Digi-Key Announces Expansion of Infineon Technologies Product Line
Thief River Falls, Minnesota - May 29, 2007 - Electronic component distributor Digi-Key Corporation announced today the broad expansion of its Infineon Technologies product offering to include Infineon's power semiconductors, discretes, sensors, wireless control products, communication ICs and microcontrollers.
Within the Infineon microcontroller (MCU) family, Digi-Key now offers the XC166 and C166 16-bit, XC800 and C500 8-bit, and TriCore 32-bit families of MCUs. The XC166 family with pipelined 16-bit core architecture, optimized with real-time embedded control peripherals, offers a wide range of performance variations. The new and advanced XC800 family of 8-bit microcontrollers offers a wide selection of products, combining a high performance 8051 core with on-chip flash and ROM memory as well as a powerful mix of peripherals such as an enhanced CAPCOM (CC6), CAN, LIN and 10-bit ADC. The TriCore is the first unified, single-core, 32-bit microcontroller-DSP architecture optimized for real-time embedded systems. The TriCore Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) combines the real-time capability of a microcontroller, the computational power of a DSP and the high performance/price features of a RISC load/store architecture in a compact reprogrammable core. A wide range of products scalable in performance, memory and peripherals will make it easy for design engineers to best fit their application.
A top supplier of power semiconductors, Infineon also provides Digi-Key with power products ranging from MOSFETs, protected switches to Power ICs and diodes.
Featured in Digi-Key's print and online catalogs, these and hundreds of other products stocked by Digi-Key are available for immediate shipment and comprise one of the industry's largest inventories of Infineon products.
Headquartered in Munich, Germany, Infineon Technologies offers semiconductor and system solutions addressing three central challenges to modern society - energy efficiency, connectivity and security. Infineon operates in the US from Milpitas, Calif., in the Asia-Pacific region from Singapore and in Japan from Tokyo.
