Low-Power Barometric Pressure Sensor from Infineon Delivers New Levels of Accuracy for Mobile and Wearable Gadgets and IoT Devices
 
Munich, Germany

Infineon Technologies AG (FSE: IFX / OTCQX: IFNNY) has launched an ultra-high +/-5cm resolution, miniature MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems) pressure sensor for use in mobile and wearable gadgets and IoT (Internet of Things) devices. The DPS310 is a low-power digital barometric pressure sensor that enables the development of new and enhanced navigation, location, well-being, gesture recognition and weather monitoring applications.
 
Delivering accurate and stable performance across a wide temperature range, the DPS310 is ideal for indoor navigation and assisted location applications – such as floor detection in shopping malls and parking garages– and outdoor navigation where it can help to improve navigation accuracy or support ‘dead reckoning’ when GPS signal is not available. In addition, the ability to provide accurate data for calculating elevation gain and vertical speed suits activity tracking in mobile and wearable health and sports gadgets, while ultra-precise pressure measurement opens up new possibilities for gesture recognition and the detection of rapid weather changes.
 
The Infineon DPS310 pressure sensor is based on the capacitive sensing principle rather than the piezo-electric principle employed in most other digital pressure sensors. This guarantees high precision across a broad range of temperatures even when temperature changes rapidly. This is clearly an advantage since the temperature inside a mobile device can change quickly due to several heat sources.
 
In high-precision mode the DPS310 can measure heights within ±5cm enabling the exact detection of transient states, which are the biggest challenges of indoor navigation. The high resolution of Infineon’ pressure sensor could help, for example, in identifying when a person is moving from one floor of a building to another and triggering the download of a new floorplan. High-accuracy height measurement is also required by sports and fitness applications that need to differentiate between the different types of ‘steps’ a wearer might be taking and the corresponding calorie ‘burn rate’.
 
For the new pressure sensor Infineon makes use of advanced semiconductor process technologies that were originally developed for the company’s automotive sensors. The sensors are highly reliable and, for example, integrated in safety applications such as airbags. These technologies contribute to both the small device size of 2.0mm x 2.5mm x 1.0mm and its low-power consumption. In low power mode the current consumption is only 3μA at one measurement per second, falling to just less than 1μA in standby mode. An integrated FIFO that stores the last 32 measurements helps to further reduce overall system power consumption by extending the time that a host processor can remain in sleep mode between sensor readouts.
 
The DPS310 provides reliable and accurate performance at pressures from 300hPa to 1200hPa and at temperatures from -40°C to 85°C. Multiple measurement and resolution modes allow the device to be optimized to the target application. For example, one-time measurement can be configured for GPS altitude accuracy, while the option to take several measurements per second will address the needs of gesture recognition. Each sensor is calibrated individually and has onboard the calibration coefficients for accurate compensation of measured pressure and temperature values. Sensor measurement data and calibration coefficients are available through the sensor’s I2C/SPI digital interface.
 
“Pressure sensors are becoming an essential part of mobile and wearable gadgets. With regard to IoT the pressure sensor is also an important building block of integrated consumer sensor solutions,” says Dr. Roland Helm, Segment Head Sensors at Infineon Technologies. “Built on proven semiconductor processes and combining ultra-high-resolution, good temperature stability, low-power operation and miniature package size, the DPS310 enables developers to improve the functionality and enhance the user experience in applications ranging from assisted location and navigation through sport and fitness to real-time weather monitoring.”
 
Availability

Engineering samples of the DPS310 are available in May 2015 with volume production planned for Q3 2015. Infineon will support design-in with starter kits and evaluation boards. The DPS310 operates at a supply voltage of 1.7V to 3.6V. It is supplied in a space saving 8-pin LGA package with dimensions of only 2.0mm x 2.5 mm x1.0mm.

Infineon Announces 650V IGBTs with Highest Efficiency for Fast Switching in Electric and Hybrid Vehicles
 
Munich, Germany

Infineon Technologies AG (FSE: IFX / OTCQX: IFNNY) has announced a family of robust 650V IGBTs that can deliver highest efficiency in fast switching automotive applications. The AEC-Q-qualified TRENCHSTOP™5 AUTO IGBTs will reduce power losses and improve reliability in electric vehicle (EV) and hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) applications such as on-board charging, power factor correction (PFC), DC/DC and DC/AC conversion.
 
The new IGBTs have a blocking voltage 50V higher than previous automotive IGBTs and achieve their ‘best-in-class’ efficiency ratings due to Infineon’s TRENCHSTOP 5 thin wafer technology. Compared with existing ‘state-of-the-art’ technologies, this technology reduces saturation voltage (VCE(sat)) by 200mV, halves switching losses, and lowers gate charge by a factor of 2.5. Improved switching and conduction losses also support lower junction and case temperatures than alternative technologies, leading to enhanced device reliability and minimizing the need for cooling.
 
By using TRENCHSTOP 5 AUTO IGBTs, designers of electric vehicles will realize efficiency gains that enable extended cruising ranges or smaller battery sizes. In the case of HEVs, the efficiency improvements can be used to reduce overall fuel consumption and drive down CO2 emissions. In addition, the performance of the TRENCHSTOP 5 AUTO devices allows also entering MOSFET dominated applications and offering designers a wider spectrum of suitable semiconductor base technologies.
 
Featuring current ratings of 40A or 50A, TRENCHSTOP 5 AUTO IGBTs are available as single discrete IGBT device or co-packaged with an Infineon ultra-fast “Rapid” silicon diode. In each case the two variants H5 HighSpeed and F5 HighSpeed FAST can be supplied depending on whether optimized switching speed or highest possible efficiency is the overriding design criteria.
 
Efficiency Gain Example

For a typical PFC used in on-board chargers the replacement of current ‘state-of-the-art’ technologies by TRENCHSTOP 5 AUTO IGBTs has been shown to deliver an efficiency increase from 97.5% to 97.9%. In the case of a 3.3kW charger this equates to a power loss reduction of 13W. Assuming a charging time of five hours, this would be equivalent to reducing CO2 emissions by 30g in a single charging cycle.
 
Availability

The 650V TRENCHSTOP 5 AUTO IGBTs are supplied in TO-247 packages. Engineering samples are available now, with volume production scheduled for March 2015. Further information on the new 650V TRENCHSTOP 5 AUTO IGBTs from Infineon is available at www.infineon.com/discrete-automotive-igbt.
