Motor control for industrial applications has been a discussion topic for as long as motors have existed. The biggest reasons for that never-ending discussion have to do with the need to drive them more efficiently, meaning that we want to do more with less power, while maximizing the up time of those motors. In many cases, we are referring to “always-on” power, where a system is required to run 24/7/365.

Big announcement from the Biden administration—the U.S. Cyber Trust Mark. In its simplest form, it’s a logo/sticker that goes onto any compliant IoT device. In its most complex form, designers need to understand what this standard is all about.

Munich, Germany –– Infineon Technologies AG introduced the new TEGRION security controller family to the company’s portfolio of 28 nm security controllers, integrating the new Integrity Guard 32 security architecture and an advanced Arm v8-M instruction set for improved device performance.

Adding touch capability to your display can be a tricky endeavor, especially if that display is aimed at an industrial application, where the conditions may be less than perfect. In this video, you’ll see how Infineon addresses the issue with a product that works just as well in consumer products as industrial.

The latest version of Universal Debug Engine (UDE) 2023 from Programmierbare Logik & Systeme (PLS) offers debugging and testing of designs developed for Infineon's TRAVEO CYT4DN MCU to aid in innovating dash instruments as wells as more effective head-up displays in vehicles. Included are two Arm Cortex M7 cores reaching 320 MHz with designated subsystems for graphics and sound. The singular chip supports 6 Mbytes Flash, 640 Kbytes SRAM, and 4 Mbytes embedded video RAM (VRAM).

Munich, Germany –Infineon Technologies AG added 650 V in TO leadless (TOLL) packaging to its silicon carbide (SiC) CoolSiC MOSFET family to address electro-mobility and power consumption demands.

Smart door locks are fairly common today, but they could be significantly smarter (and lower power).
