Recently, German semiconductor manufacturer Infineon announced that it has reached a final agreement with Micross: the brand will sell part of the HiRel DC-DC power converter business to Micross, and still retain the sensor industry. Professional information shows that power converters, also known as AC converters, are a type of transformer; DC/DC converters can be converted into higher or lower voltage devices. The quasi-battery technology and high-performance modular power converters will help electric vehicles reduce weight. Infineon intends to increase its core business investment in one fell swoop by selling its business. In addition, due to the rapid growth of downstream demand, Infineon has also expanded the procurement of silicon carbide materials. In the past, some media said that the brand may also spin off the DRAM business instead of selling it.

Infineon focuses on meeting the three major technological challenges of modern society: high energy efficiency , mobility and security, providing semiconductor and system solutions for automotive and industrial power devices, chip cards and security applications.

In fact, in 2011, Infineon completed the sale of its mobile phone chip business. Late last year, Infineon, a chipmaker, was preparing to spend billions of dollars on acquisitions. In 2023, Infineon's strategic shift is: sell the DC-DC converter business, focus on autonomous driving, and emphasize the globalization of the chip supply chain.

Go straight to the 2023 CES and you will find that: smart driving has become a must-have, and chip and lidar manufacturers are showing off their "muscles"! Just a few days ago, Infineon released solutions such as the latest advanced driver assistance system during the 2023 CES; it achieved a sustainable future through smart home, electric vehicles and Internet of Things security solutions; and Aurora Labs also cooperated with Infineon Jointly showed the brand new OT!
· In the field of power supply, in addition to the breakthrough made by Infineon, CORSAIR recently launched the RMx Shift series power supply with a new design of interface side. Corsair was founded in 1994 by Don Lieberman, John Beekley and Andy Paul. Last year, CORSAIR launched a new Thunderbolt 4 docking station. It supports dual 4K monitors. The point is, the docking station can provide a maximum power supply of 96W! User groups have said: CORSAIR power supply has absolute strength, so it can bring surging power!
· It is reported that another world-renowned semiconductor manufacturer ROHM's innovative power supply technology can greatly improve the response performance of power supply ICs! As early as 2012, ROHM had made a new breakthrough in power IC technology in the field of automotive semiconductors. Last year, ROHM established "QuiCurTM," an innovative power supply technology that pursues the responsiveness of power supply ICs.
