Infineon's XENSIV™ 60 GHz radar technology enables a new form of interaction between users and devices. It enables sensing presence and movement of people with high precision. The chip is very small (5x6.5 mm) and has extremely low power consumption. The technology has already been integrated into a smartphone for the first time ever to enable gesture control.

In addition, speakers need to be powered in an efficient and space-saving manner – no consumer is happy with a speaker power supply that distracts from the elegantly designed main device. Alternatively, even worse is a power supply that destroys the main speaker due to overvoltage. Efficient and robust MOSFETs and drivers are therefore a key requirement and can easily be met with Infineon’s long expertise in power systems design.

Infineon's XENSIV™ MEMS microphones offer exceptional performance, addressing limitations in the audio chain. They provide reliable and sensitive audio input for voice systems, ensuring high-quality data for voice processing algorithms. Infineon assists in easy integration and fast time to market, supporting the development of successful digital audio assistant designs. These microphones are ideal for implementing voice-controlled user interfaces in various products, such as smart speakers, TVs, and home appliances. They enable natural and intuitive interaction between users and digital assistants, delivering a best-in-class voice experience. Infineon MEMS microphones excel in picking up softly spoken or whispered voice commands, accommodating multi-room scenarios, and enhancing regular voice interactions. Furthermore, Infineon's design solutions help reduce costs and save space by eliminating the need for buttons and minimizing the number of microphones required in certain applications. Overall, Infineon empowers users to create innovative and cost-effective voice-controlled products with exceptional system benefits.

CIRRENT™ product analytics offers cloud software solutions to enhance the performance, reliability, and connectivity of IoT products.

Combo solutions are available for both 1x1 SISO with up to 433 Mbps PHY data rates and 2x2 MIMO with up to 867 Mbps PHY data rates. We support our Wi-Fi + Bluetooth® customers through our global IoT partners using production-ready, fully certified AIROC™ Wi-Fi + Bluetooth® combos modules based on Linux and RTOS-based platforms.

The PSOC™ 4000 family delivers the industry’s best capacitive-sensing technology, CAPSENSE™, to implement buttons, sliders, and proximity sensors for touch control.

We recommend using either PSOC™ 4000S or PSOC™ 4100S, depending on how many I/Os or touch buttons are needed. The PSOC™ 4000 family is a cost-optimized, entry-level family of Arm® Cortex®-M0 and M0+ microcontrollers. The PSOC™ 4100 family adds intelligent analog integration through programmable analog blocks. Programmable analog blocks include analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), digital-to-analog converters (DACs), low-power comparators, and operational amplifiers (opamps). The PSOC™ 4100BL includes an integrated Bluetooth® low Energy radio & subsystem.

If you require a metallic overlay for an HMI solution, PSOC™ 4700S with noise-immune, inductive- and capacitive-sensing user interface is the best choice. The PSOC™ 4700 family adds advanced sensing technologies to sense anything including advanced capacitive sensing, inductive sensing, heart-rate sensing, and more. These advanced sensing technologies leverage specialized analog blocks in the PSOC™ 4 portfolios to deliver innovative solutions to next-generation designs.
