Infineon Technologies has announced that it is working with Google’s Advanced Technology and Projects group (ATAP) to develop a sensing solution. Potential applications include wearables, IoT and automotive applications.

The European Commission is launching three new research projects aimed at making electromobility cheaper, more efficient and more reliable in order to facilitate more environmentally-friendly vehicles on Europe's roads. Europe will be the site for the continued development and production of EVs under these projects, which will run until 2018 and are headed by Infineon Technologies.

SiC (Silicon Carbide) MOSFET modules with blocking voltages of 1,200V and RDSON values as low as 20mΩ, offer a real alternative to 1,200V Si IGBTs in motor drives. John Mookken and Julius Rice, Cree, explore the economics of using the more expensive SiC module with the performance gains and added complexities at the system level.

The next generation of power electronics is taking shape, argues Markus Behet, EpiGaN. The wide-bandgap compound semiconductor material is suited for switching devices that operate at high frequencies without suffering major losses.

Setting a new standard in the Power MOSFET market, Infineon Technologies has extended its medium voltage MOSFET portfolio with OptiMOS 300V. The device helps system designers to increase power density and reduce cost with the highest level of reliability. Ultimately, for the end user, this translates into energy cost savings.

An optically triggered thyristor that can improve the reliability, lower the system cost and simplify the design of ultra-high-power applications has been introduced by Infineon Technologies. The 6” thyristor incorporates reliable optical triggering, eliminating the requirement for an external electrical trigger circuit. In addition, on-board safety features such as overvoltage protection, dv/dt protection and protection against forward vol...

PCIM 2015 will pay host, for the first time in Europe, to the combined power portfolio of Infineon and International Rectifier, in hall 9, booth 412, from 19th to 21st May 2015. The result of Infineon'sstrategic approach, outlined as “from product thinking to system understanding,” the company's range of products includes MOSFETs, IGBTs, GaN devices and speciality materials.

Infineon Technologies has launched a new family of CoolMOS C7 series superjunction MOSFETs. The 600V series offers a 50% reduction in turn-off losses compared to the CoolMOS CP, offering a GaN-like level of performance in PFC, TTF and other hard-switching topologies.

Infineon Technologies is the first company in the world to manufacture automotive power MOSFETs on 300mm thin wafers. The OptiMOS 5 family of power semiconductors, optimised for CO2 reduction applications, is the first group of products to be released on the thin-wafer technology.

At this year's PCIM 2015 trade show Infineon Technologies will launch a new Intelligent Power Module (IPM). The MIPAQ Pro provides an all-in-one solution for a wide spectrum of scalable and compact inverter designs to be implemented in wind, solar and industrial drives applications. The MIPAQ Pro is a fully qualified and tested IPM, integrating IGBTs, gate drivers, the heat sink, sensors, digital control electronics as well as digital bus communi...
