Infineon Technologies, which describes itself as a global semiconductor leader in power systems and IoT, has announced the acquisition of India’s C2i Semiconductors, a technology company specialising in software-defined multiphase controllers and smart power stages for AI data centre applications.

Infineon says that C2i Semiconductors’ technology complements its portfolio of power semiconductors and power systems, enabling intelligent and scalable power delivery architectures from grid to core for AI servers and high-performance computing platforms.

The acquisition also strengthens Infineon’s position in power solutions for AI data centres and adds highly specialised expertise in software-defined power management to Infineon’s global R&D network. In addition, it expands Infineon’s engineering capabilities in India, where it currently has approximately 2,800 employees, and reinforces the country’s role as a strategic innovation hub.

Adam White, President of Infineon’s Power Systems (PS) division, explains: "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," adding: "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, Founder & CEO of C2i Semiconductors, adds: "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."

By adding intelligence to the power delivery architecture, Infineon says, 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.

The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2026.
