Read MoreIn a bid to stave off further automotive supply chain issues, automotive group Stellantis has entered into agreements with leading semiconductor vendors such as Infineon, NXP, onsemi and Qualcomm to purchase more than €10 billion worth of products through 2030. Stellantis cites SiC MOSFETS, MCUs and SoCs as some vital products included in the deal. It’s linked to […]
Read MoreThe USA and Europe are spending $/€ billions to re-establish a thriving semiconductor manufacturing industry after decades of underfunding and a self-defeating focus on driving manufacturing abroad in the pursuit of short-term profit. Some forward-thinking semiconductor vendors, such as Infineon, have continued to invest in “local” manufacturing and it is now able to accelerate its […]
Read More Infineon Technologies AG and GaN Systems Inc. have announced that they have signed an agreement under which Infineon will acquire GaN Systems. Both Infineon and GaN Systems currently offer a range of GaN (Gallium Nitride) based High Electron Mobility Transistors (HEMTs) that are used in many applications of power electronics and are a quickly […]
Read MoreFor many years the MEMS microphone market has been dominated by a few major vendors, Knowles and Infineon (plus many companies using Infineon die, including AAC). Few new companies have emerged with new technologies that could possibly upset the status quo. Vesper was one such company, but it only had minimal success before it was […]
Read MoreHere is a quick round-up of some of the recent quarterly earnings reports from major semis vendors. In general, there is a mixed bag of results for different sectors, but this is largely as predicted in SAR Insight’s previous device forecasts. SAR Device Forecast DATAbase. Let’s consider 4 major vendors Infineon, Qualcomm, STMicroelectronics and Texas […]
Read MoreInfineon has announced it is building an ecosystem of partners to help drive its MERUS™ class D amplifier into new markets. This particular announcement focuses on a partnership with Eleven Engineering and the use of class D amplifiers in battery-powered speakers. With the touted 1/10 idle power possible with MERUS multilevel switching technology there are […]
Read MoreChinese vehicle manufacturer NETA Auto announced it is the first to implement Infineon’s latest battery management system (BMS), in its NETA vehicle series. The BMS solution comprises of Infineon’s Li-ion battery monitoring and balancing analog front-end IC (TLE9012DQU), its iso UART transceiver IC (TLE9015DQU) and main controller AurixTM MCU. Focused on reducing the overall […]
Read MoreA long-standing issue with smart locks is the potential for the batteries to drain while they are locked, requiring a manual bypass. A solution to this is to use NFC wireless power transfer to harvest the power required to unlock, from a device such as a smartphone. Infineon’s new NAC1080 chip enables a smart lock […]
Read MoreInfineon has expanded its battery monitoring and balancing range with several new chips designed for use in battery management systems (BMS). The TLE9012DQU is its latest analog front-end battery monitor, capable of monitoring up to 12 battery cells connected in series and provides cell voltage measurements, temperature measurement, cell balancing and communication to the main […]
