With the voltage levels for GaN power semiconductors moving up and the levels for SiC moving down, we have an overlap, where either type of device would be suitable for the job.

So which should you choose?

Munich, Germany and Taipei, Taiwan – Infineon Technologies AG and Delta Electronics Inc., a power and energy management company based in Taiwan, are in the process of shifting their cooperation from industrial to automotive applications, as both companies signed a Memorandum of Understanding to collaboratively provide more advanced solutions for electric vehicles.

Thanks to a host of modern innovations, not the least of which is the proliferation of the IoT, the world is changing at an astounding pace, and health care is changing with it—and that’s a great thing. The dreaded delays in doctors’ waiting rooms have given way to real-time online diagnosis, treatment histories stored in the cloud, and other innovations.

Munich, Germany and Palo Alto, California – Infineon Technologies AG and Apex.AI, a company developing safety-certified software for mobility and autonomous applications, are co-developing a platform to speed up the software development process of safety-critical automotive functions in vehicles by combining Apex.AI’s software development kit and Infineon’s AURIX™ TC3X microcontroller.

Programmable SoCs provide flexibility, determinism, and reprogrammable capabilities for wide range of applications where device customization and conditions regularly fluctuate. Applications like industrial control and home automation are examples of two environments where the ability to configure and make devices smarter for monitoring purposes is a must.

Aimed at advanced industrial applications, such as industrial drives, electric vehicle (EV) charging, two-wheel electric vehicles, and robotics, Infineon Technologies’ XMC7000 series of microcontrollers (MCUs) offers single and dual core options of 350-MHz 32-bit Arm Cortex-M7 and a 100-MHz 32-bit Arm Cortex-M0+. In addition, the MCU can hold up to 8 Mbytes of embedded flash memory and 1 Mbyte of on-chip SRAM. The devices operate from 2.7 to 5.5 V and achieve full specification from -40°C to +125°C.
