Danfoss, Infineon ink supply contract for power devices
Under the agreement, Infineon will supply chipsets consisting of IGBTs and diodes toDanfoss’ Silicon Power Business Unit. This company primarily installs the chips in power modules for inverters for drive control in electric vehicles.
“The market for electromobility is picking up noticeably, and the supply industry is aligning itself to this,” says Claus Petersen, Senior Vice President and General Manager at Danfoss Silicon Power. “For us as a manufacturer of power modules for electric drives, a long-term secure supply of semiconductors is extremely important. This agreement enables us to meet the high growth expectations of our customers.
“With electromobility, the chip requirement per car will increase to almost double that of conventional drives. By far the largest part of this additional demand concerns power semiconductors,” said Peter Schiefer, President of the Automotive Division at Infineon. “The expansion of our production capacities, for example in Villach, Austria, enables us to establish long-term cooperation with customers like Danfoss. A reliable and resilient supply chain is crucial for the rapid success of the mobility turnaround”.
