Infineon Technologies
The High-Reliability DC-DC converter business of Infineon Technologies AG (FSE: IFX / OTCQX: IFNNY), a global semiconductor leader in power systems and IoT was acquired by Micross Components, Inc. on February 28, 2023.
Headquartered in San Jose, California with a facility in Copenhagen, Denmark, Infineon provides high-reliability DC-DC converters, including hybrid and custom board-based power products for space, strategic defense, aerospace, and other high-reliability customers. They design and manufacture proprietary power solutions which operate in the harshest environments.
The addition of Infineon’s High-Reliability DC-DC converter business expands Micross’ power management solution offerings which are supported by a high degree of intellectual property. The acquisition also expands Micross’ geographic footprint in the US and Europe and Infineon’s presence in the high-growth space end market, better positioning the Company for future growth opportunities.
Decarbonization
The world must reduce carbon emissions and use energy much more efficiently to secure quality of life for future generations. With their power system solutions, Infineon is a key enabler in the move to harness renewable energy resources and deliver energy-efficient solutions along the entire electrical energy chain.
Global semiconductor leader in power systems
Semiconductors are crucial to solve the energy challenges of our time and shape the digital transformation and Infineon is the clear no.1 in power semiconductors and a leading power systems innovator.
DC-DC converter product portfolio
The Infineon DC-DC converters portfolio includes a broad range of high-quality modules covering switching regulators, integrated POL voltage regulators, digital multiphase controllers, integrated power stages, low voltage gate drivers, and digital power controllers.
As a leader in power semiconductor and energy efficiency technologies, Infineon is continually developing their DC-DC converter modules to meet the demands of the 21st century with the LITIX™ power family, LITIX™ power flex Family, OptiMOS™ point of load regulators, XDP™ hyper transient phase multiphase controllers and OptiMOS™ smart power stages providing innovative and reliable DC to DC power converters for 21st-century applications.
Products include the following types of DC-DC converters:
- Linear DC-DC converters — using resistive voltage drop to regulate given output voltages, linear DC-DC converter circuits offer low quiescent current, wide input voltage, low noise, and small packages
- Switching DC-DC converters — offering higher power efficiency, easier thermal management, and transformed output voltages, switching DC-DC converter circuits include buck, boost, and buck boost DC-DC converters
- Isolated DC-DC converters – by separating the input from the output electrically and physically, isolated DC-DC converter circuits are often used to break ground loops
- Non-Isolated DC-DC converters — using the transformer to eliminate the DC path between input and output, non-isolated DC-DC converter circuits include step-up and step-down DC-DC converter ICs. Additionally, advantages of non-isolated DC-DC converters include a smaller design footprint and lower costs
- Step-up (boost) DC-DC converters — boost converter ICs are used to boost the voltage output to greater than the input while stepping down the current. Step-up DC-DC converter circuits are often used in battery power systems and photovoltaic cells
- Step-down (buck) DC-DC converters – used to reduce voltage while drawing less current from input to output, step-down DC-DC converter circuits are widely used in lower power consumption electronic devices
- High-power/high-voltage DC-DC converters – high voltage boost converter ICs feature voltages of > approx. 100 V, high power DC-DC converters deliver uncompromising performance in energy management applications
- High-power/low-voltage DC-DC converters – featuring input voltages of < approx. 30 V and output currents 40 A-1000 A, high-power-low-voltage DC-DC converter ICs deliver uncompromising performance in digital connectivity
- Low-power/low-voltage DC-DC converters – featuring voltages of < approx. 30 V and output currents < 40 A, low-power/low-voltage DC-DC converter ICs deliver uncompromising performance in digital connectivity
