Automotive

Infineon technologies’ sustained success in automotive electronics is attributed to a consistent focus on automotive applications and their requirements, a profound understanding of the automotive system based on almost 40 years of experience and a broad innovative product portfolio of outstanding quality.
Infineon supplies the automotive industry with sensors, microcontrollers and power semiconductors that contribute to a more sustainable mobility in terms of reduced fuel consumption/emissions, improved safety and affordability.

Reducing road fatalities
Infineon provides solutions in order to optimize chipsets that will lead to better systems that will reduce the number of road fatalities. For example, tire pressure sensor systems are required by legislation in the uS, and Infineon has gained a leading position in this field. Safety systems are becoming more proactive, in that they act before accidents occur (e.g. adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning) instead of only reacting when these happen.

Contributing to the environment
The increased mobility of today’s modern lifestyle comes at the cost of higher CO2 emissions and consumption of ever scarcer natural resources. Personal transportation is evolving to ensure future personal mobility with lower emissions than those we have today. Electronic components are a key to this improved energy efficiency. To help save energy and reduce pollution, Infineon delivers innovative high-performance solutions with best-in-class technologies for hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), which represent one of the most efficient energy conversion approaches for personal transportation.

Meeting increased data security demand
As system complexity increases so does the quantity of data to be processed and distributed. Automakers therefore need to ensure that information is processed securely, avoiding external access or manipulation attempts (e.g. car tuning, counterfeit spare parts). Additionally, new payment methods, such as parking or road tolls, are based on the availability of secure transaction data. Infineon can provide years of expertise in chip card and identification
systems in order to enable data security to become reality.

With our components delivering cost-effectiveness, high efficiency and power density, Infineon is driving the future of automotive electronics.
