“We make life easier, safer
and greener”
Infineon Technologies
Part of your life. Part of tomorrow.
T
he world’s swelling
population, more and more
megacities and the rising
demand for energy is prompting
us to rethink many aspects of our
modern lifestyle. Semiconductor
and system solutions from Infineon
contribute to a better future –
making our world easier, safer and
greener. These tiny, barely visible
electronic components have become
an indispensable part of our daily
lives. They help to feed regenerative
energy into power grids with almost
zero losses, tame power-hungry
computers, safeguard the data flying
through cyberspace and make our
cars more energy-efficient.

Automotive: Driving the
Future of Automotive
Electronics
Infineon is one of the few
semiconductor manufacturers for
automotive applications that covers
the most important applications
in vehicles. With a broad product
portfolio of microcontrollers,
intelligent sensors, transmit and
receive ICs for radio-frequency
applications and radar as well as
both discrete and integrated power
semiconductors: powertrain,
chassis and comfort electronics as
well as driving safety applications.
Coupled with a highlevel of quality,
this comprehensive range of
products has made the company
a preferred partner for its
customers for over 40 years.
Infineon’s development strategy
focuses on the integration
of functionality and thus on
semiconductor solutions with
an excellent price-performance
ratio. Thereby its technologies are
contributing to a greener future
by reducing fuel consumption,
emissions, and costs. And that’s
not all – the firm is also helping to
improve safety and performance.
Industrial Power Control:
High Power Semiconductors
for Industrial Applications
Industrial Power Control products
are crucial for generating and
transmitting electric power
efficiently and with virtually no
losses – as well as for reducing
energy consumption. Infineon’s
leading market position is based
on technological leadership and on
being an innovative, reliable partner
for its customers.
Power semiconductors are often
the determining factor, not only in
terms of function but also when it
comes to the efficiency, size, weight,
and cost of its customers’ products
and systems. Infineon’s many
years of industrial experience
and innovative strength helpsit
develop the right components
for the relevant applications.
Power Management &
Multimarket: Shaping Power
Management – Infineon lives
Energy Efficiency
The number of electronic devices
we use in our everyday lives is
constantly growing. The significance
of the power supply for these
devices is not always obvious, yet it
is crucial for their reliability, power
consumption, and size.
Efficiency, powerful batteries and
chargers, and high effectiveness:
These customer requirements place
new demands on the efficiency and
size of our power supply solutions.
The power density thus becomes a
decisive factor. Infineon’s concepts
