Efficient, reliable and scalable BBUs for uninterrupted AI operations

In today's digitally driven world, data centers play a vital role in powering global operations. However, even the smallest power disruptions can lead to catastrophic financial and operational consequences. Against these risks, battery backup units represent the first line of defense, safeguarding continuous power and reliable operations.

Designing BBUs comes with unique challenges, including meeting growing demands for higher power, higher power densities, improved efficiency, and stricter space constraints in the servers. To address these challenges, innovative designs and advanced semiconductor technologies are essential: Infineon offers a range of reference designs for battery backup units from 4 to 12 kW based on the proprietary Partial Power Converter (PPC) topology.

Our 12 kW reference design offers:

• Increased power density (+400% vs predecessor)
• Best-in-class efficiency thanks to our OptiMOS™ 7 MOSFETs
• Turnkey solution including hardware and software
• Scalability and simplified maintenance
