Steve Rogerson looks at some of the recent news that may have missed the front page.British start-up Echo has designed a cable for an iPhone that is stronger than the one Apple provides. In fact, so strong is it that it can tow a car, and they sent a video to prove it. My question is why anybody would want a mobile phone cable that strong. Then again, I suppose it might come in handy if you break down somewhere remote. The company is running a cr...

Under the guidance of AUDI, TTTech developed the central platform control unit 'zFAS' integrating various functionalities of ADAS. The ECU also enables comprehensive fusion of sensor data. Microcontrollers from Infineon Technologies safeguard that highest requirements towards computing performance and safety are met.

Designed as a drop-in replacement for its DPAK package, Infineon offers its CoolMOS CE, high voltage MOSFET in a SOT-23 package.It is, says the company, a cost-effective alternative and offers space savings in some designs with low power dissipation. The SOT-223 package, without middle pin, is compatible with a typical DPAK footprint and can be used as a drop-in replacement and targets designs in LED lighting and mobile charger applications.

According to the latest analysis by Semicast Research, NXP was the leading vendor of semiconductors to the OE automotive sector in 2015. Infineon Technologies passed Renesas Electronics to become the second largest vendor, with STMicroelectronics and Texas Instruments completing the top five. Semicast estimates that revenues for OE automotive semiconductors totaled $28.2bn in 2015.

The XMC4700 Relax, Relax Kit for 5V Shields, and Relax Lite evaluation kits from Infineon Technologies are now being shipped by distributor Mouser Electronics. These kits are designed to evaluate the capabilities of the XMC4700 microcontroller and Infineon’s free-of-charge, Eclipse-based integrated development environment (IDE), DAVE.

World Energy Efficiency Day, 5th March, aims to increase public awareness of the misuse of energy and give it the importance it merits. A host of useful ideas for saving energy are circulated for the day each year from simply switching off the light to new efficiency innovations. Infineon Technologies shows how a new technology turns household power guzzlers into true efficiency wonders.

To help shorten ‘time-to-light’, lower component counts and reduce operational and standby power consumption, a multi-mode flyback controller IC for LED applications has been introduced Infineon Technologies.Designed to meet the performance and efficiency demands of mid-range to high end LED designs, the IRS2982S provides a controller solution that can meet the needs of a variety of interior, outdoor, office and industrial lighting sc...
