Infineon 80V MOSFETs target DC-DCs in AI servers
Infineon has announced that its OptiMOS 6 80V power MOSFETs in a compact 5x6 mm² dual side cooling (DSC) package have been integrated into the IBC stage of an AI server platform of a leading processor manufacturer.
Application tests show an efficiency increase of around 0.4 percent compared to previously used solutions, corresponding to a saving of around 4.3 W per kW of load. At the system level, this leads to significant energy savings when scaled across server racks or entire data centres.
For instance, scaling this across a hypothetical hyperscale data centre with 2,000 racks would result in over 1.2 MWh in energy savings every hour – the equivalent energy needed to charge 25 small electric vehicles. The implications of this development are substantial, with cost savings and reduced carbon footprint for data centre operators.
As the demand for AI computing continues to grow, the need for efficient power management solutions will increase. Infineon says its OptiMOS 6 80V is well-positioned to meet the growing energy-efficiency demand, offering a high-performance solution for AI server IBCs.
