Low-power MCUs extend battery life to a weeks-worth of work
Distributor Digi-Key is now shipping Cypress Semiconductor’s ultra-low-power PSoC 6 family of microcontrollers (MCUs).
Launch of research project for trustworthy electronics
Coordinated by Infineon Technologies AG, the research project Design methods and hardware/software co-verification for the unique identifiability of electronic componentshas begun operations. 12 partners from the research and academic sectors as well as from electronics and end user industries are working together to develop a holistic security concept for the Internet of Things. The VE-VIDES goal is to already systematically identify potential s...
Infineon’s new MEMS scanner for eyeglasses and head-up displays
What if your everyday eyeglasses became the next media for augmented reality applications? What if every car could display valuable data on the whole windshield to securely guide you through the traffic? The new MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems) scanner solution from Infineon Technologies, comprising a MEMS mirror and MEMS driver, allows completely new product designs. Its miniature size and low power consumption are the basis for making au...
The semiconductor industry owes a lot to women
In this fourth and final installment of a women in tech series, Mouser's Marie-Pierre Ducharme discusses significant female engineers, such as Esther Marley Cornwell (pictured above), that have pioneered research in semiconductor technology.Despite the low levels of headcount, women have played significant roles in advancing semiconductor technology. She looks at the contributions of a few talented and successful women.
Why GaN is critical to powering 5G infrastructure
GaN brings efficiency advantages compared with silicon, say Giuseppe Bernacchia, senior principal application engineer and Moshe Domb, director application engineering at Infineon Technologies
1,500V power module doubles as solar and storage use
It is often the case that when components are targeted at large currents and voltages the amount of applications that they can be used in shrinks.
Global driver alert system market predicted to exceed $101bn by 2031
A market research and competitive intelligence provider’s market intelligence report states the global driver alert system market is expected to exceed $101bn by registering a healthy CAGR of 14% in the forecast period 2021 to 2031.
NOR Flash memory for space-grade FPGAs
Space-grade field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) require reliable, high-density non-volatile memories that contain their boot configurations. To address the growing need for high-reliability memories, Infineon has announced a high-density radiation-tolerant (RadTol) NOR Flash memory products qualified to MIL-PRF-38535’s QML-V flow (QML-V Equivalent). The QML-V flow is the highest quality and reliability standard certification for aerospac...
Single-stage flyback controllers for smart LED drivers
Cost-effective dimmable and intelligent LED systems are expected to increase the market share disproportionately in the coming years. Introducing theICL8800,ICL8810andICL8820single-stage flybackLED controllersfor constant output voltages, Infineon Technologies has addressed the need of LED driver manufacturers in this regard.
Enabling secure biometric authentication
Biometrics company Fingerprint Cards AB (Fingerprints) has enabled biometric authentication to be executed entirely within Infineon’s Secure Element, making it cheaper and easier for card manufacturers to develop and roll out biometric payment cards at scale. While many industry experts believed this to be a milestone out of reach, this technological leap has been achieved while maintaining biometric performance and increasing security.
