Powering today’s urgent needs in HVAC, UPS and Liquid Cooling to tomorrow’s new designs integrating SSTs and SSCBs for GW-scale AI Data Centers.

About

We Power AI - from grid to core

Powering AI means meeting the rapidly growing energy and thermal demands of modern artificial intelligence systems. As AI workloads scale exponentially, data centers must evolve to deliver higher efficiency, lower total cost of ownership (TCO), and uncompromising reliability.

This transformation goes far beyond conventional power delivery. It includes advanced architectures such as solid-state transformers (SST) for efficient medium-voltage conversion, solid-state circuit breakers (SSCB) for fast and precise protection, and highly efficient uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) to guarantee continuous operation. At the same time, liquid cooling solutions are becoming essential to manage the extreme heat densities generated by AI processors, enabling higher performance while maintaining energy efficiency.

Infineon Technologies AG is at the forefront of this evolution, providing a comprehensive portfolio across semiconductor technologies, voltage classes, and complementary ICs. These solutions enable the entire power infrastructure of AI data centers—from grid connection and power conversion to distribution, protection, and thermal management.

Simply put: there is no AI without power.

Power Conversion - Solid-State Transformer

As global electricity demand surges—driven by data centers, transport electrification, growing industrial use, and rising cooling needs—traditional power grids face significant strain. Solid-state transformers (SSTs) offer a game-changing solution, redefining how public grids connect to end devices. SSTs leverage advanced semiconductor technology to create a universal power electronic stack, replacing traditional architectures based on low-frequency transformers. As a global leader in power electronics, Infineon empowers energy-efficient SST designs. With a comprehensive, ready-to-use portfolio, Infineon covers everything from power conversion and microcontrollers to security, auxiliary power supply, sensing and communication.

Protection enabled by Solid State Circuit Breakers

Electro-mechanical circuit breakers were developed a 100 years ago. Now it is time for a smart, intelligent solid-state device. While conventional electro-mechanical components exhibit performance limitations, solid-state solutions unleash unprecedented control and protection capabilities. For AC systems solid-state enables cost efficient and reliable solutions on a broad scale and integrates advanced functionality into one single device. For DC systems, a solid-state protection scheme is a MUST.

Fault fault isolation within microseconds to ensure selectivity and avoid failure propagation.

Backup Power – Uninterruptible power supplies (UPS)

Factors such as the rising trend towards the internet of things (IoT) and smart buildings, a growing number of datacenters across the globe, virtualization, and cloud computing are expected to drive the UPS market globally in the coming years. Uninterruptible power supplies provide power to critical loads in the event of a power failure. Unlike emergency generators, UPS systems provide power immediately, but only for a short period of a few minutes – until a backup power supply comes online or until the load completes its shutdown sequence. While continuity of power supply is an important functionality, it is not the only one: for example, a UPS system can also filter voltage spikes, voltage drops, or noise and ensures a constant frequency or guarantees a certain power quality.

Liquid and Air Cooling

We offer you a broad portfolio of efficient semiconductors optimized for motor control. You can rely on our intelligent power modules (IPMs) and discretes for smart designs in the low-power range. For medium-power drives, our EasyPIM™, EasyPACK™, and EconoPIM™ modules are the perfect match. Moving on to the high-power spectrum, EconoDUAL™ and PrimePACK™ are the solutions of choice. Combined with the innovative.XT interconnection technology, PrimePACK™ modules can help designers overcome the overrating dilemma as they extend the lifetime by raising thermal and power cycling capabilities.
