Every fifth kWh of electricity around the world is used for artificial light. LED technology is making significant savings possible. About 13m tons of CO2could be saved in Germany alone, equaling the emissions of about 7m cars, and office electricity bills could be reduced by more than €500m. But how can introducing the technology be made easier for industry and end users?

IAR Systems has released an updated version of the functional safety edition of theIAR Embedded Workbench, a complete embedded development toolchain for ARM. The build chain of IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM is certified by TÜV SÜD as a qualified tool for the development of safety-related applications.

The high-frequency radar chip team at Infineon has been nominated for the Deutscher Zukunftspreis 2015 (German Future Award), the German President's Award for Innovation in Science and Technology. Radar systems in cars make a major contribution to improving road safety, measuring distance and speed in relation to other vehicles in order to give drivers early warning and trigger braking in emergencies.

Throughout Europe 25,700 people were killed on the roads last year – an average of 70 traffic fatalities a day. Most of these accidents happened because the motorists weren’t paying attention. A system has been designed to assist the driver and significantly reduce the number of accidents. At the 2015 International Motor Show (IAA), Kostal presents a camera-based ADAS with know-how from Infineon.

Infineon Technologies has announced that it is the world market leader in power semiconductors for the twelfth consecutive time. After acquiring International Rectifier at the beginning of the year, Infineon's 19.2% market share now makes it the clear market leader. In comparison, both companies’ market share in 2013 summed up to approximately 17.5%, according to the results of a 2014 study by the US market research instituteIHS.

Infineon Technologies has introduced the first devices in a family of Gallium Nitride on Silicon Carbide (GaN-on-SiC) RF power transistors at this year's European Microwave Week. As part of Infineon’s GaN portfolio, the devices allow manufacturers of mobile base stations to build smaller, more powerful and more flexible transmitters.

The German Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Energy Sigmar Gabriel recently visited Infineon Technologies Dresden GmbH. He was accompanied by Martin Dulig, the Saxon State Minister for Economic Affairs, Labour and Transport, and Iris Gleicke, Parliamentary State Secretary and German Federal Government Commissioner for the New Federal States.

Seven months before PCIM Europe 2016 starts, the outlook for success concerning the international leading exhibition for power electronics, intelligent motion, renewable energy and energy management, is very promising: The number of exhibitors, as well as the booked exhibition area, are clearly exceeding the previous year’s level. This emphasises the great importance of the event as the leading knowledge platform within the power electronic...

DIY tools such as cordless drills and saws have to be handy and durable. Therefore, the electronic components used in the applications need to be space-saving and rugged. Infineon has extended its StrongIRFET Power MOSFET family, providing a solution that fulfills both requirements. The Logic Level StrongIRFETs can be driven directly from a MCU, saving space and cutting costs.

The free Power & Sensorstechnical forums for engineers, organised by Motiv8 Forums, will be staged in Cambridge, Thursday 15thOctober at the Moller Centre, and in Oxford, Tuesday 20thOctober,at the Williams F1 Conference in Grove. Delegates at both Forums will have the chance to win an Apple Watch. These technical gatherings arefree to attend, and include parking, wifi, breakfast, lunch and refreshments.
