Infineon Technologies AG today opened a new facility in China called Infineon Integrated Circuits (Beijing) Co., Ltd., located in the Beijing Economic and Technological Development Area. In addition to sales and marketing, application R&D and central functions, the new entity houses an IGBT stack manufacturing facility and a technical center for automotive solutions. IGBTs (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors) are power semiconductors used to driv...

Whether in the powertrain, in central control units or in body and convenience electronics – there is a constant increase in the proportion of electronic components used in the car. This trend is accompanied by growing complexity of the systems installed, meaning that designers are forever faced with new challenges in the fine tuning. Six partners from all levels of the development chain have now joined forces in a quest to come up with overarc...

Infineon Technologies expands its Automotive power semiconductor lineup with the new 650V CoolMOS CFDA. This is the industry’s first Superjunction MOSFET solution with Integrated Fast Body Diode to meet the highest Automotive qualification standard AEC-Q101. The 650V CoolMOS CFDA is particularly designed for resonant topologies such as battery charging, DC/DC converters and HID (High Intensity Discharge) Lighting, also in hybrid and electric ve...

Giving the medium-sized and compact car category access to the safety and convenience applications of the premium segment and enabling their compliance with the strictest fuel consumption and pollutant emission requirements, Infineon Technologies AG today announced the cost-optimized extension of its successful XC2000 automotive microcontroller portfolio. Enabling 32-bit equivalent performance at 8-bit costs the new 16-bit devices address low-end...

Infineon Technologies AG today announced it has shipped its two billionth sensor and thus belongs amongst the world’s leading providers of semiconductor-based magnetic sensors and pressure sensors. Infineon believes itself to be the world market leader in sensors for example for pressure sensors used in side airbag systems and for magnetic sensors used for wheel speed measurement in anti-lock braking systems, enjoying market shares of around 50...

Express Logic, Inc. celebrates 15 years of successful RTOS business with record product license sales and more than 1.25 billion ThreadX-based product deployments. Led by Broadcom’s and Marvell’s use of ThreadX in wireless networking SoCs, and HP’s use of ThreadX in its market-leading line of inkjet and all-in-one printers, ThreadX consistently ranks among the most widely deployed operating systems for mobile and embedded devices.

Mouser is gearing up to sponsor Chinese Indycar driver Ho-Pin Tung in the Indy Grand Prix of Sonoma on August 28. This race marks Mouser’s third Indy appearance this year with Sam Schmidt Motorsports. Ho-Pin Tung will be driving the #88 Mouser Honda as he becomes the first Chinese driver to run in an Indycar event. The #77 Indycar of Alex Tagliani will also carry the Mouser.com brand.

Mouser Electronics, Inc., known for its rapid introduction of the newest products, makes its European debut at electronica 2008, unveiling for the first time in Europe a line card that boasts over 366 manufacturers. In the last quarter alone, the company added 10 new suppliers, backing its claim to be the distributor that design engineers can rely on when they need to find innovative, new components that will differentiate their products from tho...

Infineon Technologies is extending its portfolio of energy efficient lighting ICs with a new family of low cost linear LED drivers. The new BCR320 and BCR420 product families address the burgeoning market for energy-saving and environmentally friendly light-emitting diode (LED) lighting solutions. Specifically designed for driving 0.5W LEDs with a typical current of 150mA to 200mA, these LED drivers feature a negative thermal coefficient contrib...

Infineon's 4.5kV IHV modules integrate IGBT3/EC3 chips optimized for use in traction drives and high-voltage DC transmission (HVDC). HVDC technology delivers the capability for extremely efficient long-distance electric power transmission. Thanks to the elevated current density of modules incorporating IGBT3/EC3 chips, more power can be transmitted and higher output can be achieved without altering the existing design or needing a more powerful c...
