HVAC Application

Semiconductors are transforming how modern Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems operate, making them smarter, more energy-efficient and connected. From residential units to large-scale commercial systems, semiconductor technology powers all critical HVAC functions. We provide a wide variety of technologies and support that make it easier to implement the critical functions within HVAC systems.

• Motor Control: Microcontrollers (MCUs) and motor drivers manage compressors, fans and blowers with high efficiency using techniques like Field-Oriented Control (FOC)
• Power Conversion: MOSFETs, IGBTs and power modules enable efficient AC-DC and DC-DC conversion, supporting reliable HVAC system performance
• Environmental Sensing: Semiconductor-based solutions provide real-time data on temperature, pressure, humidity and airflow to drive intelligent system responses
• Connectivity: Wi-Fi^®, Bluetooth^® and Zigbee^® ICs enable IoT-connected HVAC systems, which allows remote monitoring, diagnostics and integration with smart homes and buildings
• System Intelligence: Embedded controllers run algorithms for energy optimization, fault detection and predictive maintenance
• Security: Our TrustMANAGER platform and CryptoAuthentication™ ICs protect connected and smart HVAC systems. These devices enable hardware-based secure key storage with built-in cryptographic accelerators, side-channel resistance and anti-tamper features and supports secure boot, device authentication, key rotation and attestation for secure HVAC applications such as heat pumps and AC units
