Today at the Applied Power Electronics Conference & Exposition (APEC) 2013, Infineon Technologies introduced the highly efficient, fast recovery 650V 650V Rapid 1 and Rapid 2 silicon diode families. Combining Infineon’s ultrathin wafer manufacturing expertise for a low loss vertical structure plus unique cell design, the Rapid diodes provide outstanding performance.

HCC today announced the launch of an online tool to help engineers define their technical objectives and quickly generate a customized embedded project. The ‘build-to-order’ online tool allows engineers to describe all important technical aspects of a project including MCU, development board, RTOS, compiler, peripherals, flash memory etc.

Infineon and Bundesdruckerei have developed a new security smart card with an LED display and a one-time password. This new technology is centred around a security chip in the card which generates a one-time password for each transaction and displays this on the integrated LED display. Requesting the one-time password in addition to the static password boosts the security of authentication and payment applications and protects against attacks on ...

At the Embedded World Exhibition & Conference 2013, Infineon Technologies presents samples of its new XMC1000 industrial 32-bit microcontroller family which provides system designers with strong incentive to switch from 8 to 32 bit MCU architecture. With XMC1000, Infineon offers a fully-featured 32-bit alternative for hitherto 8-bit users by combining the ARM Cortex-M0 processor core with powerful peripherals, high productivity design tools and c...

Infineon Technologies has achieved a major breakthrough in the manufacturing of power semiconductors on 300-millimeter thin wafers. In February, the company received the first customer go-aheads for products of the CoolMOS family produced by the 300-millimeter line at the Villach (Austria) site. The production process based on the new technology has completed qualification from start to finish and customers have given the go-ahead.

Infineon Technologies introduces two new 60V DC/DC LED drivers that offer excellent power conversion efficiency, benchmark current accuracy that helps assure constant light output, and first-in-the-industry adjustable over-temperature protection that protects light elements from damage through overheating. The new ILD6070/ILD6150 drivers give lighting manufacturers the flexibility to produce multiple products using the same drivers, based on wide...

Infineon Technologies introduce its innovative 'Coil on Module' chip package for Dual Interface bank and credit cards. Dual Interface cards, which are used for both contact-based and contactless applications, are a fast growing segment of the global payments industry. The new 'Coil on Module' package combines a security chip and antenna that makes a radio frequency connection to the antenna embedded on the plastic payment card.

Next month, IC Insights’ April Update to The 2013 McClean Report will show a ranking of the 2012 top-50 semiconductor suppliers; a preview of the top-25 companies is listed in Figure 1.
