Companies Facts

the highest industry standard IEC 61000-4-2. Even with the exceptional level of protection it affords, the ESD3v3u4ulc has minimal impact on the signal qua- lity of the high-speed connection. With traditional solutions, effective protection comes at the expense of signal integrity, which leads to poor quality of the high-speed signal.

Infineon has also married the ESD3v3u4ulc with its most recent package technology: The TSLP-9-1 enables optimum PCB layouts, with a single diode protecting up to four traces simultaneously. Particu- larly with high-speed interfaces, the right component package helps to ensure that signals are transmitted fast, without a loss of quality.

nfineon Technologies AG (OTCQX: IFNNY) presents a new, extremely fast-acting diode, which

protects high-speed USB 3.0 ports from electrostatic discharge while maintaining optimum signal quality. The ESD3v3u4ulc will be available in volume from January 2011. Unit prices start at US Dollar 0.60 for 10,000-unit quantities. The ESD3v3u4ulc damping diode from Infineon absorbs energy released through electrostatic discharge on a USB port to protect equipment from damage. With the lowest clamping voltage and the lowest dynamic resistance (0.23 Ω) of any product on the market today, the diode response is extremely effective in the event of an electrostatic discharge. At 20 kV, its ability to absorb energy significantly exceeds the 8 kV called for in

Furthermore, Infineon Technologies announced that in future the Volkswagen AG Business Unit Braun- schweig will use Infineon’s Hall sensors in electric power steering systems for vehicles (image left). Infineon’s TLE4998C4 programmable linear Hall sensor will be used for various model ranges. Infine- on has already started to deliver the chips. Infineon is the only manufacturer in the world to provide Hall sensors offering the three interfaces: Short PWM Codes (SPC), Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) and Single Edge Nibble Transmission (SENT). The Com- pany opened a new facility in China called Infineon Integrated Circuits (Beijing) Co., Ltd., located in the Beijing Economic and Technological Develop- ment Area. In addition to sales and marketing, ap- plication R&D and central functions, the new entity houses an IGBT – Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors –stack manufacturing facility and a technical center for automotive solutions.
