Infineon acquires Bangalore-based C2i Semiconductors
Infineon has acquired C2i Semiconductors, a Bangalore-based technology company specialising in software-defined multiphase controllers and smart power stages for AI data centre applications.
"This acquisition will further strengthen Infineon’s leadership in power solutions for AI data centres and create a new centre of excellence for digital power technologies in India," said Adam White, president of Infineon’s Power Systems (PS) division. "C2i Semiconductors brings exceptional expertise in software-defined power management and system-level power architectures, backed by a proven highly experienced engineering team with decades of combined industry experience. With this acquisition, we will accelerate innovation in power delivery solutions for AI data centres, expand our capabilities in next-generation vertical power delivery architectures, and create significant value for our customers."
Ram Anant (pictured above) founder & CEO of C2i Semiconductors said: "We founded C2i Semiconductors with the vision of bringing greater intelligence to power delivery systems and addressing the growing power challenges of AI infrastructure. Joining Infineon gives us access to world-class semiconductor technologies, manufacturing capabilities, and global customer relationships. Together, we can accelerate the development of software-defined power architectures and bring our innovations to customers worldwide," says Ram Anant, founder & CEO of C2i Semiconductors. "
Software-defined power solutions combine advanced power semiconductors with intelligent digital control and software algorithms to optimise power conversion, regulation and system performance in real time. As increasingly powerful AI processors create highly dynamic and rapidly changing power demands, power delivery systems must respond faster and more precisely to sudden load fluctuations while maintaining efficiency and system stability. By adding intelligence to the power delivery architecture, software-defined solutions help data centre operators improve efficiency, reduce power losses, and support the increasing power density requirements of next-generation AI processors. C2i Semiconductors’ technology takes a system-level approach to power delivery, spanning the path from grid to core and enabling more intelligent and adaptive power architectures for AI infrastructure.
