Infineon and DG Matrix use SiC to drive SST technology
Infineon and DG Matrix, a developer of Solid-State Transformer (SST) solutions, are partnering to enhance the efficiency of power conversion required to connect AI data centres and industrial power applications to the public grid.
As part of the collaboration, DG Matrix will source latest-generation SiC technology from Infineon for use in its Interport multi-port solid-state transformer platform. This strengthens DG Matrix's semiconductor supply chain and enhances the efficiency, power density, and reliability of its SST systems, which are deployed worldwide.
"AI data centres and next-generation electrification systems demand higher efficiency, higher power density and uncompromising reliability. Solid-state technology, enabled by Infineon's leading SiC power semiconductors, can deliver this next level of performance and value. Therefore, we are pleased to support DG Matrix with our latest-generation SiC technology to help enable scalable, high-performance power infrastructure. DG Matrix's multi-port solid-state transformer architecture represents an innovative approach to power conversion," said Andreas Weisl, executive ViP and chief sales officer of Industrial and Infrastructure at Infineon.
Compared to conventional transformers, SSTs are up to 14 times smaller and 40 times lighter and can be deployed much faster. SSTs are a key future technology that connects the public grid to energy-intensive and industrial applications such as AI data centres, while actively controlling voltage, power quality and energy flow. Infineon expects that the global semiconductor market volume for SSTs could reach up to one billion US dollars in the next five years.
"Our multi-port architecture was designed to take full advantage of the performance envelope that SiC enables. Infineon's latest-generation SiC devices strengthen our supply chain and enhance the efficiency, power density and reliability of our Interport platforms. This collaboration supports our mission to deploy faster, more efficient power infrastructure for AI data centres and electrification worldwide," Haroon Inam, CEO & co-founder of DG Matrix, said.
Looking ahead, both companies expect continued alignment on next-generation SiC device roadmaps as DG Matrix scales toward higher-voltage platforms and higher-volume production. The integration of Infineon's SiC technology across DG Matrix's expanding Interport product family supports the two companies' mission to accelerate the global deployment of scalable, resilient and efficient power infrastructure for AI data centres and industrial power applications.
