European semiconductor manufacturer Infineon produces electronic components for a wide range of applications. Now that Arduino has become the de facto standard for fast prototyping tools, Infineon has created a line of Arduino Shields to let potential users evaluate a choice of Infineon products in an easy and comfortable manner.
European semiconductor manufacturer Infineon produces electronic components for a wide range of applications. Evaluation and development boards supporting these devices ease the life of design engineers. Now that Arduino has become the de facto standard for fast prototyping tools, Infineon too carries a line of Arduino Shields. Infineon for makers is what they call it.
Infineon specializes in automotive and power electronics, and digital security. Therefore it will come as no surprise that the shields revolve around these application domains.
In this free article we will look in more detail at a number of these shields. Brushed and brushless motor driver shields can be had from Infineon, as well as high- and low-side load switch shields. From sensors and LED controllers to Arduino-compatible microcontroller boards, Infineon covers them all.
Respecting common maker-scene conventions, open-source Arduino libraries support the shields and the hardware designs are available as Eagle files; GitHub is where you go to get these goodies.
Elektor Magazine has been one of the leading sources of information on electronics for engineers, designers, start-ups and companies for 65 years. Our magazine is powered by an active community of electronics engineers – from students to professionals – who are passionate about designing and sharing innovative ideas.
For them, we publish hundreds of items a year, in formats such as articles, videos, webinars, and other learning formats. Our mission is to share knowledge in every possible way and inspire readers with the latest developments within the electrical engineering sector.
