Infineon provides secured authentication for Qi 1.3 certified wireless charger in automotive applications

Electronic IDs (eID) can serve to legalise a person's identity in the form of a legal document. In addition to simply identifying the citizen, the functionality of national eIDs can also be expanded to enable people to access government services and benefits online. This eliminates the need to stand in long lines at local government offices, which is a major advantage, especially in times of pandemics.

Five higher technical schools in Carinthia and six in Tyrol received high-precision CO2 sensors from Infineon Technologies Austria AG and MCI in Innsbruck.

Jochen Hanebeck will take over as the new Chief Executive Officer of Infineon Technologies AG on April 1, 2022. Previously Infineon’s Chief Operating Officer, Hanebeck was reappointed for five years.

Personal vehicles, with automated mechanical features rely on a range of comfort motor drive technology, for gliding doors, sliding windows and seat positioning, says Rick Browarski, product marketing manager, Infineon Technologies

Infineon offers a wide selection of automotive-qualified MOSFETs in robust packages for 12V to 48V board net applications. The portfolio of automotive-qualified OptiMOS™ power MOSFETs is offered in diversified packages and range from 30V to 300V with RDS(on) down to 0.55mΩ. The portfolio starts with a small S3O8 and continues to the SSO8 packages in either single, dual, or a half-bridge configuration.

Infineon Technologies AG supports the expansion of the UWB ecosystem, joining the FiFa consortium as a contributing member.  

Infineon Technologies has introduced the SLI37 automotive security controller: an easy to design in and reliable trust anchor to secure safety-critical automotive applications like 5G-ready eUICC (eCall), V2X communication, car access or SOTA updates.  

The EZ-PD BCR (Barrel Connector Replacement) is a highly integrated USB-C controller. Together with the USB-C connector, it replaces barrel connectors, custom connectors or legacy USB connectors in electronic devices.

The fail-operational architectural concept enables SAE Level 3 and 4 Automated Driving Systems (ADS) for highly automated driving. It allows safe and reliable sensor data processing for highway pilot functions, valet parking and autonomous truck driving. It is based on a centralised computer architecture, the design lays the groundwork for the future software-based car. This joint development successfully completes the €50m PRYSTINE res...

Communication interfaces in vehicles is growing – and that entails security challenges for car makers.

In order to meet Europe's ambitious climate targets, greenhouse gas emissions must be drastically reduced by 2030. To achieve this, around 28 million multi-family houses with over 80 million households must be equipped with photovoltaics. Accordingly, Infineon has introduced a solar power sharing technology.

Qualified for automotive applications, Infineon’s EasyPACK 2B EDT2 is a flexible and scalable half-bridge power module.

Flex Power Modules introduces the BMR310, a non-isolated switched capacitor intermediate bus converter which provides high power density for data centres, thus improving board space utilisation and freeing space for other components.

Infineon Technologies has opened a 300mm thin wafer fab in Villach, Austria to make power products.

Infineon Technologies AG launches new current ratings for its EconoDUAL 3 portfolio with TRENCHSTOP IGBT7 chips. With the broad range of current classes from 300 A up to 900 A, the portfolio offers inverter designers a high degree of flexibility while also providing increased power density and performance. In addition to solar and drive applications, the portfolio is also tailored for Commercial, construction and agricultural vehicles (CAV) ...

In power electronics and the semiconductor market, the system approach is gaining momentum. To support this trend, Infineon has introduced a pretested industrial reference design which reduces the time to market significantly.

Infineon and Panasonic have signed an agreement for the joint development and production of the second generation (Gen2) of their gallium nitride (GaN) technology, claiming to offer higher efficiency and power density levels. The performance and reliability combined with the capability of 8" GaN-on-Si wafer production mark Infineon’s strategic outreach to the growing demand for GaN power semiconductors. In accordance with market r...

Class-D audio high-power amplifiers have succeeded in professional and high-end consumer markets by offering a combination of small size, low heat dissipation, high integration, and good sound. Efficiency is considered a strong point of the class-D topology; which could be the key to eliminating the bulky heatsinks needed by traditional analog amplifiers, thus permitting smaller, more lightweight solutions. Their smaller size delivers p...

Infineon Technologies and Robert Bosch  are launching a new low-loss diode called Active Rectifying Diode for light vehicle generators. It enables an increase in generator efficiency of up to eight percent compared to conventional power conversion methods and facilitates generators to qualify as eco-innovations as defined by the EU. Deploying the new diode can reduce the CO2 emissions of a car by up to 1.8g/km. Since it can replace stan...
