GaN 600 V e-mode HEMTs now in volume production
With the introduction of its CoolGaN 600 V enhancement mode (e-mode) HEMTs and GaN EiceDRIVER gate driver ICs, Infineon Technologies is said to be the only company in the market currently offering a full-spectrum portfolio of all power technologies – silicon (Si), silicon carbide (SiC) and GaN. The newly launched CoolGaN 600 V e-mode HEMTs are built […]
Integrated half-bridge lowers motor cost driver complexity
Infineon Technologies AG is launching the IFX007T NovalithIC motor driver for industrial applications. The IFX007T smart half-bridge provides an easy and efficient way to drive brushed and brushless motors, integrating a p-channel high-side MOSFET, an n-channel low-side MOSFET and a driver IC into one package. Along with a microcontroller and power supply, no other devices […]
New 650-V gate driver targets motor drive applications below 1 kW
Infineon Technologies AG introduces a new half-bridge, 650 V rated EiceDRIVER based on the company’s unique SOI technology. The 2ED2304S06F provides leading negative VS transient immunity, monolithic integration of a real diode for bootstrap, and superior latch-up immunity. Combined with higher frequency switching, these unique features enable more robust, reliable, smaller systems and reduce BOM […]
Intelligent power modules handle 1.2-kV industrial motor drives of up to 1.8 kW
Infineon Technologies AG adds another member to its family of intelligent power modules (IPMs): CIPOS Maxi IM818 series integrates various power and control components to increase reliability, optimize PCB size and system costs. The IPM is packaged in a DIP 36x23D housing. This makes it the smallest package for 1200 V IPMs with the highest […]
Four-channel 5-A switch targets control of vehicular valves, relays, actuators
As emission standards for vehicles become increasingly demanding, car manufacturers are striving to make combustion engines more efficient. Infineon Technologies is launching a new member of its FLEX multichannel low-side switches family that will help reduce fuel consumption and thus CO 2 emissions. The TLE9104SH 5-A switch is the first smart four-channel low-side switch for currents up to 5A […]
Automotive power switch family handles lighting, body applications
Infineon Technologies AG is launching a new generation of its multichannel SPI high-side power controllers SPOC. The new SPOC series is designed to address interior and exterior lighting applications but also power distribution applications such as door lock and seat heating, as well as lighting and power distribution loads for e-bikes. Similar to the body […]
Low-side driver ICs for SMPS guard against false triggering of power MOSFETS
Every time a power MOSFET is switched on or off in a switched-mode power supply (SMPS), parasitic inductances cause ground shifts. This can lead to uncontrolled switching of gate driver ICs. In extreme cases, this results in electrical overloading of power MOSFETs and malfunctioning of the SMPS. To solve this problem, Infineon Technologies offers the […]
200-V half-bridge gate driver IC promotes reliable start-up
Infineon Technologies AG is introducing the IRS2007S 200 V half-bridge gate driver IC in a standard SOIC-8 (DSO-8) package. It is a new member of the EiceDRIVER 200 V level-shift gate driver family. Featuring undervoltage-lockout (UVLO) for V CC and V BS, the new gate driver ensures a higher reliability in start-up operations than previous product generations. IRS2007S […]
IC combines power supply, 5-Mbps CAN for automotive use
Infineon Technologies AG is launching two new System Basis Chip (SBC) families: Lite and Mid-Range+. They are the first SBCs on the market supporting the ISO CAN FD protocol for communication at 5 Mbit/s for a large variety of automotive applications. An SBC is the central supply of power and communication for microcontrollers within electronic […]
