Infineon introduces Power System Reliability Modelling

With 39% of downtimes attributed to power outages and an average cost of $687,700 per downtime, the need for seamless operations and mitigation of financial impact is urgent. By integrating Infineon’s power monitoring solution, organisations can enhance operational resilience, reduce their carbon footprint, and achieve substantial cost savings. The offering consists of an algorithm running on a digital power controller, integrating both software and hardware. This aligns with Infineon’s strategic approach to provide customers with comprehensive system solutions, including both semiconductor devices and matching software tools. Target applications include DC/DC converters, AC/DC rectifiers, and IBC modules used in data centres, AI servers, GPUs, and telecom networks.

Power System Reliability Modelling bridges the gap between component and system reliability. It enables real-time power supply health monitoring and lifetime estimation based on dynamic system operating parameters, a power supply system model, and a reliability prediction procedure in Infineon’s digital power controllers. This solution ensures improved device utilisation and data-driven maintenance recommendations, leading to enhanced profitability and reduced Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). Customers benefit from real-time system diagnostics, powerful system reliability-based decisions, and quality assurance. The solution is easy to use and integrate into existing designs.

“The Power System Reliability Modelling represents a pivotal step for Infineon and its customers towards reliable and stable power supply in data centres,” said Adam White, Division President Power & Sensor Systems at Infineon. “Following our Product to System approach, the solution focuses on delivering hardware integrated with advanced software capabilities. This approach not only expands product capabilities and scope, but also empowers our customers to create more value and scale their operations faster.”
