Infineon Receives "Quality Honor Award" from Toyota Motor Corporation's Hirose Plant - First Foreign Semiconductor Supplier to Receive Three Consecutive Awards -
March 31, 2020, Munich (Germany) / Tokyo (Japan)
Infineon Technologies (hereafter, Infineon) has achieved a record of zero quality defects (zero defects) in its deliveries to Toyota Motor Corporation's Hirose Plant for the sixth consecutive year, and has received the highest quality honor award from the plant for the third consecutive year. Given. Infineon is the first foreign semiconductor supplier to receive the award three times in a row.
Toyota's Hirose plant manufactures electrical components for automobiles, and Infineon supplies CAN transceiver products for in-vehicle communication. This device is responsible for transmitting and receiving data between various control units installed in the vehicle.
Each year, the factory awards suppliers that demonstrate outstanding performance, and the longer the zero-defect record is maintained, the higher the award. The Quality Honor Award is given to suppliers that have achieved zero defects for four or more consecutive years. This is the 4th "Quality Honor Award" received since the two companies began working together 18 years ago, and the 12th achievement of zero defects.
Infineon automotive CAN transceivers
The multi-master CAN (Controller Area Network) serial bus was originally developed for in-vehicle communication with data rates up to 1 Mbps as specified in the ISO 11898 international standard. Since CAN can be used in harsh automotive environments, it is now used in a variety of applications such as body, safety, powertrain, and infotainment in modern vehicles.
The automotive industry has recently defined CAN FD (Flexible Data Rate) protocol for faster CAN communication up to 5Mbit/s and CAN PN (Partial Networking) protocol aimed at further improving energy efficiency. .
Different types of transceivers are used depending on how each vehicle network architecture and associated ECUs are used. Infineon's transceivers provide reliable communication and minimize current consumption and CO² emissions at vehicle level. Infineon's transceiver products offer the best value for performance, ruggedness and reliability.
