CIPOS™ for highly integrated compressor drives
CIPOS™ Intelligent Power Modules (IPMs) are highly integrated, compact power modules designed to drive motors in applications ranging from home appliances, fans, pumps to general-purpose drives.
Innovative and efficient appliances with Infineon
We live in a connected world where state-of-the art home appliances are online, efficient and make the consumers chores as easy as never before. Individual devices are connected to each other and with their integrated sensors they can make intelligent decisions. And of course, they need to be quieter and less power hungry than ever before to save money and CO2
Achieve the highest efficiency levels and smallest form factors and significantly improve your appliances' carbon footprint based on the smartest power designs. By choosing Infineon components, you can easily set your designs apart from the competition.
Infineon’s components and system solutions will bring more intelligence to your smart and connected home appliances to sense, control and securely connect them. We offer a comprehensive portfolio that makes it easy for you to meet all consumer needs.
The Importance of Efficiency
Many consumers today make a buying decision based on the appliances efficiency. It saves money, it´s good for the environment and sometimes it´s just regulated by the local governments.
Infineon is the leader in power. That means we are your go-to partner when it comes to making your appliance more efficient.
So driving a compressor, a fan or a pump in a more effective but also cost-efficient way is our core competency. Be it with highly integrated solutions such as CIPOS IPMs or Easy modules or discrete solutions with our TRENCHSTOP™ IGBTs or CoolMOS™ MOSFETs.
For flexibility and thermal performance optimisation
Trying to squeeze out the last few percentage points of energy efficiency?
CoolMOS™ MOSFETs, TRENCHSTOP™ IGBTs, and CoolSiC™ silicon carbide solutions can help.
Control it all with iMOTION™ dedicated motor control
iMOTION™ is a digital motor controller family of highly integrated products for the control of a variable speed drive. It integrates all control and analog interface functions required for sensorless field-oriented control (FOC) of PM motors, without writing a single line of code.
If your motor control algorithms give you an edge, go for our XMC or PSoC microcontrollers. For lower cost applications the XMC1300 and XMC1400 are a great solution and the PSoC™ 4100S MAX is your product of choice for washing machines.

All about Smart Appliances
Appliances become smarter and smarter. You can already turn on your aircon while you´re on your way home or check the status of the washing machine on your phone.
In the future your appliances will warn you before they break. Your fridge will warn you that you've run out of milk. Or it will order the milk right away. It might even help you to improve your health. Your washing machine will automatically select the right washing program or give you an alert if there´s a silk shirt in the washing machine and you select a high temperature program.
All of these features are enabled by more innovative sensors, controllers and connectivity components.
Control with PSoC™
Infineon's PSoC™ controllers enable you to create a sleek and modern touch display. The PSoC™ 4 family simplifies complex HMI interfaces, enabling robust and intuitive user interfaces with CAPSENSE™ technology, offering superior signal to noise and noise immunity performance.
Being purpose-built for the IOT, PSoC™ 6 bridges the gap between application processors and standard microcontrollers, enabling more advanced HMI, such as voice and integrated touch enabled TFT control.
Connect with AIROC™
Infineon's portfolio of Wi-Fi and BLE solutions allows your customers to connect to their network easily.
For secure and reliable connectivity, Infineon's AIROC™ Wi-Fi and Bluetooth combo SOCs offer superior whole home coverage with hardware-based coexistence.
The OPTIGA™ Trust family of security solutions is designed to protect the confidentiality, integrity and authenticity of information and devices.
Sense with XENSIV™
Infineon's large sensor portfolio can enable your appliance to learn from its surrounding to become smarter and, more importantly, intuitive.
Infineon's XENSIV™ MEMS microphones provide best signal to noise ratio for crystal clear voice control, even while the washing machine is running. XENSIV™ radar technology offers precise motion and presence detection, and Infineon's gas sensors can measure air quality and even detect and report on food freshness. Infineon also offer solutions for pressure, magnetic and current.
