Increasing current densities and short switching times in MOSFETs are placing ever greater stress on the dielectric strength of inductors. Molded inductors with a distributed air gap based on iron powder enable high inductance values in the smallest of spaces and thus increase the power density. A new test con

Intelligent diagnostics maximizes factory-floor up-times

Hubert Baierl, Infineon Technologies

More than often it is common that when technical equipment fails, finding the root cause of the failure consumes significantly more time than actually fixing the problem. In highly sophisticated factory automation environments where capital-intensive equipment is in operation or where time-coupled chemical processes ar
