Decarbonizing Commercial Vehicles with Infineon Semiconductors
By Infineon - 03 Jul, 2024 - Comments: 0

Commercial, construction and agricultural vehicles (CAVs) are the backbone of industries that drive our global economy. Motivated by recent developments, the CAV industry is now undergoing a radical change: the journey toward electrification--from CAVS to eCAVs. The electrification of CAVs is a huge and promising challenge in which the semiconductors play a crucial role. Find more informatio... » read more

Gate Drive Configurations For GaN Power Transistors
By Infineon - 05 Jun, 2024 - Comments: 0

This whitepaper gives a compact overview of the recommended gate drive concepts for both GIT (gate injection transistor) and SGT (Schottky gate transistor) product families. A versatile standard drive (RC interface) can be easily adapted to both technologies. The document also provides basic gate drive dimensioning guidelines and some typical application examples.

The Importance Of Power Conversion Technologies In The Production Of Green Hydrogen
By Infineon - 08 May, 2024 - Comments: 0

Global demand for green hydrogen is high and rising fast. Some studies predict that the electrical power demand to produce green hydrogen will be 4500 GW by 2050, compared to today’s (2023) electrical power demand of around 25 GW. This exponential growth will be fueled by green hydrogen which will reduce the carbon footprint of existing industries that use hydrogen as a feedstock, and by the ... » read more

Enabling The Next Generation Of Smarter Self-Navigating Robots Using Hybrid ToF Technology
By Infineon - 03 Apr, 2024 - Comments: 0

Previous generations of robot vacuum cleaners have used a random pattern for cleaning that is inefficient and slow. Next-generation robots are much smarter and generate a map of the environment using sensors to localize themselves. This provides users with a floorplan of their home, from which the rooms and areas can be selected for cleaning or restricted from access. The new robots accomplish ... » read more

How To Meet The IoT Security Requirements Of Today And Tomorrow
By Infineon - 06 Dec, 2023 - Comments: 0

Governments around the world are creating Internet of Things (IoT) security legislation and regulations designed to keep users safe in an increasingly connected world. Connectivity is good and, in fact, great but bad things can happen to people with unprotected or poorly protected IoT devices. Failing to meet government regulations or guidelines may lead to the inability to sell products in a r... » read more

Usage Of Pulse-Edge Transformer In Secondary-Controlled Flyback Applications
By Infineon - 01 Nov, 2023 - Comments: 0

As the demand for smaller form factors and higher energy efficiency for charger/adapter grows, the wide bandgap (WBG) device technology is gaining popularity. To use the potential of WBG and thus improve the power density and efficiency, the switching frequency levels of converters are in the order of 300 kHz to 400 kHz. The higher switching frequency also requires faster control or response ti... » read more

Usage Of Pulse-Edge Transformer In Secondary Controlled Flyback Applications
By Infineon - 04 Oct, 2023 - Comments: 0

The pulse-edge transformer (PET) is used as a medium to transmit PWM pulses from a secondary-side controller, such as EZ-PD™ PAGxS, to a primary-side controller, such as EZ-PD™ PAGxP, for AC/DC applications targeting the power adapter segment. This article explains the advantages of PET over the conventional opto-coupler based approach. Click here to read more. » read more
