About

In electrical vehicles, automotive pumps as well as automotive fans play a vital role in thermal management, ensuring efficient cooling and temperature regulation for components such as battery packs, power electronics, and electric motors.  This commonly includes powertrain applications like auxiliary pumps and fans, electric pumps such as fuel pumps, oil and water pumps, and fans like HVAC blowers, engine or battery cooling fans. For instance, coolant pumps are required for batteries or for inverter cooling and HVAC blowers to ensure that airflow reaches the passenger with the desired temperature at minimum noise.

Next-generation pump and fan technologies should overcome challenges such as space limitations for installation, increasing power demands from advanced vehicle components, ability to withstand high temperatures near the engine, and the need to enhance fuel efficiency and reduce emissions in order to meet stringent regulatory requirements.

Infineon offers different system solutions to overcome these challenges and realize optimal cooling solutions for automotive pumps and automotive fans, as well as to meet customer-specific preferences. Infineon's extensive offer of intelligent MOTIX™ motor control ICs is complemented by AURIX™ TC3 microcontrollers, sensors, transceivers, voltage regulators, and MOSFETs to simplify the design of end-to-end system solutions. Different integration levels of the MOTIX™ family are offered based on different customer needs. Integrated system on-chip solutions known as embedded power ICs can deliver a best-fit set of functions to address these applications.

Infineon provides a broad portfolio of automotive pump and automotive fan solutions operating at 12 V and 48 V.

The majority of the electric pumps and fans market uses small, mechatronic BLDC motor drive solutions operating at 12 V, which require cost- and system-optimized products. Infineon's portfolio of MOTIX™ 32-bit motor control SoC solutions, automotive MOSFETs, and sensors is the right choice and state-of-the-art market-integrated solutions for mechatronic BLDC motor drive solutions.

The increasing power demands of electric vehicles (EV) and the need for improved efficiency drive shift towards higher voltage systems. 48 V battery systems offer significant current reduction and weight reduction for wiring harness resulting in a lower fuel consumption. Infineon provides cost-effective and high-performance electrification solutions for applications in both entry-level and upper market segments.
