Infineon and SCHWEIZER extend cooperation in chip embedding to develop more efficient silicon carbide automotive solutions

MUNICH and SCHRAMBERG, GERMANY – Media OutReach – 26 April 2023 – Infineon Technologies AG (FSE: IFX / OTCQX: IFNNY) and Schweizer Electronic AG (ETR: SCE) are collaborating on an innovative way to further increase the efficiency of chips based on silicon carbide (SiC). Both partners are developing a solution to embed Infineon’s 1200 V CoolSiC™ chips directly onto printed circuit boards (PCB). This will increase the range of electric vehicles and reduce the total system costs.

Infineon and SCHWEIZER will showcase the 1200 V CoolSiC chip embedding technology at PCIM Europe 2023 in Nuremberg, at the Infineon booth 412 in Hall 7

The two companies have already demonstrated the potential of this new approach: They were able to embed a 48 V MOSFET in the PCB. This resulted in a 35 percent increase in performance. SCHWEIZER contributes to this success with its innovative p²Pack® solution which enables power semiconductors to be embedded in PCBs.

“With Infineon’s 100 percent electrically tested standard cells (S-Cell), we can achieve high overall yields in the p² Pack manufacturing process,” said Thomas Gottwald, Vice President Technology at Schweizer Electronic AG. “The fast-switching characteristics of the CoolSiC chips are optimally supported by the low-inductance interconnection that can be achieved with the p² Pack. This leads to increased efficiency and improved reliability of power conversion units such as traction inverters, DC-DC converters, or on-board chargers.”

Infineon and SCHWEIZER will showcase the 1200 V CoolSiC chip embedding technology at PCIM Europe 2023 in Nuremberg, at the Infineon booth 412 in Hall 7. SCHWEIZER will also be at the trade fair (booth 410 in Hall 6).Hashtag: #Infineon #Schweizer #Siliconcarbide #Automotive

Bybit CEO Visits Turkey to Back Growth of Crypto in the Region

ISTANBUL, TURKEY – Media OutReach – 26 April 2023 – Last week, Ben Zhou, co-founder and CEO of top crypto exchange Bybit visited Turkey to meet with affiliates, start-ups, and clients to discuss how best to support crypto adoption in the region and pave the way for sustainable growth. Zhou said the Bybit team will use information gleaned from their meetings to better hone Bybit’s offerings.

Bybit is expanding its presence in Turkey with a renewed focus on gaining new users by emphasizing the trustworthiness and reliability of its platform. With trust being a top priority for the Turkish target audience, the company is taking concrete actions to reinforce its Listen, Care, and Improve principles.

“As a global exchange, Bybit understands the importance of localized communities in driving the adoption of cryptocurrencies,” said Zhou. “Turkey has emerged as a strategic market for crypto and we were one of the first global exchanges to establish a Turkish community and to build a local team.”

Turkey has seen a significant rise in crypto adoption in recent years as its citizens have sought to diversify their savings and means of wealth creation.

Zhou met with clients and opinion leaders who endorsed Bybit as having the “trust element,” a superior user experience, and “fast communication.” Transparency is a cornerstone of Bybit’s policy and the exchange is committed to working with regulators to ensure compliance and safety.

The security of funds was high on the agenda for many of the Turkish affiliates who met with Zhou, and they were keen to learn more about Bybit’s multi-level authentication protocols, anti-fraud systems, and 24/7 proof-of-reserves. And when it comes to secure on-off ramps, allowing traders to move between crypto and fiat balances, Bybit is expanding these options for Turkish users, too.

“Turkey is a key market for our industry and Bybit is proud to be at the forefront of this movement,” Zhou added. “Our commitment to the region is unwavering, and I am excited to see what the future holds for Bybit and the Turkish crypto community.”
