Big things come in small packages. Could something smaller than a deck of cards be instrumental in our ability to meet the needs of the energy transition?
In the ever-evolving landscape of power electronics, one material has been steadily gaining prominence due to its exceptional properties and transformative potential: Silicon Carbide (SiC). This remarkable semiconductor has revolutionized various industries, from automotive to aerospace, with its ability to operate at high temperatures, voltages and frequencies.
As data centers and energy infrastructure increasingly need higher-voltage, higher-current devices to meet the demands for AI, this technology will enable the transition to a higher voltage platform while maintaining the high-efficiency requirements for continuously running, power-intensive systems.
In today’s conversation, Josh Beck chats with Infineon Technologies’ Daniel Dalpiaz and Navid Riaz to explore the breakthrough hardware enabling the next generation of renewables, energy storage, EV charging, and high-power data centers. Infineon’s silicon carbide devices pack serious voltage into incredibly compact, rugged designs, and have become the “intel-inside” of the clean energy revolution.
In this episode, you’ll hear how Infineon’s latest innovation could shrink your cooling system, boost reliability, and push clean energy forward at scale.
Expect to learn:
🔹 Why shrinking the form factor unlocks new potential for grid-connected renewables
🔹 How silicon carbide and gallium nitride are changing power electronics
🔹 The surprising sectors driving demand for Infineon’s new tech
🔹 What 20x the power cycling capability actually means for reliability
You’re about to get a front-row seat to the tiny tech making a massive impact.
