Infineon Technologies AG Munich (Infineon Technologies AG) and DG Matrix, a company focused on solid-state transformer (SST) solutions, announced a partnership to improve the efficiency of the electrical energy conversion required to connect artificial intelligence data centers and industrial power applications to the public grid.
As part of the partnership, DG Matrix will use Infineon's latest generation of silicon carbide (SiC) technology for its Interport multi-port solid-state transformer platform. This move will not only strengthen DG Matrix's semiconductor supply chain, but will also improve the efficiency, power density and reliability of its globally deployed SST systems.
"AI data centers and next-generation electrification systems are increasingly demanding efficiency, power density and reliability. With Infineon's leading silicon carbide power semiconductors, solid-state technology can achieve this level of performance and value," said Andreas Weisl, Executive Vice President and Chief Sales Officer, Infineon Industrial and Infrastructure. "We are therefore pleased to support DG Matrix with the latest generation of silicon carbide technology to help build a scalable, high-performance power infrastructure. DG Matrix's multi-port solid-state transformer architecture represents an innovative approach to power conversion," he added.
Haroon Inam, CEO and co-founder of DG Matrix, said: "Our multi-port architecture is designed to take full advantage of the performance potential of silicon carbide." "Infineon's latest generation of SiC devices strengthen our supply chain and improve the efficiency, power density and reliability of Interport platforms. This collaboration supports our mission to deploy faster and more efficient power infrastructure worldwide to serve AI data centers and electrification."
With the acceleration of electrification and digitalization, energy-intensive applications such as artificial intelligence data centers are emerging one after another, and global power demand continues to rise. In this regard, the modern power grid must achieve expansion under the premise of maintaining stability, which is inseparable from the support of high-performance semiconductor technology. A new generation of semiconductor-based power infrastructure solutions, represented by the DG Matrix SST platform, enables a smarter, more efficient and more reliable power grid. Infineon's latest SiC power semiconductors are a key enabling technology to meet the demanding efficiency and power density requirements of AI data centers, electric vehicle charging infrastructure, renewable energy systems and microgrids.
Looking ahead, as DG Matrix moves towards higher voltage platforms and larger scale production, the two companies expect to maintain continued synergy on the roadmap for next-generation SiC devices.
The companies say that the full integration of Infineon's SiC technology across DG Matrix's expanding family of Interport products will help them achieve their mission of accelerating the global deployment of scalable, resilient and efficient power infrastructures for AI data center and industrial power applications.
