Fans and Pumps
Fans and pumps can be found in various applications including home appliances and industrial systems.
Driven by more stringent regulations and growing customer awareness around energy efficiency, this segment is increasingly being shaped by rising demand for inverterization, especially in pumps and fans for low-power drives.
Infineon Technologies offers highly integrated solutions such as intelligent power modules (IPMs) and ready-to-use motor controllers (iMOTION™). These products make it easy for designers to improve the energy efficiency of drives by adding an inverter.
As an alternative to integrated solutions, Infineon’s portfolio also includes a wide selection of discrete components ranging from gate drivers, MOSFETs and IGBTs to microcontrollers.
Take a look at Infineon’s broad portfolio of solutions with power levels ranging from 60 W to 1.5 kW in a range of different topologies.
