Highlights

Generation, transmission and storage

As the leading manufacturer of power semiconductors for wind power and photovoltaic components, we not only enable the most climate-friendly energy generation and storage, we also promote the competitiveness of this type of power generation by improving the efficiency and miniaturization of wind  and photovoltaic systems.

We continue to set the pace for innovation in this area, enabling more efficient energy generation – especially from renewable sources, to be transmitted and distributed with reduced losses and to be used more efficiently across the widest application spectrum.

The key to the next significant step in energy efficiency lies in the use of technologies such as SiC (Silicon Carbide) and GaN (Gallium Nitride). They enable higher power efficiency, a smaller form factor and lower weight. 

Here are some of our highlights: 

• Discover new opportunities for inverter designs to realize never-before-seen levels of power density and efficiency with CoolSiC™ MOSFET power modules. Additional features are also available, such as pre-applied Thermal Interface Material (TIM) or high-performance aluminum nitride (AlN) ceramic, that significantly improve thermal performance
• Go for the best combination of performance and reliability for solar energy systems, UPS, motor control, and drives – CoolSiC™ 1200V M1H with .XT interconnection technology for best-in-class thermal performance.
• Excel in your system design with the best fit for CoolSiC™ power devices – the EiceDRIVER™ X3 and F3

Industrial automation & data centers 

The transformation to smart factories and data centers for environmental sustainability and operational competitiveness is on its way.

As the #1 supplier in power semiconductors, we empower industrial automation and pave the way for smart, safe and sustainable manufacturing. Our solutions for efficient power management, intelligent motor control, advanced sensing capabilities, reliable connectivity components, and scalable, easy-to-integrate security facilitate the creation of autonomous production in which people, machines, systems and products communicate with each other independently. This is intended to make production more flexible, more scalable and more efficient. This results in intelligent value chains and product life cycles that begin with development, continue through manufacturing, assembly, product delivery and maintenance, and finally end with recycling.

Digitalization is driving the growing need for data centers. This growth is energized for example by a digital lifestyle, working from home, remote education and healthcare. Additionally, it drives the cloud business. The rising demand for data-based services leads to increased energy consumption in data centers themselves. Our solutions enable improved system architectures with higher reliability, efficient power supply and lower cooling requirements. Wide-bandgap technologies like GaN  will become a key lever for improvements in this area. These technologies have a huge impact on cost savings and the reduction of CO₂ emissions.

Here are some of our highlights: 

• Si and WBG based highly efficient and high density power supplies for server and telecom
• High-density scalable GaN intermediate bus converter for 48V data center architecture

Smart home:

To shorten time-to-market, we offer a ready-to-use 84 W power tool charger reference design featuring ICC80QSG, which allows for increased efficiency, even during standby

Smart building:

We offer a comprehensive semiconductor portfolio for leading-edge solutions in smart buildings. Our sensor solutions allow for contextual awareness and condition monitoring of devices across all domains in smart buildings. They thus provide data-driven insights into building operations, increase tenants' comfort levels and enable energy savings, ensuring that devices run at their optimum performance and are only ON when needed. Processing this information based on our controller portfolio enables real-time adjustments in building operations with intelligent actuators and power management ICs.

Our XENSIV™ sensors, hardware security and microcontroller portfolios provide the basis for condition monitoring and predictive maintenance. Jointly with our partners Klika Tech & AWS, Infineon enables smoothly running and reliable smart building operations by detecting failures early on – from single components of production machinery to the entire building ecosystem.

As a thought leader and the number one supplier of highly efficient power semiconductors for automotive applications, we are accelerating the transition to an electrified, decarbonized mobility landscape. Targeting all electric drives, from mild-hybrid through fully electric batteries to fuel-cell electrical vehicles, our solutions are bringing higher levels of efficiency to passenger cars as well as to commercial vehicles and traction.

Our leading power solutions for traction inverters, on-board chargers, DC-DC converters and battery management systems support efforts to rapidly expand the e-charging infrastructure for greater convenience and acceptance among drivers.

By combining a one-stop, scalable range spanning the entire "sense-control-actuate" functional spectrum with our broad and deep competence in automotive, we facilitate the design-in process while also helping our customers leverage synergies at the application, system and vehicle levels.

Looking to the future, we are also enabling the growing adoption of hydrogen as a viable alternative to battery-only drive systems for long-haul trucks and long-distance driving in particular. This reflects our commitment to supporting all paths towards a climate-friendly and carbon-free future.
