Munich, Germany – 19 October, 2022 – To improve road safety, many countries are introducing regulations that require drivers to actively yield the right of way to emergency vehicles. As more autonomous vehicles are deployed, regulations are likely to include self-driving vehicles that can also detect and respond to emergency vehicles and meet safety requirements.

Munich, Germany. The current energy crisis clearly shows that alternative energy sources are urgently needed for securing a climate-friendly energy supply. California-based Bloom Energy has chosen CoolSiC™ MOSFETs and CoolSiC diodes from Infineon Technologies AG (FSE: IFX / OTCQX: IFNNY) to process electrical power in Bloom’s Energy Server, the company’s fuel cell offering, and the Bloom Electrolyzer.

Technologies to enable connectivity in the automobile are accelerating at a staggering pace. In the past, the electrical connections drove basic functions, and wireless connections weren’t even considered due to limited reliability and performance that wasn’t up to snuff.

MUNICH, GERMANY. Smart home solutions are designed not only to make life easier, but to do it in ways that are more sustainable for the planet as a whole and its individual resources. Up until recently, establishing a secure, fully connected smart home has been a challenge because of the separate protocols and device ecosystems permeating products across the market. The Connectivity Standards Alliance’s (CSA) newly released Matter 1.0 specification aims to overcome that obstacle by providing device makers with a single standard to follow for smart home applications such as smart locks, thermostats, sensors, security systems, lighting, and more.

On this episode, Brandon is joined by Mathias Beer, Chief Product Officer at Ci4Rail, to discuss ModBlox7, a PICMG standard that helps regulate Box PCs to the rising prevalence of modularization and miniaturization.

Infineon is expanding its family of AC-DC controller ICs to help amplify one of the industries fasting growing markets, battery-powered appliances.

The theoretical definition of functional safety can be taken from the ISO 26262 specification which ensures that a high level of safety is built into an automobile and its components right from the start of the design. The standard provides guidance for the entire automotive safety lifecycle, from overall risk management to individual component development, production, operation, service, and decommissioning.
