What Infineon makes for data centers
public · HQ Neubiberg, Germany · infineon.com
Infineon makes power semiconductors for the data-center power chain: CoolSiC silicon carbide MOSFETs, GaN transistors, smart power stages, and voltage regulators used in server power delivery, power shelves, PSUs, and emerging 800 V DC architectures. These sit mainly in its Power & Sensor Systems segment.

Where Infineon sits in the stack
Infineon's placements in this catalog cover 6 parts, from layer 4 (servers, racks & integration) to layer 7 (electrical: power distribution (grid to rack)). None of them currently carries a sourced supply constraint tag. Across these parts it overlaps with other companies most often on the lines below.
What these parts are
- Board-level power: VRMs, power stages, PoL, power semis — The voltage regulator modules and point-of-load converters that step rack-level DC power down to the precise, high-current voltages each GPU and chip needs at the board.
- GaN and SiC — Gallium-nitride and silicon-carbide power semiconductors used inside VRMs and power stages to switch at higher frequency and efficiency than silicon at the currents modern GPU boards need.
- Timing, security & misc board silicon — Clock and timing chips, TPM security modules, and boot flash — the smaller fixed-function silicon that supports the CPU, GPU and BMC on every board without doing the compute itself.
- GaN and SiC inside — Wide-bandgap gallium-nitride and silicon-carbide power devices used inside the power shelf's AC-DC and DC-DC conversion stages for higher efficiency and power density than silicon.
- IGBT and SiC modules — Silicon and silicon-carbide power semiconductor modules that perform the AC-DC-AC conversion inside a UPS.
- and 1 more in the table above.
