Today, you’ll find about 30 electric motors in the average car and about 70 of them if it happens to be a premium one. Read this article from Infineon about how one company’s extensive portfolio of semiconductors is helping enable a wide range of superior motor control solutions.
In fact, it is estimated by the year 2019 that the automotive industry alone will account for the creation of 3.5 billion electrical motors. Every single one of those will require the latest in motor control and, at the heart of that, are semiconductor solutions such as MOSFETs, integrated bridges, bridge drivers, microcontrollers, smart power controllers, power supplies and sensors.
This informative article from Infineon articulates how automotive manufacturers have gradually transitioned from mechanical motors to smart electrical ones that can be speed-controlled and switched on-and-off on demand. Not only has this change resulted in reduced CO2 emissions, it’s enabled cutting-edge new safety features, including crash avoidance, autonomous driving, and driving assistance. All of which mandates enhanced motor control solutions – and semiconductors that are more reliable, flexible, affordable and smaller.
Infineon uniquely offers an extensive portfolio of all the requisite semiconductors that enable the smartest and most modern motor control, including MOSFETs, integrated bridges, bridge drivers, microcontrollers, smart power controllers, power supplies and sensors. This vast array of devices provides for high, medium and low-integrated solutions for motor control
