Already have an idea or a project you would like to share with Infineon? For customized solutions, please contact us.

Infineon as a market leader in customized solutions believes innovation comes through collaboration and exploring new paths. Working closely with our customers, understanding their needs, and combining with our cutting-edge solutions, we know there is always a benefit for every customer. 

Whether the challenge is related to IP, BOM constraints, or simply requiring higher integration, an ASIC can be the solution. We have access to a huge library of IPs that can be used as building blocks for new ASICs. Whether it is digital, analog, mixed-signal ASICs, an embedded processor, or integrated sensors - we have the experience and product know-how.

We can integrate almost anything into your chip from the vast variety of our sensors, discrete devices, drivers, and much more.

If the challenge is related to protecting your IP, reducing system costs, higher performance, or simply the need for higher integration, an ASIC can be the solution.

A collaborative journey begins with the feasibility of developing custom semiconductors (ASICs) with our 40 years of expertise. We assess the feasibility of your needs and provide a comprehensive solution from project start to production. We welcome various product ideas, including modifying existing standard products, integrating functions from off-the-shelf products, utilizing existing FPGAs, providing ASIC requirements, or specifying an ASIC with integrated functions. We offer a wide range of IP and ASIC technologies and focus on optimizing performance, cost, power, thermal requirements, efficiency, and form-factors for the entire system. The concept involves defining ASIC integration concepts, project setups, and timelines. We offer SoC or SiP options and emphasize collaboration and innovation. We develop ASIC specifications, optimize IC partitioning, and provide innovative solutions for improved system efficiency and cost-effectiveness. In turnkey projects, we tailor the ASIC design to customer needs, while customer-centric projects involve joint development and a customized approach. 

Development: Emphasizes the importance of strong communication throughout the ASIC development. We offer a combination of core competencies and expertise in analog mixed-signal ASIC design flow, enabling customers to achieve their desired product or solution quickly. Our highly automated ASIC design flow incorporates advanced methodologies and design-for-test measures, ensuring a "first-time-right" approach. We utilize industry-leading tools, standard interfaces, and continuous learning to simplify integration and stay up to date with the latest technology.

Manufacturing: Infineon has a global presence with a network of twenty owned manufacturing sites and strong partnerships with major silicon foundries and assembly/test fabs. This allows us to provide production stability and continuity for customers, saving resources and minimizing risk. We deliver top-quality ASIC products that have undergone rigorous qualification and reliability testing. The qualification plan is tailored to meet customer requirements while adhering to Infineon's highest quality standards. Our goal is to achieve zero defects in all our products.

ASIC supply chain management: Production excellence and supply stability all over the world. Our cutting-edge fabrication facilities around the globe are advanced, innovative, and known for the highest quality standards. We align with our customers on the forecast and required capacity to ensure no supply bottlenecks occur. Our global distribution centers for ASICs and standard products are always close to customers and ensures that devices reach the customer in the fastest possible time.

Infineon understands the entire supply chain and ensures materials will reach the next manufacturing plant before the reserved slot starts. We automatically plan backup lots and install certain buffer stock to always maintain supply without interruption. This ensures for the reliable delivery that Infineon is known for and is valid for full custom ICs as well as for standard products.
