Electric power steering (EPS)

Electric power steering (EPS) offers a host of advantages to both cars and drivers. These range from up to 3% less fuel consumption and noticeable space savings to easier integration and software that enhances the driving experience. The foundation of any reliable and efficient EPS is a combination of optimized and powerful microcontrollers and power semiconductors. Together they enable your designs to achieve a new level of fuel savings and lower CO₂ emissions. What is more, as a safety critical application, an EPS design must be engineered with components that reliably work together.

With a proven track record and years of experience in the automotive sector, Infineon is the right partner for any electric power steering projects. Our components have been tested to ensure they work seamlessly and fulfill the highest-possible safety standards. Because our chipset is aligned in-house, you can count on it to deliver on safety while also reducing your development effort. Thanks to a small footprint, it also contributes to a lower BOM. Furthermore, our chipset accommodates OEMs looking to scale solutions between models, for greater cost efficiency. Last but not least, there’s the peace of mind you gain knowing all components are manufactured according to Infineon’s high automotive quality standards known as zero defect.
