Infineon Technologies has developed the first marketable silver box reference design that enables PC and server power supply units to achieve up to 92.35 percent efficiency, while significantly reducing the material costs. Infineon’s solution IFX90ATX300W is based on the latest generation of three ICs (Integrated Circuits) and meets the industry’s highest energy efficiency standard: “80 PLUS® Platinum”. Efficiency indicates what share of...

Six partners from the semiconductor and solar industries are joining forces in the NEULAND project funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) to explore new avenues for the efficient use of electricity from renewable sources. NEULAND stands for innovative power devices with high energy efficiency and cost effectiveness based on wide bandgap compound semiconductors. The project aims to reduce the losses in feeding electricit...

With today’s portable storage media, anyone can take their own media library with them wherever they go – everything from the latest album release by their favorite band to last summer’s vacation photos and even HD-quality movies that can be played back in an instant on end-user equipment like televisions and laptop computers. The better the picture and audio quality, though, the greater the quantity of data to be transferred between the de...

Infineon Technologies today announced the availability of its 2nd generation SiC (Silicon Carbide) Schottky diodes in the TO-220 FullPAK package. The new TO220 FullPak portfolio combines the high electrical performance standards of the 2nd generation ThinQ! SiC Schottky diodes with the advantages of a fully isolated package, including easier and more reliable mounting without having to use isolating bushing and foil.

In the real-time MCU world, cost-effective complex motor control designs have been dominated by specialized cores. In many cases dual-core systems have been used, with the main core handling the control algorithm and a second “mini” core managing the real-time I/O and data manipulation. By Mike Copeland, Senior Staff Applications Engineer, Infineon Technologies.

The growing complexity of microelectronic systems makes it necessary to align and coordinate the development of chips, packages and boards at a very early stage, especially when it comes to system-in-package (SiP) applications.

Infineon Technologies announced that the Hirose plant of the Toyota Motor Corporation awarded Infineon the ”Honor Quality Award”, its highest level award for delivering extraordinary product quality. This is the first time ever that a non-Japanese company was honored with a “Honor Quality Award” and Infineon is the only recipient of the award in 2010. Infineon was recognized for providing CAN transceivers with zero-defect quality for fou...
