Infineon Technologies AG has introduced three new variants of its CoolSET™ System-in-Package (SiP) family — the ICE188LM, ICE189LM, and ICE180LM — expanding the supported output power range and helping household appliance manufacturers meet increasingly stringent European energy efficiency and standby power regulations.
The CoolSET SiP combines a high-voltage MOSFET with a PWM controller on the primary side, a synchronous rectification (SR) controller on the secondary side, reinforced galvanic isolation, and comprehensive protection functions within a single package. This high level of integration reduces system losses, lowers component count, and simplifies the development of energy-efficient auxiliary power supplies for household appliances with power ratings up to 150 W.
The new devices are designed for major white goods applications, including washing machines, refrigerators, dishwashers, dryers, and ovens, where compliance with EU Ecodesign and standby power requirements is mandatory for market access. The solution supports standby and no-load power consumption as low as 30 mW while maintaining high efficiency across the entire operating range, providing appliance manufacturers with a path to regulatory compliance without compromising system performance.
As EU Ecodesign regulations continue to tighten and expand across additional appliance categories, auxiliary power supply design has become an increasingly important factor in achieving compliance. Infineon’s CoolSET SiP addresses these requirements by integrating key power conversion and control functions into a single qualified package. This approach reduces the number of external components, simplifies electromagnetic interference (EMI) management, and optimizes switching behavior and protection features to meet current and upcoming efficiency targets.
According to Infineon, manufacturers can benefit from reduced design complexity, shorter qualification cycles, and a scalable platform architecture that supports regulatory compliance across multiple product variants and power levels within the same appliance family.
The CoolSET SiP family is also designed to address the long product lifecycles and high-volume platform requirements typical of the white goods market. By offering a fully integrated solution qualified to meet current EU regulatory requirements, Infineon enables appliance manufacturers to shorten development timelines and reduce the engineering effort associated with adapting products to evolving regulatory standards.
The solution supports broader EU sustainability objectives by helping manufacturers meet both active-mode efficiency requirements and increasingly strict limits on standby and off-mode power consumption for appliances sold within the European market.
The ICE188LM, ICE189LM, and ICE180LM are available immediately. Product documentation and additional design resources are available through Infineon.
