Power electronics behind AI computing

In an interview displayed by the STAR Market Daily on October 18, Fangzheng Microelectronics vice-president of technology Liu Ren describes AI data centers as a second market for the company’s silicon-carbide power devices. He says related devices have completed validation with several major customers and that the DIP32 series has secured small-volume orders.

Changing the power architecture

Liu links demand to higher-voltage direct-current distribution and solid-state transformers, which raise the voltage requirements placed on power components. The article also covers new DIP32 modules introduced at a semiconductor exhibition. China AI Wire has not independently verified customer orders, and the interview’s expectations for faster adoption should not be treated as realized revenue.
