Automotive body electronics

Advance your designs with our automotive body electronics solutions for car access, auxiliary motor control, seat control, door control, and more.

About

Automotive body electronics manage the comfort, access, and motion functions that define modern vehicle interiors. Key application areas include car access, auxiliary motor control for window, wiper, roof, and seat systems, seat comfort, and door & closure systems — each requiring high-quality, scalable semiconductors.

As vehicle body electronics evolve, scalability, low power consumption, and reliable communication become essential. Infineon's comprehensive automotive body electronics portfolio — spanning power ICs, MOSFETs, microcontrollers, and integrated system ICs — is designed for the demanding automotive environment and backed by deep system know-how and dedicated design support to help accelerate your time to market. 

Automotive car access systems control how drivers and passengers enter, start, and secure their vehicles. Modern implementations include passive entry and passive start (PEPS), remote keyless entry (RKE), immobilizers, NFC-based digital car keys, and ultra-wideband (UWB) ranging for precise localization.

These systems demand high security, low-power operation, and reliable authentication. Infineon offers a dedicated semiconductor portfolio for automotive car access applications — including security controllers, UHF and UWB transceivers, and system ICs trusted by vehicle manufacturers worldwide.

Auxiliary motor control is central to automotive body electronics, powering comfort and convenience features such as window lifts, windshield wipers, seat adjustment, roof systems, and door actuators. These motors operate in demanding environments and require efficient, protected motor drivers that handle a wide load range reliably.

Infineon offers both 12 V and 48 V auxiliary motor control solutions optimized for body electronics applications. The portfolio includes gate drivers, intelligent half-bridges, H-bridge ICs, and SPI-configurable motor control ICs designed for the harsh automotive environment. Scalable solutions for single- and multi-axis control support your full range of body application motor designs. 

Automotive seat control and comfort electronics manage electrically adjustable functions, from seat position adjustment to lumbar support, heating, ventilation, and massage. As vehicles integrate more comfort electronics, the semiconductors managing seat systems must be efficient, compact, and highly reliable.

Infineon's portfolio for automotive seat comfort and control includes motor drivers for multi-axis seat adjustment, LIN-connected system ICs, and Hall-effect sensors for accurate position detection. Solutions are optimized for low quiescent current, EMC compliance, and automotive safety standards — enabling intelligent seat comfort electronics across all vehicle segments.

Door control and smart power closure are core elements of automotive body electronics, enabling effortless access and enhanced vehicle security. These systems include power windows, power doors, trunk and tailgate openers, and electronic latch controls — each requiring precise motor control, protected switching, and reliable network communication.

Infineon's semiconductor portfolio for automotive door control and smart power closure covers integrated motor drivers, high-side and low-side switches, microcontrollers with LIN/CAN interfaces, and smart power ICs. Our products deliver robustness, integration efficiency, and compliance with automotive safety requirements.

E-mirror modules and windshield wiper systems are safety-relevant exterior visibility functions in automotive body electronics — addressing key design challenges for Tier 1 suppliers and OEMs.

E-mirror modules
Infineon's System Basis Chip (SBC) integrates system supply (LDO and DC/DC), LIN communication, diagnostics, switching, and fail output in a single device — minimizing PCB space and power dissipation. Scalable single and multi half-bridge ICs with integrated MOSFETs and LED drivers support mirror positioning, folding with memory, side and blind spot indicators, and heating with low quiescent current across multi-platform vehicle architectures.

Windshield wiper systems
Infineon supports brushed DC and BLDC wiper motor architectures. Single half-bridge ICs deliver protected high-current PWM drives with overcurrent, overvoltage, and overtemperature protection. 32-bit motor control SoCs with integrated H-bridge drivers enable functional safety and energy-on-demand operation. GMR-based (TLE5012) and dual-channel TMR angle sensors achieve <1° angular error over temperature in ISO 26262-ready designs. High-precision Hall switches complete the motor commutation solution.
