Frequently Asked Questions

The Smart Building & City System Solution Guides include E-bike and E-scooter, Heat Pumps, and Security and Portable Camera. 

Across this portfolio, onsemi describes a smart building as a secure, scalable connectivity fabric that links sensors, actuators, power electronics, and IoT edge devices to support automation, remote diagnostics, and real-time optimization of lighting, HVAC, access control, appliances, and connected loads.

Within the guide, the traction stage is identified as the most important part of the solution and is built around the inverter, gate drivers, and sensing components, while battery protection and low-voltage power conversion are also highlighted as key elements.

Safe operation is a core design requirement, battery protection is emphasized in the e-bike and e-scooter guide alongside battery management, charging safety, and reliable low-voltage power regulation. 

By transferring heat with an inverter-driven compressor, these systems provide both heating and cooling and can help optimize building energy use. onsemi also describes heat pumps as a key component of smart-building energy systems that can respond to occupancy data, weather forecasts, and IoT control.

Across heat pump architectures, onsemi highlights devices such as Si MOSFETs, IGBTs, SiC MOSFETs, Intelligent Power Modules (IPMs), Power Integrated Modules (PIMs), gate drivers, PFC controllers, and current or temperature sensors.

For these systems, onsemi emphasizes high dynamic range, low-light sensitivity, low noise, high frame rates, efficient power use, and scalable sensor integration as the core features needed for dependable monitoring and portable imaging.

According to the system guide preview, security and surveillance camera systems can be powered by AC, Power over Ethernet (PoE), or batteries, while portable camera systems are shown as battery-powered architectures.

By improving image performance in complex or changing lighting, HDR helps maintain visibility and image integrity in demanding surveillance scenes such as city monitoring, traffic analytics, and 24/7 situational awareness. onsemi specifically positions Hyperlux LH for high dynamic range applications and notes eHDR performance up to 120 dB.

Through block diagrams, recommended products, practical design advice, and broader system-level guidance, these guides help simplify design decisions and accelerate project development across connected building and city applications.
