Infineon Technologies offers semiconductors and system solutions for three major divisions: Automotive, Industrial Electronics, and Chip Card and Security
Applications. Infineon's products stand out for their reliability, their quality excellence and their innovative and leading-edge technology in analog and
mixed signal, RF and power as well as embedded control.
Infineon semiconductors play a key role in building more intelligence into the energy cycle. Tomorrow's power grids will have to solve different challenges than what they face today. On the one hand, grids are going to be supplied by various sources like water, sun and wind, and on the other they have to deal with greater peaks and valleys of demand. Through innovative solutions, semiconductors ensure a constant and efficient flow of electricity over thousands of miles from the plant to the point of use with low losses at the outlet.
With 33,800 employees, Infineon has 16 manufacturing sites and 29 research and development sites in Europe, Asia, and the United States. The company's three major areas of work include communications; memory; and automotive, which includes semiconductors that go into cars. Infineon's communications products and services encompass fixed-line communications, wireless communications, and security and chip card integrated circuits (ICs).

Infineon Product Overview
Major Industries Served by Infineon
Infineon Technologies services three major divisions:
Infineon has over 35 years of experience of developing
and producing products to meet the demands of the automotive
market.
Automotive - Infineon is the world's second largest chip supplier to the automotive industry. Their sustained success in automotive
electronics is attributed to a consistent focus on automotive applications and their requirements, a profound understanding of the automotive
system based on more than 40 years of experience and a broad innovative product portfolio of outstanding quality.
Infineon serves automotive applications such as the car's powertrain (comprising engine and transmission control for optimized fuel consumption and to meet government emission regulations addressing chips for emerging technologies, such as hybrids, starter alternators, and electromechanical valve-trains), body and convenience (including light control; heating, ventilation and air-conditioning HVAC; comfort locking; power windows; seat memory and keyless entry), safety management (e.g. electronic power steering, collision avoidance, anti-lock brake system, airbag, stability control, tire pressure monitoring) and infotainment (including e-call and information access).
The Automotive Division supplies the automotive industry with sensors, microcontrollers, power semiconductors and power modules that contribute to a more sustainable mobility in terms of reduced fuel consumption and emissions, improved safety and affordability.
Industrial and Multimarket - Efficient generation and transmission and reliable distribution are vital for an environmentally-friendly electricity support. Infineon is the only company to offer power semiconductors and power modules for the entire electrical energy generation, transmission and conversion chain. Infineon products are enormously important for future energy supplies in terms of both exploiting renewables and using energy efficiently. Infineon components manage the power supply for electrical drives, home appliances and lighting, and the company is the world number one in power semiconductors.
The portfolio of products offered by the Industrial & Multimarket Division is as diverse as the range of market segments in which its components are used: power semiconductors and modules, custom ICs, and small-signal discrete semiconductors appear in medical and consumer electronics and computing products as well as in the traditional industrial segments mentioned above.
Chip Card and Security - Infineon provides security components for passports, identity cards and contactless payment cards and is the leading supplier of chips for credit cards, access cards and trusted computing solutions worldwide. Our company has been the world market leader in chips for card applications for fourteen years in a row and continues to pioneer new technologies in the field of chip-based security. Our focus on security-critical fields allows us to make the most of our expertise in high-security applications as security requirements become more stringent.
Our Chip Card & Security Division is helping to improve data security in today's information society. As users become ever more mobile, advanced security solutions are very much in demand. Consistent deployment of security products has the potential to act as a pacesetter for cutting-edge applications in transport and IT infrastructure. Infineon has the industry's largest portfolio of chips and interfaces to meet the relevant security requirements in these areas.
Infineon Technologies, formerly Siemens Semiconductor, was founded on April 1, 1999, as a wholly owned spinoff of Siemens AG. The split followed the price
erosion in DRAMs (Dynamic Random Access Memory), with Siemens Semiconductor posting a $674 million pre-tax income loss for its 1998 fiscal year.
One of the immediate advantages of becoming independent was that Infineon could gain new customers outside of Siemens, although the parent company remained a major customer. This expansion of the customer base was Infineon's first major success as an independent company. The president and CEO of Siemens Semiconductors, Ulrich Schumacher, retained his position at the new company. During Infineon's first year as a public company, they led the world market in producing chips for chip cards, with a 34 percent share, and was cited in1999 as "one of the most impressive performers in a strong year for its parent Siemens." In fact, Electronic Engineering Times on January 24, 2000 noted, "The chipmaker posted profits totaling US$70 million in its first fiscal year after a loss of US$800 million for the former Siemens AG unit the previous year."
Other markets that were established in 2000 included mobile communications, Internet access, electronic banking, electronic and mobile commerce, as well as innovative security and authentication systems, including biometric systems, such as fingertip sensors. Other sophisticated products were emerging with advanced encryption technologies and state-of-the-art security memory products and controllers, along with Infineon's first Bluetooth chipset. An international consortium of computer and communications companies for delivery was developing the Bluetooth open system standard over short-range wireless modems.
In 2001, Infineon wisely developed a set of measures called "Impact" to streamline the business and cut costs to maintain the strength and productivity of the company during downtimes. Having stabilized somewhat financially, the company has expanded its role in the less volatile markets for specialty-developed memory products and high-performance chips. Today, as the semiconductor markets become ever more diverse, Infineon plans to continue to provide innovative solutions through its products.
Automotive Industry - The Infineon line of Integrated Circuits (ICs) for the Automotive Industry is comprised of a large group of subcategories. Much of their business within the Automotive Industry is through sales and services of automotive MOSFETs, DC/DC Converters, Embedded Power ICs, Powertrain ICs and Automotive Motor Drivers. Infineon has over 35 years of experience of developing and producing products to meet the demands of the automotive market. They also design and produce a large number of power products that meet all requirements of the automotive industry and also the transportation, lighting and motor-drive industries.
