How GaN is changing the future of semiconductors

European chipmaker Infineon is betting on next-generation power semiconductors - used in everything from ultra-high-speed cell phone chargers to electric vehicles - to spur growth in a sluggish broader chip market.   Power semiconductors are part of power management systems that can withstand high voltages and currents. Infineon is targeting advanced materials that are expected to have higher capacity and efficiency than traditional silicon-based power chips.   Adam White, the company's president for power and sensor systems, told Nikkei Asia that Infineon is particularly bullish on gallium nitride (GaN) chips. "Our goal is to be the [chip industry] leader in power systems," White said. "We see the tipping point for GaN happening in real time."   The company predicts that the market for GaN chips will grow at a rate of 56 percent per year through 2027.   Infineon recently disclosed an $830 million deal to acquire Ottawa chip designer GaN Systems to expand its pr

Who is the 15 Biggest AI Companies In The World

Artificial intelligence is leading a new era of science and technology. It already determines the efficiency, productivity, and revenue of today's businesses, and as a result, more than 50% of companies are gearing up to increase their AI spending. The following is a list of the leading AI development service providers worldwide.   We are all witnessing how AI is powering Industry 4.0. It has to be said that business giants cannot afford to ignore AI. Every company, from the smallest local business to the largest global one, must confront the intelligence revolution and determine how and where AI will have the greatest impact on its operations. Companies like Walmart, Amazon, Tesla, AirBnB, Alibaba, etc., are using AI to their advantage and are outsmarting many emerging players.   New entrepreneurs are looking at AI stocks as an excellent long-term investment. Almost every industry is waking up to the power of AI, and with the launch of OpenAI's ChatGPT chatbot, the AI world is

25 billion dollars! Infineon has made its biggest single investment in Texas Instruments to build another wafer factory

Recently, Infineon , Renesas , Texas Instruments, Rapidus and other chip giants have started to build new wafer plants, the industry estimates that the four major companies in the production expansion of the amount of 25 billion dollars.   Infineon: 5 billion euros to build a factory in Germany, the largest single investment in history   On Feb. 16, Infineon said it had received approval to build a 5 billion euro ($5.35 billion) chip plant in Dresden,  Germany, scheduled to start production in 2026 . Infineon said it would be the largest single investment in its history and was expected to create about 1,000 jobs. The company is seeking 1 billion euros in public funds for the project.   Infineon also said the planned plant, which will produce power semiconductors and analog/mixed-signal components, would generate roughly the same annual revenue as the investment at full capacity.   The German economy ministry approved early projects for the plant, allowing Infineon to start constructio

What is the future of the analog chips price?Get weaker?

Analog IC as the second wave of the drive IC into the stock price correction of the group, the stock price almost compared to the high point has been cut, the market re-examination of the possibility of this group. In terms of fundamentals, as most of the applications are focused on consumer electronics-related industries, orders are still quite weak in the first quarter, and new pulling power may start after April at the earliest. However, inventories are still high, so it will take time to wait for new momentum or new film investment.   From the perspective of this year's operating structure, the situation of the top and bottom of the second half of the year seems to have been settled, but it is still impossible to say how the demand will rebound in the second half of the year. However, from the perspective of the volume of open cases, it is understood that the general willingness of brand customers to develop new products is still high, most according to the original plan, but i

Difference Between chip, module and development board

  1. From the shape.   1.1 Chip   Yes, this small black silicon chip is the "chip" itself (usually smaller than a thumb, integrated inside the hardware integrated circuits to achieve specific functions). 1.2 Module   The module developed from the above chip looks like this.       From the appearance, the module is much brighter than the chip (at least, you can see the copper foil, the pins), and that black ESP32 chip is inside him.   1.3 Development board   The development board developed by the above module looks like this.   Yes, the part marked ESP-WROOM-32 on the development board is the "module" above. The development board is much more luxurious than the "module" (finally, there are buttons, USB ports, and LEDs), do you want to write a program to light up the LEDs immediately?   2.  Development Mode   Want to light up LED lights? Wait! Let's talk about how to burn the program into the chip, module, and development board.   First of all, it is dif
