Infineon has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the Wolfspeed Power and RF division (“Wolfspeed”) of Cree. The deal also includes the related SiC wafer substrate business for power and RF power. The purchase price for this planned all-cash transaction is $850m (approximately €740m). This acquisition will enable Infineon to provide the broadest offering in compound semiconductors and will further strengthen Infineon as...

An EPCOS DC link capacitor that has been specifically designed for the HybridPACK 1-DC6 IGBT module from Infineon Technologies has been presented byTDK Corporation. The outstanding features of this component are the six busbar terminals with dimensions that are matched precisely to fit the IGBT module. This multiple contacting produces an excellent current capability while at the same time offering very low parasitics.

What strategy will other power electronics companies adopt in response to Infineon Technologies? Do they have to make strategic technical choices? Will we see new collaborations, mergers or acquisitions in the near future? According to Yole’s analysts, it’s likely we will.Last week, Infineon Technologies’ acquisition of Wolfspeed for $850m in cash made lots of noise in the compound semiconductor world.

Infineon Technologies takes an active role in the development of European-level cybersecurity guidelines. The European Commission has signed the contract for a Public-Private-Partnership (PPP) with the European Cyber Security Organisation (ECSO) ASBL. Representing the private sector, ECSO will work directly with the European Commission to improve Europe’s industrial policy on cybersecurity.

By the end of 2016, more than half of all new automotive 77GHz radar systems worldwide will be equipped with chips from Infineon Technologies. Statistically speaking, that means around one in 15 new cars will use a driver assistance system with 77GHz radar chips from Infineon.

Aimed for use with Synopsys Virtualizer Development Kits (VDKs), a new model for Infineon’s latest TriCore architecture, TriCore 1.6.2, has been announced by Synosys.

Expanding the company's product offering for SMPS applications, Infineon announces the IR1161L and IR11688S Secondary Synchronous Rectification (SSR) controller ICs.

Online applications on mobile devices require new methods of secured log-in. The FIDO (Fast IDentity Online) Alliance has developed security standards for strong authentication that are simple to use and protect more efficiently from fraud. Infineon Technologies has announced the first FIDO-certified BLE reference design for wireless authentication tokens.

Currently a hot topic in automotive development is Cyber Security. The increasing connectivity between vehicles and infrastructure and open interfaces require rigorous risk management, continuous quality assurance, and a systematic development process.

Infineon's new 650V Rapid 1 and Rapid 2 hyperfast diodes (IDP_, IDV_ and IDW_ series) are the perfect partners for CoolMOS™ MOSFETs or such discrete IGBTs as Infineon's Trenchstop™ 5. They offer outstanding value for money in AC/DC topologies like PFC, as well as for use as free-wheeling diodes in DC/DC topologies.
