    Infineon Invests Over €2 Billion in New Frontend Fab
    There was a time where the trend in the semiconductor industry was to move to a fabless strategy. Why bother with the expense of a fab and gaining the expertise in-house to take care of complex manufacturing, when you could easily subcontract to a specialist who’d make your chips cheaply and with higher yields t

    1,700V Switcher ICs Allow 1000V EV Designs
    There is an ongoing trend in electric vehicle (EV) design to move to a higher voltage operation. Most of the initial tranche of EVs had a battery voltage of 400V for cars and 600V for heavier vehicles, but manufacturers are now making the transition to 800V and in some cases even higher voltages. Even the manufa
