Microwave oven
The global market for the ubiquitous microwave oven is huge. But with so many competing manufacturers, there’s high pressure for low prices. For consumers to pay more, microwave ovens must be reliable, energy efficient and packed with features that distinguish them from the masses. Consumer-driven benefits – faster cooking, enhanced cooking functions as well as straightforward cleaning and safety features – weigh in big. And there’s an enormous push to launch products as quickly as possible.
Inverterized microwave ovens are gained popularity due to the better efficiency and increased power control with a still reasonable price. The interiorization helps to reduce the stress produced by continuously switching the magnetron on and off, thus guaranteeing a long lifetime.
By selecting Infineon components, you can easily set your designs apart from the crowd. We make it easy for you to meet consumer needs with our wide-ranging portfolio. It features reliable and top-quality products, including IGBTs specifically for microwave ovens, and the elements required to drive these switches. With Infineon, you have the added benefit of seamless functionality among all our products, from IGBTs to drivers to controllers and more. Take a look in our portfolio and easily find the right semiconductor for your microwave oven designs.
