At Infineon, we understand the importance of reducing global CO₂ emissions; fuel-cell electric vehicle technology plays a crucial role in this endeavor. Our comprehensive range of semiconductor solutions is specifically designed to enhance the efficiency and performance of electric vehicle subsystems, including fuel-cell electric air compressors. Our chipset solutions are optimized for seamless integration, offering superior system efficiency and dynamics across a wide range of air flow rates and compressor speeds. With a focus on cost-effectiveness and compact design, our fuel-cell air compressor chipset solution ensures a quiet and safe operation while protecting the fuel-cell stack from contamination.

HV thermal management e-compressors
Sustainable air compression solutions for fuel-cell EV drivetrains

Our comprehensive product portfolio encompasses fuel-cell electric air compressor chipset solutions designed to optimize efficiency and reliability, whether you are looking for passenger or commercial vehicle solutions. Air compressor systems are important for controlling air mass flow rate and air pressure. Infineon’s portfolio of CoolSiC™ MOSFET products are particularly suitable for air compressor systems due to their very low temperature-independent conducting losses, even at high switching frequencies. Our next-generation silicon carbide (SiC) power MOSFET technology offers designers an even higher degree of flexibility to enable increased efficiency and reliability in fuel-cell air compressor systems.

Automotive-qualified range of fuel-cell compressors

Designed to meet the stringent requirements of automotive applications, our compressor chipset solutions offer unparalleled performance and reliability. Our fully automotive-qualified product portfolio supports a wide range of power classes with a compact design and high power density, allowing efficient integration into your design, be it modular or full integration to achieve system cost reduction.

To ease and speed up your development process, we offer dedicated software, design house partner contacts, reference designs, demo boards, and layout resources.
