INFINEON AND MUNICH ELECTRIFICATION EXPAND PARTNERSHIP, BRINGING INTELLIGENCE TO BATTERY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS TO ENABLE ZONAL ARCHITECTURES
PRESS RELEASE
Munich, Germany – 13 November 2025 – Infineon Technologies AG (FSE: IFX / OTCQX: IFNNY), global leader in automotive microcontrollers, continues to redefine the future of automotive innovation through strategic ecosystem collaboration. In a move that underscores its market leadership, Infineon has expanded its partnership with Munich Electrification, a specialist in advanced battery management systems (BMS) for electrified vehicles (xEVs). This partnership highlights the strength of Infineon’s ecosystem-driven innovation strategy, exemplified by its Drive Core software bundles. These bundles are designed to accelerate and simplify automotive software development in collaboration with automotive ecosystem partners.
At the core of this collaboration is Infineon’s advanced semiconductor technology, including its PSOC™ 4 HVPA-SPM 1.0 microcontroller, paired with Munich Electrification’s configurable BMS safety software. Together, the partnership delivers a comprehensive, functionally safe, and cyber-security compliant solution for high-voltage battery management systems. This enables automotive OEMs to significantly accelerate development cycles, streamline certification, and comply with industry standards such as ISO26262 and ISO21434 while minimizing costs and time-to-market for electrified mobility solutions.
The Next Generation: Smart Edge BMS – Simplifying Battery Management for Faster Innovation
The Smart Edge BMS revolutionizes battery management by offering a highly efficient and user-friendly solution that empowers automotive manufacturers to streamline development and focus on innovation. By leveraging existing high-performance controllers within modern vehicles, the Smart Edge BMS eliminates the need for a costly and complex standalone system. Not only does it accelerate time-to-market for new vehicles, but it also significantly cuts costs across multiple areas, including hardware, development, and version management, compared to traditional battery management systems.
PSOC™ 4 HVPA-SPM 1.0
The PSOC 4 HVPA-SPM 1.0 offers a fully integrated design with key features that bring advanced intelligence, safety, and efficiency to BMS. It provides high-precision monitoring of current, voltage, and temperature, ensuring reliable battery performance and improving the accuracy of State-of-Charge (SoC) and State-of-Health (SoH). Fully compliant with ASIL D (ISO 26262) safety standards, the microcontroller ensures robust and reliable operation in critical high-voltage battery systems. Its built-in Arm® Cortex®-M0+ processor delivers advanced edge intelligence, enabling faster data processing and reducing the load on the central Electronic Control Unit (ECU). This supports zonal architectures and allows OEMs to customize the system for specific requirements, leading to shorter development cycles and faster time-to-market.
“The PSOC 4 HVPA-SPM 1.0 represents a significant leap forward in high-voltage battery management, combining precision, intelligence, and safety for next-generation electric vehicles,” said Ralf Koedel, Vice President of Automotive Microcontrollers at Infineon. “The positive feedback from our first customers reinforces its value in enabling innovative and reliable solutions for electrified mobility”.
Building on the launch of the PSOC 4 HVPA-SPM 1.0, Infineon is partnering with Munich Electrification to deliver the “Smart Edge BMS Software” for smarter and more efficient BMS. The collaboration leverages Infineon’s semiconductor technology and Munich Electrification’s software expertise. "We are extremely excited to contribute with our deep BMS and software expertise to the next level of cutting-edge technology in this partnership with the global leader in automotive semiconductors," said Dr. Uwe Wiedemann, Managing Director of Munich Electrification GmbH.
Teaming up with Munich Electrification is another example of Infineon’s Drive Core Strategy in action. In this strategy, Infineon combines its advanced semiconductor technologies with Drive Core software bundles, developed to simplify and accelerate automotive software development in collaboration with automotive ecosystem partners.
