India, May 28 -- Microchip Technology has announced the availability of its new 3.3 kV HV-D3 mSiC power modules, aimed at simplifying the adoption of solid-state transformers (SSTs) in artificial intelligence (AI) hyperscale data centres and other high-voltage power applications.

The new modules integrate 3.3 kV silicon carbide (SiC) metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) and Schottky diodes in an industry-standard 62 mm package. According to Microchip, the modules are designed to support efficient power delivery from the medium-voltage grid directly to the server rack.

The launch comes as AI data centres face rising pressure around power availability, conversion efficiency, cooling, and rack-level energy density. ...
