Infineon has introduced automotive microcontrollers with capacitive touch sensing for sensor and actuator applications. The PSOC 4 HVMS family is built around a 24 or 48MHz Arm Cortex-M0+ processor, with up to 128kbyte of flash and 8kbyte of ram. The ICs also have what Infineon calls ‘high-voltage’ capability for almost-direct connection to 12 and 24V vehicle batteries as they include an ...
Infineon Technologies has announced a rad-hardened GaN transistor designed to operate in harsh space environments. It “is the first in-house manufactured GaN transistor to earn the highest quality certification of reliability assigned by the United States Defense Logistics Agency to the JANS specification MIL-PRF-19500/794”, according to the company. “The gallium nitride hemts [high electron mobility transistors] are engineered for mission-critical ...
Texas Instruments has joined the companies working with Nvidia on 800Vdc data centres. 800Vdc power-distribution architecture will provide the power density and conversion efficiency that future AI processors require, while minimizing the growth of the power supply’s size, weight and complexity,” said TI. Nvidia’s proposal is to convert 13.8kVac grid power directly to 800Vdc at the data centre perimeter. Compared with ...

Infineon is shipping introduces PSOC 4100T Plus, an Arm Cortex-M0+ MCU with Multi-Sense. The chip blends analogue and digital capabilities with 128K Flash, 32K SRAM, and Multi-Sense technology which includes CAPSENSE, inductive sensing and liquid level sensing. It claims to provide a complete solution for system control and human-machine interface (HMI) applications. PSOC 4100T Plus can be used as a ...
Nvidia and Infineon are getting together to establish a new architecture for power chips in AI data centres, The aim is to focus on creating a new architecture for power systems using centralised, HVDC distribution, specifically at 800V. At present, the power supply in AI data centers is decentralized. This means that the AI chips are supplied with power by ...
US car maker Rivian has signed up Infineon to supply traction inverter power modules, microcontrollers and power ICs for its ‘R2’ vehicle platform, expecting to start in 2026. The power modules will be in Infineon’s HybridPack Drive G2 format (pictured) and include both silicon and silicon carbide components. Along with these, Rivian has picked infineon’s established TC3x MCUs, not not ...
