A communication protocol stack, implemented in firmware, for the KNX standard for the application development of home and building systems has been announced by Avnet Silica. Designed to run on XMC industrial microcontrollers from Infineon Technologies, the new KNX Stack NGS developed by Weinzierl Engineering, delivers a fully certified platform to customers to help them significantly reduce their development time of KNX based products and system...

The automotive industry has long been focussing on the higher efficiency of the combustion engine and electrification of the drivetrain in hybrid and fully electric vehicles to meet CO2emission goals. Now we finally see a tipping point with a greater availability ofSiC (Silicon Carbide) chips that offer extremely low power losses and higher temperature resistance.

RUTRONIK EMBEDDED, RUTRONIK POWER, and RUTRONIK SMART will showcase innovative components and solutions from leading manufacturers at Electronics & Applications 2017 (30th May - 1st June 1) in Utrecht. Displays, storage solutions, boards, peripheral components for industrial applications in IoT, and wireless interfaces for robust applications will be centre stage for RUTRONIK EMBEDDED.

Lighting is a huge consumer of global energy, contributing to around 20% of all the electricity consumed globally. Approximately 80% of that lighting is attributed to professional applications such as building, office, industry or street lighting, and about 20% to private residential lighting.

Infineon Technologies says that it is making the cost-efficient implementation of EtherCAT applications gets even easier – with it’s future- proof and application-optimised ARM-based microcontrollers. The company has released new development kits that help cutting down EtherCAT development time to three months: the XMC4300 Relax EtherCAT Kit and the XMC4800 EtherCAT Automation Kit. Both kits passed the EtherCAT certification test and ...

The notion of smart home has been making headlines for many years, but it’s actually the energy efficiency part where homes are making the most tangible gains through what designers call inverterisation of appliance designs.

Infineon Technologies has expanded its offering of 62 mm IGBT modules. The new power modules serve the growing demand for higher power density without increasing package size. This is realised by a larger chip area and an adapted DCB substrate in the proven 62 mm package. Typical applications for modules with 1200 V blocking voltage are drives, solar inverters and uninterruptible power supply (UPS) as well as medium voltage drives for modules wit...

2016 was the year of strong consolidations in the semiconductor industry and Yole Développement (Yole) highlighted many mergers and acquisitions. “2017 seems to be following the same path”, wrote Jérôme Azemar, Technology & Market Analyst, Advanced Packaging at Yole. Year after year, the advanced packaging industry has attracted more and more of the spotlight.

Electric cars, as Mercedes-Benz Chief Dieter Zetsche puts it, need both convincing vehicles and a comprehensive charging infrastructure. Now, a robust charging network is taking shape in order to galvanise the mass consumer adoption of Electric Vehicles (EVs).

An easy-to-use, fully integrated and highly efficient DC/DC regulator has been introduced byInfineon Technologies. TheIR3883 aims at high density Point of Load applications where high efficiency, high reliability and good thermal behaviour are required. The device is suitable for NetCom, telecom, servers and storage solutions.
