The GaN devices market for power electronics application will explode in 2016, reaching $300m in 2020, announces Yole Développement (Yole) in its latest power electronic report, titledGaN and SiC devices for power electronics applications (July 2015).

A pre-certified self test library for Atmel Corporation’s SAM D2x microcontrollers has been published by Hitex. The library helps manufacturers achieve compliance with safety standards for household appliances which mostly require the class B cerfication level. According to the IEC 60335 and IEC 60730 standards a microcontroller-based device has continuously to prove reliable operation.

Avalue Technology has introduced the SLP-SKL, the EMX-Q170 and the EAX-Q170, which are based on the 6th generation Intel Core processor family. The 6th generation Intel Core processor family (codename Skylake) is a brand new micro-architecture built on Intel's 14nm manufacturing process. The family offers dramatically higher CPU and graphics performance, a wide range of power and feature scalability, and new advanced features that boost IoT desig...

A new device to help tackle sleep apnea has claimed first prize in the ARM Smart Product Design Competition. The Apnea Observer was designed by developer Clemente di Caprio from Rome, Italy, who has been awarded $5,000 to help advance his prototype. Sleep apnea affects up to a quarter of the general population, according to the British Journal of Anaesthesia, with 90% of sufferers remaining undiagnosed. If left untreated, this chronic sleep condi...

Infineon has announced that it has shipped its ten millionth high-frequency radar chip. The77GHz chipsare used inradar-based driver assistance systemsthat recognise objects at ranges of up to 250m. Infineon estimates that in the year 2014 nearly 50% of 77GHz radar systems in vehicles were equipped with Infineon technology.

Industrial automation, medical equipment, electronic components – plagiarism of capital equipment requires effective prevention, such as embedded security solutions from Infineon. According to the OECD, counterfeiting and piracy costs add up to around $638bn annually. The OPTIGA Trust E offers an easily implementable solution to protect manufacturers’ valuable IP from being attacked, analysed, copied and modified.

Infineon has launched a family of StrongIRFET MOSFETs for DC powered circuits including battery powered circuits, brushed and BDLC motor drives. The MOSFETs offer efficiency for end applications such aspowerandgardening tools,light EVs, UAVs ande-bikesthat demand a high level of energy efficiency but are restricted in available space. This is made possible by the compact Medium Can DirectFET housing featuring a revised layout.

In a competitive landscape, Yole Développement points out the serenity of the Wide Band Gap (WBG) market and the confidence of its players: WBG companies are slowly but surely reshaping the industry and accelerate the market adoption with numerous strategic mergers and acquisitions (Cree, Infineon Technologies…) and the development of disruptive solutions.In its latest technology and market analysis, 'GaN & SiC for power electro...

Altium has announced a free embedded software development toolset for Infineon’s TriCore/AURIX product line as part of their strategic partnership. This toolset was developed as part of a major update to the TASKING compiler for TriCore/AURIX, which adds a number of latest features and enhancements for advanced automotive application development. The Lite Edition of the TASKING VX-toolset for TriCore includes a one year license and can be r...
