What the shared parts are
- 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.
- 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.
- 800 V DC architecture & solid-state transformers — An emerging DC power distribution architecture, using 800 V DC in place of the AC busbar and power-shelf approach current racks use, paired with solid-state transformers (SSTs) that could replace multiple stages of conventional AC transformation.

Questions
- Do Infineon and Wolfspeed compete?
- In this catalog they are both placed on 4 of the same parts, across 2 layers: GaN and SiC, GaN and SiC inside, IGBT and SiC modules, 800 V DC architecture & solid-state transformers. Sharing a part does not mean selling the same product to the same buyer, so read each row's product note.
- Which has more placements, Infineon or Wolfspeed?
- Infineon has 6 placements and Wolfspeed has 4. Placement counts reflect how thoroughly each company has been catalogued as well as its real breadth, so they are not a ranking.
Generated from the catalog's part-to-company table. Each placement is tagged disclosed, reported or inferred; see sources & method. Neither company is endorsed or ranked here.
