Infineon

Infineon Technologies AG, headquartered in Neubiberg, Germany, is one of the world’s leading semiconductor companies, known for its expertise in power electronics, automotive systems, security, and IoT solutions. Formed in 1999 as a spin-off from Siemens, Infineon has built a strong global presence with manufacturing, R&D, and sales operations spanning Europe, Asia, and the Americas.

A cornerstone of Infineon’s portfolio is power semiconductors, including MOSFETs, IGBTs, GaN and SiC devices, and power modules. These technologies enable efficient energy conversion and management across applications such as renewable energy, industrial drives, consumer electronics, and power supplies. Infineon is also a pioneer in wide-bandgap semiconductors, advancing SiC and GaN adoption for higher power density and performance in automotive and energy systems.

The company is a leading supplier to the automotive industry, providing microcontrollers, sensors, and power devices that support electrification, driver assistance, and safety systems. Infineon’s components are critical to electric vehicles, offering solutions for battery management, traction inverters, and charging infrastructure. In addition, the company supplies radar sensors, security ICs, and connectivity technologies that enable ADAS and connected car platforms.

Beyond automotive, Infineon plays a major role in industrial and IoT markets. Its products power automation, robotics, smart energy systems, and consumer electronics, while its security solutions protect transactions, devices, and communications. The company’s merger with Cypress Semiconductor in 2020 further expanded its portfolio, strengthening capabilities in microcontrollers, connectivity, and memory for IoT and embedded applications.

Sustainability is a core focus, with Infineon working to reduce the carbon footprint of both its manufacturing operations and its customers’ end products. Its semiconductors are widely used in technologies that drive decarbonisation and digitalisation, aligning with global energy and climate goals.

Through its combination of innovation, scale, and application expertise, Infineon has positioned itself as a trusted partner for engineers and OEMs developing the next generation of energy-efficient, secure, and connected systems.
