We power AI: High density solutions for AI accelerators
In today’s rapidly evolving technological landscape, the demand for cutting-edge Artificial Intelligence (AI) solutions has never been greater. At the heart of these innovations lies an often-overlooked yet crucial component: power. As a leader in the semiconductor industry, we are at the forefront of powering AI from grid to core. This approach ensures that every stage of the power conversion process is optimized to meet the stringent demands of AI data centers. Enabling efficient power conversion from grid to core is essential for achieving superior power densities, thereby enhancing performance/watt while reducing the total cost of ownership (TCO). In this talk, we will focus on the final power conversion step, specifically the second stage down to the core voltage. Our power modules, which enable true vertical power delivery, significantly reduce power delivery network losses, thereby increasing overall system efficiency. Infineon high density solutions push the power density envelope without compromising thermal performance. Additionally, we will talk about our new quad module and demonstrate the benefits of its vertical power flow through chip embedding.
