In booth 701 at the Applied Power Electronics Conference (APEC 2018) in San Antonio, TX, USA (4-8 March), Infineon Technologies AG of Munich, Germany is showcasing energy-efficient, reliable and cost-effective power semiconductor devices based on silicon, silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN).
Highlighting the growing reliability and market maturity of wide-bandgap power technologies, as well as continued improvements in silicon-based MOSFETs and IGBTs, Infineon is exhibiting new XDP family digital controllers, intelligent power modules and audio drivers, as well as GaN-based boards for telecom, server and consumer electronics applications, SiC MOSFETs and diodes, and automotive-qualified inverter modules.
