Understanding the Importance of Power System Reliability Modelings


Given the unique challenges that power supplies in high-reliability environments face, Infineon decided to investigate Power System Reliability Modeling (PSRM) and develop innovative solutions to overcome those challenges. This whitepaper will serve as an introduction to this topic and pave the way into this new and innovative field. Read more here. » read more

How Good Is 95% Accuracy?


Conventional, deterministic computers don’t make mistakes. They execute a predictable series of computations in response to any given input. The input might be mistaken. The logic behind the operations that are performed might be flawed. But the computer will always do exactly what it has been told to do. When unexpected results occur, they can be attributed to the programmer, the system manu... » read more

Devices Threatened By Analog Content?


As the amount of analog content in connected devices explodes, ensuring that the analog portion works properly has taken on a new level of urgency. Analog circuitry is required for interpreting the physical world and for moving data to other parts of the system, while digital circuitry is the fastest way to process it. So a sensor that gives a faulty reading in a car moving at high speed or ... » read more
