Research to strengthen European power electronics industry
The three-year “eRamp” project, led by Infineon Technologies, has been launched to strengthen and expand Germany and Europe as centres of expertise for the manufacture of power electronics. Focused on energy efficiency, 26 research partners from six countries are participating in the €55m project.
Hardware-based solution secures connected electronics
Improving the security of electronic devices in connected systems, OPTIGA Trust P is a programmable hardware-based solution from Infineon Technologies. This provides robust device authentication, protects computing systems from both intentional attacks and accidental damage from user error, and enhances security and privacy of stored data.
Research reduces components required for induction stoves
The "InduKOCH" research project has been completed by E.G.O. Group, the University of Bremen's Institute for Electrical Drives, Power Electronics and Devices (IALB), and Infineon Technologies, who headed the project. The three-year research project has reduced the number of components that induction stoves require, making them more affordable and more energy efficient.
700W L-Band RF power transistor reduces part counts
Lowering part counts to reduce system cost, improve reliability and maintain high ruggedness, a 700W L-Band RF power transistor has been introduced by Infineon Technologies. The company has claimed that the PTVA127002EV features the industry'shighest L-Band output power (700W) available for radar systems operating in the 1200-1400MHz frequency range.
