Hermetic hybrid DC/DC converters are rated at 185ºC
The industry’s first hermetic hybrid DC/DC converters rated at 185ºC in a 1” wide package has been introduced by IR HiRel, an Infineon Technologies company.The devices are designed specifically for oil and gas exploration downhole tools and can withstand the high temperature as well as the high shock environment typically found in these applications. As oil and gas are more and more difficult to find, exploration takes place in e...
Industrial mainboards available with 2nd gen AMD G-series SoCs
The Fujitsu D3313-S series of mini-ITX boards are now available in two new AMD Embedded G-series SoC versions. The D3313-S4 with a dual core, 2.2GHz and a cTDP of 10 to 15W and the new D3313-S5 with a quad core, 1.2GHz and a cTDP of 5 to 7W, both use the 2nd gen of AMD G-series SoCs.
Automotive MCU compiler receives major update
Altium has announced the release of a major update to its TASKING compiler for TriCore/AURIX MCUs which power advanced automotive applications. This release supports next-gen Infineon TriCore technologies and enables engineers to begin early development on advanced automotive applications before the AURIX family line is released publicly.
NewP@ss research project to improve passport security
Contactless, multifunctional, fast and secure features are important requirements for next-gen travel documents. The main challenge lies in the combination of security and convenience: travelers should be able to pass through border checkpoints even more quickly and yet securely and citizens would like to access online services offered by public authorities with their smartphones.
'Luftstrom' project to streamline EV battery charging
The “Luftstrom” research project investigates how batteries in EVs can be charged more efficiently. Luftstrom (English: Airstream) will help accelerate the conversion to climate-friendly mobility. Twelve partners in the German automotive sector, its supply industry and the sciences are collaborating on this project for the next three years. The use of new power semiconductors is expected to reduce losses during charging and, ultimatel...
German research project aims for more powerful EV drivetrain
HV-ModAL, a German research project to improve the power ofEV drive trains,aims to create an electric drive train modular system toolbox which is suitable for a wide range of EVs, within three years. Thus, the ten partners from the whole automotive value chain and the sciences intend to further expand the global market position of the German automotive industry in the field of EVs – pure electric, PHEVs and small transport vehicles.
Robust, reliable HVICs suit solar & UPS applications
Infineon Technologies has announced the introduction of a family of rugged, reliable 700V High-Voltage ICs (HVICs) optimised for solar, power supply, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), welding and industrial drive applications. The 700V offering enables designers of high-voltage power stages to simplify their design while making them more robust.
IGBT & freewheeling diode function on a single chip
A 6.5kV power module that features IGBT and freewheeling diode functionality integrated into a single chip has been introduced by Infineon Technologies.This RCDC chip is suitable for modern high-speed trains and high-performance locomotives as well as for future HVDC electric power transmission systems and medium voltage drives used for example in oil, gas and mining industries.
Growth drivers shifting to emerging economies
Global real gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth in 2015 is expected to reach 3.5%, according to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) April 2015 report. 2015 is a slight acceleration of 0.1% points from 3.4% growth in 2014. The IMF projects 2016 global growth of 3.8%, an acceleration of 0.3% points from 2015. The table below shows GDP growth and acceleration/deceleration for advanced economies and emerging/developing economies. Key countries are ...
