The Internet of Things (IoT) is one of the key technology trends of our time – changing everything around us. Smart and connected objects link the real with the digital world, providing significant growth opportunities and benefits for society and business.

Infineon’s embedded solutions are at the heart of IoT technologies as they connect the real with the digital world. They allow devices to sense, control and communicate in an energy-efficient and secured way. With the acquisition of Cypress, we are evolving from a leader in semiconductor components to a true leader in system solutions that are made for the IoT.

The integration of Cypress was a major step for us and a unique opportunity for our customers. We gained a differentiated portfolio of microcontrollers, connectivity components, software ecosystems and high-performance memories. All of which perfectly complements our leading power semiconductors, automotive microcontrollers, sensors and security solutions.

Our mission is to make IoT technology ubiquitous. In order to fully leverage the potential arising from the Internet of Things, companies need a semiconductor partner that turns its broad application understanding and leading technologies into easy-to-use solutions, which include tailor-made security. These embedded solutions are the key enabler in transferring all kinds of “things” from the analog to the digital world. By providing instant, ready-to-use solutions, we free our customers up so they can focus on their area of excellence.

We provide the industry’s most comprehensive portfolio, making us the partner of choice.

Leveraging the potential of IoT with Infineon based on

• Easy-to-use solutions
• Broad application coverage
• Tailor-made security

Industrial applications require extremely reliable building blocks inspired by a profound system understanding. Smart power management is also critical to limit the electricity drain of connected factories and data centers. As the number one player in power, we are paving the way for sustainable energy generation and storage, smart factories and energy-efficient data centers through our efficient power management, intelligent motor control and advanced sensing capabilities.

With the broadest power device portfolio in the industry – spanning silicon, silicon carbide (CoolSiC™) and gallium nitride (CoolGaN™) technologies, we continue to set the pace for power solutions that support innovative design and meet the expectations and needs of modern designers.

Our power semiconductors are designed to deliver the robust performance and ultra-high power efficiency levels in the power densities and form factors demanded by smart factories. Our sensors and microcontrollers build more intelligence into factories by collecting, processing, analyzing and communicating vast amounts of data in real time to enable industrial automation. Even under the most demanding networked production conditions, you can rely on our highly accurate speed, position, angle and pressure measurement sensors to deliver superior motor control. In addition, our wireless communication and security solutions support a variety of use cases in the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT).

Semiconductors are essential enablers of key automotive trends like electro-mobility, automated driving and secured, connected cars. These trends are defining not only cars but also commercial, construction and agricultural vehicles.

As the #1 semiconductor partner in the fast-changing automotive world, Infineon is shaping the future of mobility by enabling clean, safe and smart vehicles. Our product and solution portfolio is powering the transition towards hybrid and pure electric vehicles, and towards higher levels of automation. Additionally, we support a steady stream of safety, convenience and lighting innovations and the growing electrification of previously hydraulic and electromechanical systems.

Our semiconductors are at the heart of vehicle electrification and the enabling infrastructure. They are helping to build energy efficiency into all steps of the energy supply chain and thus support all electrification scenarios. Building on decades of experience in automotive semiconductors, we offer a broad portfolio for electric and hybrid vehicles along with application solutions for key components such as the main inverter, the battery management system and the on-board charger.

The successful transition to fully connected, always online, all-electric, hybrid and autonomous cars calls for both technology and trust. Widespread adoption of higher automation levels (such as levels 3, 4 and 5) will depend on driver and passenger trust in the underlying technologies and electronics systems. Our dependable electronics solutions build on a zero-defect automotive quality mindset, a holistic functional safety approach, cybersecurity expertise and vast security system know-how. Spanning sensors, microcontrollers, memory solutions, power electronics, vehicle communications and power supply ICs, our trust-building portfolio enables reliable, robust, safe and secured systems that operate under all conditions.
