Infineon Technologies AG today announced that in future the Volkswagen AG Business Unit Braunschweig will use Infineon’s Hall sensors in electric power steering systems for vehicles. Infineon’s TLE4998C4 programmable linear Hall sensor will be used for various model ranges. Infineon has already started to deliver the chips.

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...

Three German partners from industry and research are joining forces in a quest to curb one of the worst energy guzzlers in the household and to introduce energy efficiency to the kitchen. Use of the induction cooking method – where only pots and pans are heated and not the stovetop – could save up to 25 percent electricity. Today, about ten to 15 percent of German households are equipped with an induction cooker. The initial price difference ...

Infineon Technologies today introduces the ThinPAK 8x8, a new leadless SMD package for HV MOSFETs. The new package has a very small footprint of only 64mm² (vs. 150mm² for the D2PAK) and a very low profile with only 1mm height (vs. 4.4mm for the D2PAK). The significantly smaller package size, combined with benchmark low parasitic inductances, provides designers with a new and effective way to decrease system solution size in power density drive...

Infineon Technologies AG introduces its specific off-line driver IC for high-efficiency LED bulbs with dimming for residential lighting. With a flexible architecture that supports very cost-effective 40W/60W/100W incandescent bulb replacement and all typical consumer lighting applications, the ICL8001G sets a new benchmark with respect to integration, performance, features, and total system cost. The ICL8001G enables up to 90 percent efficiency, ...

Infineon Technologies today announced that its Trusted Platform Module solution supports and secures the recently introduced Microsoft Windows 8 operating system. Infineon provides a complete solution based on Common Criteria certified TPM hardware and the corresponding software suite aiming at use in communication and office applications.
