Full power for greater energy efficiency

The teams in Villach are already working on the next generation of chips, made of new materials such as silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN). These chips can convert power much more efficiently, making units smaller and lighter.

The goal in the automotive research field is to design the next generation of vehicles. The top trends are: electromobility, autonomous driving and increasing integration within and between vehicles. Power electronics, microcontroller solutions and sensor technologies designed in Villach enable innovative applications for the cars of the future.

Technical expertise at Villach contributes to the connection of the real with the digital world. Specifically, the development teams focus in analog mixed-signal solutions in the areas of power management, microcontrollers, clock systems, sensors, driver circuits for high-voltage switches and converters, amplifier circuits and various other analog circuits.
