Infineon has introduced six automotive linear regulators, protected against 40 or 45V, and supplying 3.3 or 5V at up 500mA, some with enable, watchdog or reset circuits (see the table below). Picking the TLS820F3ELV50 as an example, it has an input range of 3 to 42V (45V abs max) and outputs 5V ±2% at up to 200mA. “These regulators are ...

800V three phase motor drivers up to 20A or 4kW
Infineon is aiming to drive motors up to 4kW with a series of integrated three-phase IGBT motor drivers. There are three: IM12B10CC1 800V 10A 2.2kW IM12B15CC1 800V 15A 3kW IM12B20EC1 800V 20A 4kW Each comes in the same 36 x 23mm DIP package and includes six 1,200V IGBTs, six anti-parallel diodes, and a protected level-shifting gate driver compatible with logic-level ...
Autosar tool trial for Infineon TC4x automotive processors
HighTec EDV-Systeme has announced a time-limited evaluation bundle for Autosar-based development using Infineon’s TC4x automotive processors, created with Infineon. In Autosar development, besides a run-time environment and an application layer, ‘basic software’ is needed – which consists of pre-defined modules that are summarised in layers. The layers are intended to make it easier to migrate software to different hardware. One of these ...
Infineon and Swoboda tie-up to make current sensors
Infineon and Swoboda are developing current sensor modules for automotive traction inverters and battery management systems. The deal combines Infineon’s sensor ICs with Swoboda’s expertise in sensor modules, and the first product (photo right) is aimed specifically at Infineon’s ‘HybridPACK Drive G2’ three-phase traction motor drive modules. Later models will cover more general applications. The infineon-specific model is called the ...
PCIM: Infineon’s 1.3mΩ 80V mosfet in SS08
Infineon is aiming at 48V automotive applications with AUCN08S7N013, an 80V mosfet in a 5 x 6mm SSO8 that has a maximum on-resistance of 1.3mΩ at 25°C (Tj, 10Vgs, 88A Id). “48V applications including electric power steering, braking systems, power switches in zone architectures, battery management, e-fuse boxes, dc-dc and brushless dc motor drives,” it said. The mosfet is several ...
PCIM: 600V silicon mosfets from Infineon, and GaN from 200mm wafers
Infineon has announced a flurry of new power products as a prelude to PCIM in Nuremberg next week, the latest of which is a family of 600V super-junction mosfets. Its eighth generation, “the devices combine the best features of the 600V CoolMOS 7 series and are the successors to the P7, PFD7, C7, CFD7, G7 and S7 product families”, according ...
Infineon adds bi-directional GaN transistors
Infineon has announced bi-directional GaN power transistors at 40, 650 and 850V, and a current sensing GaN transistor. There are two types of bi-directional transistor: The 650 and 850V devices are both normally-off monolithic gate-injection transistors with four operational modes via two separate gates and a substrate terminal, to deliver what the company calls ‘independent isolated control’. “They utilize the ...
High analogue accuracy automotive MCU survives 42V
Infineon has introduced microcontrollers for monitoring vehicle Pb-acid batteries, that can be powered directly from the battery and include a pair of high-accuracy ADCs. Operation is over 3.6 to 28V, with reduced function up to 42V, and the drvices have been developed with functional safety in mind. “The device is developed compliant to ISO 26262, meeting all process requirements for ...
Embedded World: Infineon TC4x MCUs cleared for AI safety
Infineon has had its forthcoming TC4x automotive microcontrollers cleared for safe AI processing by the Fraunhofer Institute for Cognitive Systems (IKS). “Embedded AI is becoming increasingly important for safety-critical real-time applications,” said Infineon. “However, this also creates new requirements and standards that must be considered during the complete product lifecycle.” The TC4x family includes ‘PPU’ (parallel processing unit), an AI-accelerator ...
Embedded World: ASIL D qualified Rust compiler for Infineon TriCore processors
Infineon has lined up a Rust programming language compiler for two of its TriCore architecture processor families: the existing TC3x and forthcoming TC4x. “Rust, with its unique memory safety features, has emerged as a viable complement or potential substitute for C/C++ in automotive software development,” according to the company. Working with Infineon, HighTec EDV-Systeme has released an ISO 26262 ASIL ...
