Automatic emergency call saves lives
It can save lives, which is why the automatic emergency call feature – termed eCall – will be mandatory for all new car and light commercial vehicle models in the European Union from 31st March 2018. It will therefore be integrated in future in an estimated 20 million new vehicles annually.The aim of the eCall system is to shorten the time between an accident and the arrival of the emergency services by up to 50% throughout Europe, an...

High-side switches drive current loads of 20 to 40A DC
Now available from Rutronik UK, Infineon's Power PROFET protected high-side switches support the trend towards decentralised, intelligent and cost effective vehicle power distribution architectures. Power PROFET is a benchmark family of ultra-low ohmic protected high-side switches (1.0mΩ to 2.5mΩ) with integrated protection functions and diagnostics for automotive and 12V industrial markets.
CAN transceivers supply interference protection
The TLE9250 high-speed CAN transceivers from Infineon Technologies is now in stock at Mouser Electronics. Designed for high-speed automotive and industrial Controller Area Network (CAN) systems that connect microcontrollers, sensors, and actuators, the TLE9250 transceiver serves as an interface between the physical bus layer and protocol controller to protect against interferences generated inside the network.
Duo collaborate to improve data security in the car
New features in the car require electronic control units that are networked, with each other and the cloud. Embedded IT security is a vital aspect in that. That goes for assistance systems, updating Software Over The Air (SOTA) and autonomous driving functions. Infineon Technologies and Elektrobit Automotive are teaming up long term to work closely together on the issue of cyber security for vehicles.
