Infineon introduces power system reliability modeling to reduce power shortages and outages in data center systems

     Infineon Technologies AG introduces reliability modeling for power systems. This innovative solution addresses the growing problem of system power failures in data centers and telecommunications infrastructure. With 39% of these facilities' downtime caused by outages, and an average cost of $687,700 per outage, there is an urgent need to operate seamlessly and mitigate the financial impact. By integrating Infineon's power monitoring solutions, companies can increase operational resilience, reduce their carbon footprint and significantly reduce costs.

     The product includes an algorithm that runs on a digital power controller and thus enables hardware and software integration, which is in line with Infineon's strategic approach to provide customers with integrated system solutions including semiconductor devices and supporting software tools. The solution is suitable for applications such as DC-DC converters, AC-DC rectifiers and IBC modules used in data centers, AI servers, Gpus and telecommunications networks.

     Power system reliability modeling is a "bridge" connecting component and system reliability. It monitors the power health of a system in real time and estimates its service life based on dynamic system operating parameters, power system models and reliability prediction procedures in Infineon digital power controllers. The solution improves equipment utilization and provides data-driven maintenance recommendations to increase profitability and reduce total cost of ownership (TCO). Customers benefit from real-time system diagnostics of the power supply, as well as robust decision-making and quality assurance based on system reliability. The solution is easy to use and can be integrated into existing designs.

     Adam White, President of Power and Sensing Systems at Infineon Technologies, said: "Power system reliability modeling is a key step for Infineon and its customers to achieve reliability and stability of the power supply in the data center. This solution follows our product-to-system approach, focusing on providing hardware that integrates advanced software capabilities to not only extend product functionality and scope, but also help our customers create more value and scale operations faster."
