Infineon Launches TLVR Power Module for AI Server Power Demand
Infineon Technologies has launched the TDM24745T, a quad‑phase power module designed for AI server platforms. The compact 9 × 10 × 5 mm device integrates four power stages, a TLVR inductor and decoupling capacitors, achieving current densities above 2 A/mm² and peak currents up to 320 A. Its trans‑inductor voltage regulator architecture delivers faster transient response while reducing external capacitance, simplifying board layouts. The module leverages OptiMOS‑6 MOSFET technology and can be paired with digital multiphase controllers for scalable AI accelerator power delivery.
