Segments

We organize our operations in four segments: Automotive, Industrial Power Control, Power & Sensor Systems and Connected Secure Systems.

Automotive

The Automotive segment shapes the future of mobility with products and solutions to make cars clean, safe and smart. We cover all application areas in the vehicle: powertrain and energy management, connectivity and infotainment, body and comfort electronics, safety and security. Our range of products and solutions helps to navigate the transition from internal combustion engines to hybrid or electric drives, as well as enabling an ever-increasing degree of automated driving, electric-electronic (E/E) vehicle architecture and greater connectivity, digitization and a higher level of data security in vehicles. We also offer our customers innovative solutions in the areas of safety, the digital cockpit, infotainment, comfort and lighting technology. In addition to sensors, microcontrollers, a reliable power supply, high-performance memory ICs for specific applications and power semiconductors based on Si and SiC, our product portfolio also comprises components for human-machine interaction and vehicle connectivity. Infineon is the world market leader in semiconductor solutions for cars. (Reference: Strategy Analytics: Automotive Semiconductor Vendor Market Shares. April 2021).

Industrial Power Control

The Industrial Power Control segment specializes in semiconductor solutions for the intelligent management and efficient conversion of electric energy along the entire conversion chain: generation, transmission, storage and use. The product portfolio comprises mainly IGBT power transistors, driver ICs to control them, and power semiconductors based on SiC. The latter are becoming increasingly important for industrial applications. We offer the products in the Industrial Power Control segment, whether Si-based or SiC-based, in various form factors and with different levels of functionality. The segment’s broad application spectrum includes motor control units for industrial manufacturing and building technology, inverters for photovoltaic and wind power systems, home appliances, traction, electric utility vehicles (such as buses and construction and agricultural vehicles), systems for high-voltage direct current transmission and energy storage, industrial power supplies and the charging infrastructure for electric vehicles. Our focus is on integration and digitization.

Power & Sensor Systems

The Power & Sensor Systems segment encompasses a large selection of technologies relating to power semiconductors, radio frequency and sensors. We use these technologies to make electronic devices like power supplies, power tools, lighting systems, mobile devices and industrial and consumer applications smaller, lighter and more energy-efficient, as well as to develop new functionalities. We are drawing on the next generation of new, innovative solutions based on Si, SiC and GaN for applications in the areas of 5G, big data, power supplies and adapters, battery-powered devices, and renewable energy. Our portfolio of products for power supplies, comprising control ICs, drivers and MOSFET power transistors, addresses the two key requirements of the market: efficiency and power density. Infineon is the clear market leader in the global Si MOSFET market*. Our high-precision sensor solutions give IoT devices “human senses”, enabling them to react intuitively to their surroundings. The portfolio is rounded off with USB controllers and radio frequency products such as RF antenna switches, RF power transistors and GPS low-noise amplifiers.

Connected Secure Systems

The Connected Secure Systems segment provides comprehensive systems for a secure, connected world based on reliable, game-changing microcontrollers and wireless connectivity solutions and security solutions. In particular, we offer microcontroller solutions, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth solutions, and combined connectivity solutions (known as combo chips), along with hardware-based security technologies and an efficient software environment for the programming and configuration of the microcontrollers and connectivity components that cover many application areas: devices for IoT applications, connected home appliances and smart home appliances, IT equipment, consumer electronics, cloud security and connected vehicles, as well as credit and debit cards, electronic passports and national identity cards. With our technologies in the areas of computing, connectivity and security, we are contributing significantly towards ensuring that current and future connected systems are reliably protected, since communication and data security go hand in hand.
