VectorCAST, version 6.4 – the most advanced test automation platform for C/C++ and Ada software development will be showcased at Embedded World in Nuremberg (Feb23-25). Vector Software’s VectorCAST 6.4 includes a host of new features and enhancements in data aggregation, reporting, usability, and tool integration.

Infineon Technologies expands its µHVIC family of integrated circuits for high and low voltage: the single channel low-side drivers IR44252L, IR44272L and IR44273L enable robust and cost effective design solutions. The device family utilises Infineon’s proven, robust high voltage junction isolation (HVJI) technology to realise multiple functions and integrate robust protection features.

Infineon Technologies provides the embedded Secure Element (eSE) chip for all Samsung Gear S2 models. The chip safeguards users’ sensitive data and supports secured contactless payment transactions based on NFC technology. The Gear S2 comes with a unique rotating bezel and works with a variety of phones running Android 4.4 or later. The 3G version adds stand-alone functions and built-in GPS using its own 3G cellular connection.

PLS Programmierbare Logik & Systeme has not only expanded the latest version of its Universal Debug Engine (UDE) with a number of additional trace and debugging functions, but has also added completely new features for test automation.

Further advancing the development of Functional Safety industrial applications Infineon Technologies has announced the availability of the Safety Package for the XMC4000 family of 32-bit MCUs. The XMC4000 Safety Package helps to develop TÜV-certified automation systems that conform with Safety Integrity Levels SIL2 and SIL3.

The 2EDN7524 EiceDRIVER ICs from Infineon Technologies have been launched for the PFC, LLC and synchronous rectification stages of switch mode power supplies.Enhancing the existing EiceDRIVER family, the 2EDN family is the link between control ICs and MOSFET, e.g. CoolMOS C7, as well as GaN switching devices. The 2EDN MOSFET driver IC enables high system level efficiencies, power density and consistent system robustness.

The December forecast from Semiconductor Equipment and Materials International (SEMI), revealed that shipments of semiconductor wafer fab equipment are expected to grow 2.5% in 2016 after 0.5% growth in 2015. However, Gartner is more pessimistic, with its October forecast calling for fab equipment to decline 0.5% in 2015 and drop 2.5% in 2016. Gartner projects the market will return to growth in 2017 through 2019.

Infineon Technologies increases performance and security of contactless payment transactions. The SLC 32P family of security controllers speeds up data handling by the factor of 15. It enables manufacturers of payment cards, wearables and proximity devices such as tokens to meet requirements mandated by MasterCard from January 2016 onwards.

Infineon Technologies has announced that it supplies the embedded Secure Element (eSE) chip for the latest Lenovo smartphones. Besides the Lenovo Vibe P1 introduced at the IFA 2015, Infineon’s security controllers are also used in the Lenovo Vibe X3. These security chips offer protection of security-critical functionalities of the mobile device.
