How can we improve power conversion efficiency, especially at the AC-DC stage? In this fourth episode of our “We Power AI” podcast series, Gerald Deboy, Fellow and Head of the PSS Innovation Lab at Infineon, dives into the different stages of power conversion and explains why data centers should embrace a combination of Si, SiC and GaN semiconductors to support GenAI requirements.

How is genAI impacting power design? In this third episode of our “We power AI” podcast series, Carl Smith, Senior Director of Information & Communication Technologies application explains how data centers’ infrastructures are shifting from the traditional 12 V power distribution architecture and lateral core rail power delivery to more efficient and high-density 48 V architecture and vertical power delivery.

Is power becoming a bottleneck in AI servers? In this second episode of our “We power AI” podcast series, Athar Zaidi, Senior Vice President and Business Line Head of Power ICs and Connectivity Systems at Infineon’s Power & Sensor Systems Division, explains how data centers’ infrastructures shall adapt to sustain the increasing power requirements of GenAI, outlining different strategies to boost efficiency.
 

Everybody talks about AI, but what are the consequences of such data generation and processing surge? Our expert Adam will dive into what GenAI means in terms of power requirements and environmental impact, introducing possible solutions.

Insulated-gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) have been around for decades, but the 7th generation finally brings a much-awaited revolution. Our expert Blaž explains what the new IGBT7 technology means for silicon-based designs and what five “values” make it unique.

In this episode, our expert guests Dirk and Christoph explain “10 kWh for 100 km” and discuss how semiconductors not only enable decarbonization in eMobility, but also ensure the “fun-to-drive” factor.

The industry no longer looks at silicon carbide (SiC) as it did just a few short years ago. In this episode, EBV’s Milan Ivkovic and Infineon’s Peter Friedrichs discuss how the two companies have been working together to accelerate the adoption of SiC in a variety of applications.
