An H-bridge is a type of electronic circuit—commonly used to control motors in home appliances—in which each of the four branches of the “H” is home to a power transistor. A team of researchers and engineers from Leti, AMS, and Infineon successfully packaged an H-bridge on silicon. Compared to a conventional H-bridge, which is on […] >>

In early February, Ideas Laboratory© will supply Air Liquide, Bouygues Construction, and Suez with fifteen connected armband prototypes for factory and construction workers.  With a display that lets workers pinpoint their location on a map, look at task lists and technical drawings, and send and receive safety alerts, the connected armband developed by Ideas Laboratory© […] >>

Grenoble-based startup Diabeloop, founded in partnership with Leti and diabetes research center CERITD to develop an artificial pancreas for insulin-dependent diabetics, raised €13.5 million in July 2017. Aliad (an Air Liquide company), Supernova Invest funds, Sofimac Partners, Kreaxi, and two Crédit Agricole regional investment funds injected €7.5 million in fresh capital into the company. The […] >>

SigmaFusionTM, Leti’s data fusion system, was successfully embedded into Infineon’s Aurix microcontrollers, the first time Sigma Fusion has been executed on hardware designed for automotive applications. In general, the fusion of data from the environmental sensors in driverless cars requires huge processing power, something that is totally incompatible with automotive safety standards—which call for simple, […] >>

LED lamps offer a theoretical lifespan of around 50,000 hours of operation. In actual practice, however, LED lifespans are much shorter. This is due to the LEDs’ electronic driver and—in particular—the electrochemical condenser driver that transforms the high-voltage alternating current that comes off the grid into the low-voltage direct current that powers the LED. Researchers […] >>
