Infineon Hu Fengping: Adhere to Localization Sustainable Development Strategy

In recent years, the semiconductor industry has attracted much attention. Under the dual pressure of global energy and environmental protection, the application of semiconductors in the field of lighting has attracted much attention. International semiconductor companies have also turned their growth engines to lighting. As a leading global semiconductor company, Infineon Technologies provides semiconductor and system solutions for high energy efficiency, mobility and safety with its outstanding reliability, excellent quality, and cutting-edge innovation capabilities. Its development in the field of lighting how is it? What targeted solutions have been introduced? What's next in China? What are the suggestions for the healthy development of the industry? Aladdin Lighting News Network interviewed Infineon Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. Power Management and Diversified Market Manager Hu Fengping.

It is understood that Infineon's lighting products cover the emerging LED lighting and traditional lighting market, not only lighting power management, but also control the power management basic solutions. Since Infineon entered China, it has continuously responded to the needs of customers and markets, researched and produced a series of products that can be applied to the local market.

Development of high-efficiency LED lighting solutions to maintain strong competitiveness After many years of exploration of LED lighting products, Infineon has developed a series of products and solutions, such as 11W high efficiency bulb lamp program, 120W high reliability street lamp program, and high cost-effective MR16 solution As well as DALI intelligent dimming program and so on.

Such as ICL8002G11W bulb lamp program, can achieve> 85% efficiency, 5% depth dimming. Simple peripheral circuits bring convenience to production, high efficiency can reduce production costs for customers, match most dimmers to enhance the application scope of the design, and so on. This program continues to receive extensive attention from the market.

In terms of design expansion, this solution also has certain advantages. Customers can easily achieve greater power output simply by selecting different MOS specifications. With the outstanding performance of CoolMOS, the design can maintain its strong competitiveness.

Research and development of pure digital control chips to enhance the intelligent control performance of LED lighting Infineon's products are known for their high reliability, excellent quality and innovation. To date, Infineon’s family of power management products covers power devices, power control ICs, and lighting controls. IC (fluorescent lamp ballast controller ICB2FL series, LED drive controller ICL8002G, etc.), and digital control IC. Applications involve many power management applications. In addition, a series of high-performance solutions will be developed to meet the needs of users from low-end to high-end applications, giving developers unprecedented design flexibility. 12

Infineon is also actively developing digital control ICs to meet increasing requirements. For example, this digital chip can meet the requirements of constant current and constant voltage required in LED lighting, and can also satisfy different LED chip pair drivers. Special requirements.

"This series of pure digital control chips is planned to be released in the near future." Hu Fengping explained, "The characteristics of LED determine the direction of its intelligence, Infineon is actively researching and developing digital control, is to perfect the LED Illumination realizes intelligent driving and control. In this way, customers can more easily and effectively design products that are competitive and valuable according to the needs of various LED lighting applications."

Organizing a Power Management Tour Seminar to Promote Creative Design Applications It is reported that in June this year, Infineon and its third-party partner, Win Shine Optoelectronics, participated in the 17th Guangzhou International Lighting Exhibition and achieved fruitful results. So, what will happen to Infineon in China next? According to Hu Fengping, the company will hold a power management roving seminar in 7 cities (Wuhan, Shijiazhuang, Xi’an, Chongqing, Harbin, Nanjing, and Xiamen) from August 27 to September 20, and a team of experts will introduce the details in English. Infineon’s full system design promotes participants to achieve creative design applications and will also highlight high-efficiency LED lighting solutions.

LED lighting belongs to the big market led by big technology. Its rapid development has only opened up the corner of the emerging industry. Hu Fengping believes that as an emerging industry, there are many bottlenecks in technology. In addition to the initial stage, market demand is unstable, and the establishment and improvement of industry standards takes a long time. Therefore, especially during the current global economic downturn, companies must More efforts in industrial technology innovation, we need to share and share, leading the LED lighting market to mature and stable, and the purpose of the seminar is also the exchange and sharing of technology, mining product new value, in order to promote the healthy development of the industry.

Hu Fengping also stated that China has a pivotal position in Infineon’s global strategy. For a long time, it has consistently adhered to the needs of local customers and markets to provide product solutions. In the future, Infineon will continue to adopt localized sustainable development strategies, expand deeper cooperation with domestic customers, increase exchanges and cooperation with domestic universities and scientific research institutions, and cultivate international-type lighting talents.
