Effective coordination of technology and markets would allow the Dutch high-tech industry to achieve more. As far as semicon man Joep Stokkermans is concerned, there is room for the chain to respond more effectively to market trends in the semiconductor industry. For chip manufacturer Nexperia in particular, completing the ecosystem is necessary for innovating, developing and applying semiconductor back-end-technology and equipment – because there is a great deal of money to be made from that technology and in order to improve the balance of power with Asia and the US. ‘In order to keep pace, we need to stay at the forefront of all the knowledge-intensive process steps. Otherwise sooner or later we will fall behind.’ Read more [Source: linkmagazine.nl]
The increasing number of electronic functions in modern cars must be realized within a given space. This space limitation has led to a growing device density on printed circuit boards (PCBs), necessitating components to shrink in size. However, smaller packages need to dissipate the same amount of heat on a reduced footprint, leading to a higher power density on the board. Read more
The Dallas design center is Nexperia’s first research and development facility in North America and will focus on the development of analog signal conversion and power management ICs. According to Irene Deng, general manager business group, Power and Signal Conversion at Nexperia, who will head up the new center: “The Dallas design center represents an important company milestone for several reasons. It demonstrates Nexperia’s commitment to establishing R&D activity in North America and it will also enable Nexperia to expand and strengthen the analog IC portfolio, power management ICs and signal conditioning ICs.” Read more

Autonomous driving is one of the big trends predicted to change the future of the automotive industry. Its successful adoption is dependent on overcoming barriers such as the need for more safety and information for the driver and the passengers. This in turn is driving the development of Advanced Driver Assist Systems (ADAS) and safety infotainment applications for use in future autonomous vehicles. Nexperia’s latest whitepaper – ESD Protection for Automotive High-Speed Video Links, by Andreas Hardock and Lukas Droemer, explains how to protect high-speed video links in automotive interfaces without compromising signal integrity.

TU Delft and the Dutch semiconductor equipment manufacturer ITEC, launch X.AL to research the next generation of green chip assembly processes and equipment concepts. Following market trends and the requirement for sustainable technologies, new chip assembly equipment must be faster, energy efficient and more compact. Read more [Source: tudelft.nl]
Power supplies are increasingly expected to reach heightened levels of efficiency, while still being as compact as possible, affordable and of course reliable and safe. One company overcoming these design challenges is Recom — an Austrian manufacturer of AC/DC power supplies and DC/DC. For a recent project, Recom wanted to develop a power supply which was primarily intended for medical applications. The goal was to create a solution which had double the power density of the company’s previous model without sacrificing safety, reliability, efficiency, or performance. Read more
Drivers and vehicles now rely more heavily on Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). While the use of systems such as RADAR and LiDAR will be important here, ADAS in vehicles also relies heavily on high-quality video imagery. As vehicles become more autonomous, the quality of these video streams will be more important. From a design aspect, high-speed video link design needs to consider how to maintain the signal integrity needed in such a harsh environment. Read more
ITEC, the semiconductor equipment manufacturer founded in 1991 by Philips (now Nexperia), announced its launch as a separate independent entity. ITEC remains part of the Nexperia group. This move will allow ITEC to address the third-party market in time to serve the current semiconductor boom. It provides manufacturers worldwide access to disruptive manufacturing solutions that are built to last. Read more
NEXPERIA OBTAINS 100% OWNERSHIP OF NEWPORT WAFER FAB, TO BE RENAMED NEXPERIA NEWPORT
Nexperia, the expert in essential semiconductors, has completed the transaction to acquire Newport Wafer Fab (NWF), contributing to the company’s growth ambitions and investments to boost global production capacity. With the acquisition, Nexperia obtains 100% ownership of the Welsh semiconductor production facility. Nexperia Newport will continue to have a strong position in the Welsh ecosystem and technology development and will secure the current jobs at the Newport site and others across the region. Read more
Back in 2018, Nexperia released the first NextPower 100 V MOSFETs with industry leading low Qrr. The recent addition of new 80 V and 100 V devices delivers further improved RDS(on) and enhanced Qrr FOM (figure of merit). With a range of RDS(on) to suit every application and budget, NextPower 80 V and NextPower 100 V MOSFETs are ideally suited for high-performance switching in a range of applications. But why should design engineers care about Qrr and Vsd? Read more
As data rates increase and vehicles feature more electric content, the need for EMC protection becomes more critical and providing the correct type of protection is a challenge for design engineers. Nexperia’s TrEOS technology optimizes the three pillars of ESD protection (Signal Integrity, System Protection and Robustness) to deliver devices with the ideal combination of low capacitance, low clamping voltage and high ESD robustness.
