Demand for energy efficient charging solutions is rising fast. In order to address the fast growing demand for Silicon Carbide (SiC) solutions in this field, Infineon Technologies launched two new EasyPACK modules of the 1,200V family. Both, Easy 1B and Easy 2B, integrate CoolSiC MOSFETs aiming not only at this market but also at UPS applications.

The GaN and SiC Power Semiconductor Market is set to grow from its current market value of more than $400m to over $3bn by 2025; as reported in the latest study byGlobal Market Insights.The expanding prominence of EVs can be aptly credited for the proliferation of GaN and SiC power semiconductor market trends. Even though automakers are introducing EVs, their short driving range has dented their growth prospects, commanding the requirement of enh...

Infineon OptiMOS 3 and 5 best-in-class (BiC) power MOSFETs in space-saving SuperSO8 package are available at Rutronik UK. They enable higher power density in addition to improved robustness compared to former models, and reduce system costs while increasing overall performance.

To ensure its sustainable growth over the long term, Infineon has invested in a new, fully automated chip production facility in Villach, Austria, which will have around 60,000 m² of floor space when completed. This will also create around 400 new jobs for highly skilled workers. Construction began in the first half of 2019 and is well under way. Infineon is using the automation and digitalisation concepts from its Dresden location in the ne...

Hardware-based trust anchors are key for connected applications and smart services, whether for a robotic arm in the smart factory or automated air conditioning in a private home. The new OPTIGA Trust M solution from Infineon Technologies helps manufacturers to enhance the security of their devices while at the same time improving overall system performance.

The global semiconductor market is headed for the largest decline in 18 years. The market dropped 32% in 2001 when the Internet bubble burst. The 2019 decline should be around 15%, the third largest annual drop after 2001 and a 17% drop in 1985. The current weakness is largely due to excess memory capacity (DRAM and NAND flash) relative to demand.

Infineon Technologies has released a new LED driver IC to its XDP portfolio. The XDPL8210 is a constant current flyback IC with a high power factor and primary-side regulation. Key advantages of designing with XDPL8210 include outstanding functional performance for efficient designs as well as low bill-of-material (BOM) for small system cost and high flexibility.

Compared with traditional three-level neutral-point-clamped topologies, the advanced neutral-point-clamped (ANPC) inverter design supports an even loss distribution between semiconductor devices. Infineon Technologies utilises the ANPC topology for its hybrid SiC and IGBT power module EasyPACK 2B in the 1,200V family.

Smart factories and connected supply chains are presenting manufacturing companies with opportunities. Sophisticated automation and self-optimisation through machine-learning and AI are promising highly optimised processes and increased production efficiency – hence more productivity with the same input.

In less than six months, the international exhibition and conference for power electronics will open its doors once again. It is already clear that the PCIM Europe will continue to grow in 2020. Both the exhibition space and the number of exhibitor registrations have already exceeded the previous year's figures.
