The company will also demonstrate products and platforms for automotive engine control, vehicle lighting, and door/window control. Additionally, airbag system components and new remote keyless locking and entry chipsets are on display.
While Infineon products typically are optimized for performance in specific applications, they share common elements driven by the company's 30-year history as a supplier to the automotive electronics industry. This includes Automotive Excellence, the company's commitment to meeting the quality and reliability requirements of automotive applications. This comprehensive program has seen the company achieve unprecedented levels of quality, with less than 1 percent of all products having a failure rate of more than 3 part per million (PPM), and more than 60 percent of all products across its automotive portfolio having a failure rate of 0 ppm.
Infineon also is active in the technical sessions that are an important part of the conference. Dr. Reinhard Ploss, COO of the AIM Business Unit, is a member of the Convergence 2006 Technical Council, and Chair of the "Long Term Drivetrain" Technical Session (October 18, 2:30 - 5:00 p.m). Patrick Leteinturier of Infineon's technical staff will present a paper on improved microcontroller performance and features as part of the "Drivetrain Technology and Progress" Technical Session (October 16, 2:00 - 5:00 p.m.).
"Looking at the level of innovation coming from the design and engineering groups at automotive OEM and supplier companies, it is hard to believe that the industry is more than 100 years old," said Christopher Cook, General Manager of the Automotive, Industrial and Multimarket (AIM) Business Group, Infineon Technologies North America Corp. "Every aspect of the modern car is open to rethinking and rapid evolution, and Infineon is very excited to be a part of the reinvention of personal transportation systems that is the focus of the Convergence conference."
