Producer
Infineon Technologies
German power semiconductor company (FSE: IFX, HQ Neubiberg); produces CIPOS (Compact Intelligent Power Module) IPM series for home appliance motor drives (Nano/Micro/Mini/Maxi variants). ~40% combined IGBT market share alongside Mitsubishi Electric. Infineon acquired International Rectifier (2015) and Cypress Semiconductor (2020), making it the world's largest automotive semiconductor supplier and one of the largest power electronics suppliers. Primary IGBT/IPM manufacturing at Villach, Austria (300mm wafer fab). Same Infineon that makes chips for every modern car's power electronics also makes the inverter module in a washing machine.

Infineon Technologies – Neubiberg (Munich) HQ →
DEBavaria
Infineon Technologies AG headquarters in Neubiberg (Munich suburb), Bavaria. Designs AURIX TriCore MCU family (ISO 25119-certified for agricultural safety systems), XENSIV sensors, OptiMOS power semiconductors, EiceDRIVER gate drivers. AURIX TC3xx (300 MHz, three-core TriCore, 8MB Flash) is the basis for TTControl TTC-2700 — a dedicated off-highway ECU platform for agricultural machines. Infineon fabricates at its own wafer fabs (Dresden Germany, Villach Austria, Kulim Malaysia) supplemented by foundry partners. The AURIX ISO 25119 certification makes Infineon the primary MCU of choice for safety-critical agricultural control systems (autonomous steering, brake-by-wire, PTO interlocks).

Did you know2024
Infineon Technologies' AURIX microcontroller family is certified to both ISO 26262 (automotive functional safety) and ISO 25119 (Agricultural and Forestry Machinery — Safety-related parts of control systems) — a rare dual standard certification that explicitly designates AURIX as the safety MCU for agricultural machines. AURIX TC3xx chips are the engine inside TTControl TTC-2700, a dedicated off-highway safety ECU platform marketed specifically for agricultural machinery. The same Infineon silicon that handles electronic stability control in premium automobiles is handling autonomous steering lockout and PTO interlock logic on a combine harvester. They are the same chip, running on different firmware, serving completely different end markets, competing for the same wafer allocation at Infineon's Dresden and Villach fabs.
Infineon Technologies ↗Origin2023
Infineon Technologies was spun off from Siemens AG in 1999 via IPO — Siemens had been in semiconductor manufacturing since the 1950s under the Siemens Halske and then Siemens AG brand. Siemens had built up power semiconductor manufacturing as part of its broader industrial electrical equipment business: the IGBT modules Infineon makes today for wind turbines and trains descend directly from Siemens switchgear and power conversion technology. Siemens spun off the semiconductor division partly because the cyclical semiconductor industry created earnings volatility incompatible with a diversified industrial conglomerate. Post-spinoff, Infineon acquired Cypress Semiconductor (US) for $9.4B in 2020 — adding Cypress's PSoC microcontrollers, Wi-Fi/Bluetooth chips, and NOR flash memory. This made Infineon a much broader company: the automotive power chip specialist suddenly also controlled the TPM security chips in every enterprise PC and the wireless connectivity chips in industrial IoT devices. A German power electronics company now controls whether your laptop boots securely (TPM) AND whether your industrial robot operates safely (AURIX MCU) AND whether wind energy reaches the grid (IGBT).
