Infineon Technologies and DG Matrix have formed a strategic alliance to integrate advanced silicon carbide (SiC) technology into DG Matrix’s Interport multi-port transformer platforms. This collaboration is expected to improve the efficiency, power density, and reliability of DG Matrix’s solid-state transformer (SST) systems, which are already utilized worldwide.
As part of this agreement, DG Matrix will procure SiC semiconductors from Infineon, aiming to bolster its global supply chain. Haroon Inam, CEO of DG Matrix, stated that the platform is engineered to maximize the performance benefits of SiC devices, enhancing the overall efficiency and reliability of their systems. Infineon anticipates that the global market for SSTs could reach approximately $1 billion in the next five years, highlighting substantial growth opportunities.
Infineon’s Executive Vice President, Andreas Weisl, pointed out that the demand for higher efficiency and reliability in AI data centers and electrification systems is increasing. The innovative architecture of DG Matrix’s multi-port SSTs allows for a significant reduction in size and weight compared to traditional transformers, making them pivotal for future grid modernization.
