Essential solutions for hairstyling devices

Infineon's broad portfolio of advanced digital processing and power solutions provides all the essential components of a smart and reliable hairstyling device. The PSoC™ microcontroller family combines all wireless connectivity and user interface features into one simple integrated solution. Infineon’s CIPOS™ Intelligent Power Module offers the most energy-efficient solution for BLDC motor drive on the market, with a broad class of different packages and a wide voltage range. Combined with a first-class selection of low and medium-voltage power MOSFETs, Infineon’s broad offering represents an established one-stop reference for designing cutting-edge hairstyling technology.

With a clear industry shift towards 3.7-V Li-Ion batteries and more compact devices, efficiently maintaining high output power levels becomes more challenging every day. With Infineon's OptiMOS™ and StrongIRFET™ next-generation low and medium-voltage MOSFETs, designing long-lasting devices capable of powering multiple user features from the battery becomes an easy task.

Hybrid concepts are getting increasingly popular for hairstyling applications. Products such as hot-air brushes and hair curlers will need to drive a BLDC motor, a brushed DC motor and heating elements all at the same time. Infineon enables a quick and effortless design with top-grade motor drive control solutions: the low-voltage IR MOSFET™ family for brushed DC motors and the CIPOS™ Intelligent Power Modules for BLDC motors. The PSoC™ microcontroller completes the package with an intelligent and agile central processor for connectivity and touch interface.
