How Semiconductor Solutions Address Safety Requirements Of Future Power Distribution Networks In Autonomous Vehicles


Open up the bonnet of any modern automobile and many of us would be hard-pressed to find anything that we could fix ourselves. With pipes and cables almost artistically integrated into the engine bay, and sleek plastic covers fitted everywhere, there is very little that can still be recognized, yet alone repaired. Perhaps the only location where we feel comfortable is the “fuse box”, or pow... » read more

Building A Secured Internet Of Things


The emerging Internet of Things (IoT) presents tremendous opportunities for innovative companies to deliver products and services to make industry more efficient, transportation safer and the everyday lives of people more convenient and fulfilling. But with great good there also can be great risk. Remote, intelligent monitoring and control for factories, homes, cities, and cars can increase eff... » read more

Gallium Nitride — Gate Drive Solutions For CoolGaN 600V HEMTs


This paper explains the gate drive requirements for Infineon’s CoolGaN 600 V e-mode HEMTs. Various driving solutions are discussed, ranging from the standard RC-coupled driver to a new differential drive concept utilizing dedicated gate driver ICs. In half-bridge topologies, a hybrid configuration combining isolated and non-isolated drivers could be an exciting alternative. Practical applicat... » read more

Next-Level Power Density In Solar And Energy Storage With Silicon Carbide MOSFETs


Latest generation silicon carbide semiconductors enable a significant increase in power conversion efficiency in solar power generation systems and associated energy storage. This white paper describes the applications and outlines how lower loss not only saves energy, but also results in smaller and lighter equipment with lower capital, installation and maintenance costs.

Radar Wave Propagation Through Materials


This white paper focuses on electromagnetic (EM) wave propagation through materials. For radar systems, this is of interest when radar must pass through walls, or when designing radomes (cover casings for the radar system). In the process of designing a radome, you should always perform full EM simulation. However, the content of this white paper will help you to first estimate whether a radome... » read more

Securing The IoT Begins With Zero-Touch Provisioning At Scale


The path to secured IoT deployments starts with a hardware root-of-trust at the device level, a simple concept that belies the complexity of managing a chain of trust that extends from every edge device to the core of the network. The solution to this management challenge, based on a coordinated effort of domain experts, is a zero touch “chip-to-cloud” provisioning service for certificates-... » read more

The Matter Standard: Implementing Improved Security And Connectivity For The Smart Home


The smart home continues to evolve in available functions and complexity as several different connectivity protocols from numerous suppliers target a variety of products for use in smart homes. However, many consumers (71% according to incontrol) acknowledge fear of their personal information being stolen while using smart home products. At the same time, ease of use for user-installed products... » read more

A Revolution For Power Conversion Systems — CoolSiC MOSFET


Silicon carbide (SiC) transistors are increasingly used in power converters, placing high demands on the size, weight and/or efficiency. The outstanding material properties of SiC enable the design of fastswitching unipolar devices as opposed to bipolar IGBT devices. Thus, solutions which have been up to now possible in the low-voltage world only (< 600 V) are now possible at higher voltages... » read more
