the stakes are higher than before. At the centre of concerns is the ACT Party's Treaty Principles Bill , which aims to legally define the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi. Prime Minister Christopher Luxon has repeatedly said the bill will not pass a second reading. But for those joining the hīkoi, the bill had already hurt the Treaty relationship and could undermine decades of progress. It is just one in a series of government policies that have made many Māori uneasy, but also drawn people together. Jo Murray was just a rangatahi herself when she joined the foreshore and seabed hīkoi in 2004. This time, she was marching for her own children. "Ko tētahi o ngā mea nui ki au, ko tō tatou nei tamariki, mokopuna, tēnei hīkoi." (One of the most important things to me about this hīkoi is our children, our mokopuna.) "It's been pretty powerful even going through the small townships. We're just a small rōpū but the purpose is bigger than us." The three wāhine were part of a smaller core group who travelled the whole way from the top to the bottom. Those joining in often rearranged their lives to take part. Rangimarie Te Whenua and Chelsea Reti had to shift their NCEA exams. "We had to pātai to our school, 'Can we move this test to Auckland?' So we can do it on this day and still be a part of our hīkoi. We've tried to make sacrifices to be here because this is important to our whānau and that makes it important to us," Chelsea said. Although Murray marched in 2004, she did not count herself as one of the "veteran hīkoi whānau" among their group. "We need to have more of our younger ones ready to step into that space. Our older ones are offering their guidance and their mātauranga to our young ones to be able to support." Why go the whole way? For Chelsea, it was to tautoko the kaumatua. "We've got 70-year-old nannies who can lead this whole hīkoi, who can karanga the whole time - why can't we jump in?" For Rangimarie, it was for both her mum and future generations. "Our tūpuna did this, so we shall do this. As for Whina Cooper, ka tikina i ōna kōrero, (we take her saying): 'Not one acre more'. We're really just doing this so our mokopuna won't have to do this and that will be it." A modern hīkoi The hīkoi was markedly different to its predecessors in how it was carried out. Instead of taking a month to travel from Te Tai Tokerau to Wellington, participants opted to drive long distances, with events and marches planned in major towns and cities. On day two, the hīkoi made a detour to visit Dargaville, to protest Kaipara District Council's decision to remove Māori wards and karakia from meetings. In Selwyn Park, Pākehā couple Lucy Hoult and Matt Watson had made the one-hour drive from Mangawhai to attend. Both wore t-shirts that read 'Tangata Tiriti', or people of the Treaty - a term used to describe non-Māori. Hoult's voice broke as she spoke. "I just feel so angry that it's such a one-sided conversation that's happened so far. I think it's disingenuous. I just feel really upset." "We're here because of the Treaty," she said. "We've been really proud of the change of direction in recent times, and to see that potentially reversed is just quite heartbreaking." Watson said ACT Party leader David Seymour's actions were divisive. "The more I learn about the Treaty, the more I see it as a uniting thing for our country." For many, the hīkoi was not just a protest; it was also an expression of mana and identity. At each stop along the way, tikanga guided the journey. Through karanga, karakia and whaikōrero, the group was welcomed by mana whenua wherever they went. Every pōwhiri was a moment of connection. In Te Tai Tokerau, kuia stood barefoot with their feet planted firmly in the grass. Draped in Tino Rangatiratanga flags, their hands quivered as they called the hīkoi on to the whenua. Arriving at Auckland's North Shore, a line of manuhiri (visitors) stretched from the door of the wharekai onto the nearby field as whānau with sore feet and tired legs waited for hāngī. Kaumatua sat on chairs, while rangatahi sat on the ground beside them. Then on day three, the hīkoi descended on Tāmaki Makaurau. The weather had turned, and scattered rain and strong gusts of wind blew people's hats off. The Harbour Bridge swayed and shook under the feet of an estimated 10,000 people as they made their way across. Ngātiwai leader Aperahama Edwards walked solemnly at the front of the group. He wore a traditional pākē harakeke (Māori rain cape), used for both protection and shelter. Alongside him walked Te Pāti Māori co-leader, Rawiri Waititi, and Waititi's wife, Kiri Tamihere-Waititi, who was one of the organisers of the march. She felt bittersweet at the sights of Auckland appearing through the drizzle. "I want to cry. You can hear all of our whānau behind us. We've got all of our babies here, and it's for them. "We've been so traumatised as a people, and it's really hard to see, it's really hard to feel, and it's really hard to endure." The movement that grew As the hīkoi travelled, it grew. It marched through Kirikiriroa-Hamilton to Rotorua, Hastings, Palmerston North, and Porirua. In each place, thousands more turned up. On the eve of the hīkoi's arrival at Parliament, the group paused to wānanga, make signs and prepare. Aperahama Edwards followed the hīkoi the whole way to Parliament. In Pōneke, he reflected on what he said were an unforgettable nine days. "Every day we've observed and experienced the sharing, generosity and aroha of Aotearoa. As we've travelled, that's been a consistent observation. And the outcry, the passion and the unity of purpose, in terms of bringing something honourable back to our country," he said. "Honouring Te Tiriti o Waitangi, our founding document and the place of tangata whenua in Aotearoa is important. It's been heartwarming to see from outside of te ao Māori, standing alongside our people." After regrouping on Wellington's waterfront, the hīkoi arrived at Parliament . Organisers expected large numbers to show up in support, but almost no one anticipated the true scale of the crowd. People filled the forecourt, overflowing into nearby streets. Some even climbed the large pōhutakawa trees on Parliament's lawn. Aunties wearing their kaupapa hats stood next to tamariki on their dads' shoulders and in strollers. At the start of the hīkoi, organiser Eru Kapa-Kingi was clean-shaven, but was sporting nine days of stubble by the time he took the stage. Visibly tired but still energetic, he was in awe as he looked out at the crowd. "Look at this," he told them. "What a moment this is. What a response this is. I'm proud of every single one of you, for stepping up today. Standing in this mana and standing in this moment." For Kapa-Kingi and the other organisers, the movement had become much bigger than them. A petition asking the government to "kill the bill" had racked up 200,000 signatures by the time it was delivered to Parliament, and continued to attract more online. The hīkoi in 2004 gave rise to a new political party, Te Pāti Māori. Kapa-Kingi's words to the crowd suggested the ripples of this hīkoi could be just as profound. "It's up to us whether this moment dissipates after today, or whether it lives forever," he said. "We must make this moment live forever. Toitū te Tiriti ki te ake ake. Te Tiriti is forever."

Intended for use inside the cockpits of European automakers, these designs are scheduled for mass production in 2025. ROHM and Telechips have been engaged in technical exchanges since 2021, fostering a close collaborative relationship from the early stages of SoC chip design. As a first step in achieving this goal, ROHM’s power supply solutions have been integrated into Telechips’ power supply reference designs. These solutions support diverse model development by combining sub-PMICs and DrMOS with the main PMIC for SoCs. For infotainment applications, the Dolphin3 application processor (AP) power reference design includes the BD96801Qxx-C main PMIC for SoCs. Similarly, the Dolphin5 AP power reference design developed for next-generation digital cockpits combines the BD96805Qxx-C and BD96811Fxx-C main PMICs for SoC with the BD96806Qxx-C sub-PMIC for SoC, improving overall system efficiency and reliability. Modern cockpits are equipped with multiple displays, such as instrument clusters and infotainment systems, with each automotive application becoming increasingly multifunctional. As the processing power required for automotive SoCs increases, power ICs like PMICs must be able to support high currents while maintaining high efficiency. At the same time, manufacturers require flexible solutions that can accommodate different vehicle types and model variations with minimal circuit modifications. ROHM SoC PMICs address these challenges with high efficiency operation and internal memory (One Time Programmable ROM) that allows for custom output voltage settings and sequence control, enabling compatibility with large currents when paired with a sub-PMIC or DrMOS. Moonsoo Kim, Senior Vice President and Head of System Semiconductor R&D Center, Telechips Inc. “Telechips offers reference designs and core technologies centered around automotive SoCs for next-generation ADAS and cockpit applications. We are pleased to have developed a power reference design that supports the advanced features and larger displays found in next-generation cockpits by utilizing power solutions from ROHM, a global semiconductor manufacturer. Leveraging ROHM’s power supply solutions allows these reference designs to achieve advanced functionality while maintaining low power consumption. ROHM power solutions are highly scalable, so we look forward to future model expansions and continued collaboration.” Sumihiro Takashima, Corporate Officer and Director of the LSI Business Unit, ROHM Co., Ltd. “We are pleased that our power reference designs have been adopted by Telechips, a company with a strong track record in automotive SoCs. As ADAS continues to evolve and cockpits become more multifunctional, power supply ICs must handle larger currents while minimizing current consumption. ROHM SoC PMICs meet the high current demands of next-generation cockpits by adding a DrMOS or sub-PMIC in the stage after the main PMIC. This setup achieves high efficiency operation that contributes to lower power consumption. Going forward, ROHM will continue our partnership with Telechips to deepen our understanding of next-generation cockpits and ADAS, driving further evolution in the automotive sector through rapid product development.” Telechips SoC [Dolphin Series] The Dolphin series consists of automotive SoCs tailored to In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI), Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), and Autonomous Driving (AD) applications.
