Infineon highlights power solutions portfolio at APEC 2024
At the IEEE Applied Power Electronics Conference & Exposition (APEC 2024) in Long Beach, CA, USA (25–29 February), Infineon Technologies AG of Munich, Germany has detailed its plans to highlight what it claims is the industry’s broadest range of power electronic devices – spanning silicon, silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN) materials – including wide-bandgap solutions offering the highest efficiency and power density.
Infineon’s two booths, #1013 and #1319 (Infineon + GaN Systems), feature demonstrations of a broad range of applications. Booth #1013 is organized in six application zones:
- USB-C/Charging. Infineon’s latest AC/DC and DC/DC USB-C PD chargers are to be seen along with system power solutions for next-generation applications such as laptops and notebooks.
- Motor controls. The company’s latest brushless DC (BLDC) motor drive solutions for future power tools and robotic applications are on display. Rad-hard reaction wheel motor drives for satellites and space applications are also being demonstrated.
- Data centers. Infineon demonstrations include a complete artificial intelligence (AI) server solution, a digital power hot-swap solution, and a liquid-cooled high-density power supply optimized for next-generation applications. Also on show are Infineon’s latest high-density dual-phase power modules that reduce the total cost of ownership in generative AI data centers.
- Electric vehicles (EVs). Infineon’s latest 50kW and 22kW EV chargers can be seen, along with SiC- and GaN-based on-board charging solutions, and the company’s latest Hybrid PAK-based inverter for next-generation EVs.
- Renewables & energy storage. Highlighting critical energy applications, this demonstration area features the company’s latest solar DC/DC maximizers, along with DC-to-AC inverters, a bi-directional PFC/inverter, and DC-to-DC converters.
- Industrial control. Infineon’s growing portfolio of solid-state relays and circuit breakers used to replace electromechanical switches are being highlighted.
Infineon’s second booth (#1319) is showcasing its expanded portfolio of GaN solutions, such as class D audio amplifiers, data-center power supplies, and consumer reference designs.
In addition to exhibits in booths #1013 and #1319, Infineon is also a contributor to the conference program, participating in more than 30 industry and technical sessions.
