“The acquisition strengthens Infineon’s leading position in power supply solutions for AI data centers and creates a new center of excellence for digital energy technologies in India,” says Adam White, president of Infineon’s Power Systems (PS) division. “C2i Semiconductors brings outstanding expertise in software-defined energy management and system-wide power supply architectures—backed by a highly skilled development team with decades of industry experience. With this acquisition, we are accelerating innovation in power supply solutions for AI data centers, expanding our capabilities in next-generation vertical power supply architectures, and creating significant value for our customers.”

“We founded C2i Semiconductors with the goal of bringing more intelligence to power management systems and addressing the growing power-related challenges of AI infrastructure. The merger with 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 supply architectures and make these innovations available to our customers worldwide,” says Ram Anant, co-founder and CEO of C2i Semiconductors.   

Software-defined power supply solutions combine advanced power semiconductors with intelligent, digital control and software algorithms to optimize power conversion, voltage regulation, and system performance in real time. As increasingly powerful AI processors place highly dynamic and rapidly changing demands on the power supply, power systems must respond more quickly and precisely to sudden load fluctuations while ensuring efficiency and system stability. By integrating intelligence into the power supply architecture, software-defined solutions help data center operators improve efficiency, reduce power losses, and meet the increasing power density requirements of next-generation AI processors. C2i Semiconductors’ technology takes a holistic approach to power delivery—from the grid to the processor core—enabling smarter and more adaptive power supply architectures for AI infrastructure.

The acquisition combines C2i Semiconductors’ expertise in digital power with Infineon’s global presence, application know-how, and broad portfolio of power semiconductors, including silicon, silicon carbide (SiC), and gallium nitride (GaN) technologies, as well as solutions for vertical power delivery—further paving the way for future Substrate Integrated Voltage Regulators (SIVR) for powering AI systems. Together, the companies will accelerate innovation in power supply systems for AI and support the growing performance and efficiency requirements of next-generation AI infrastructure.

In addition, the transaction complements Infineon’s global R&D network with highly specialized expertise in software-defined power management and further expands the company’s innovation capabilities in India. Infineon currently employs approximately 2,800 people in India—one of the world’s most dynamic semiconductor and technology ecosystems.
