The global shift towards high-performance digital infrastructure, the electrification of mobility, and the use of renewable energy are driving power electronics into a new era of efficiency, power density, and reliability.
Diotec Semiconductor AG has positioned itself as a focused specialist in exactly this domain. With a strong portfolio of low-loss silicon rectifiers and power MOSFETs, ultra-fast recovery diodes, high-temperature Schottky devices, ESD protection, and rapidly expanding silicon carbide (SiC) offerings, the company helps customers optimize conduction losses, reverse recovery behavior, and thermal margins across a wide range of topologies.
In high-power PFC stages, traction inverters, and DC/DC converters, Diotec’s SiC Schottky diodes enable significantly reduced switching losses and virtually zero reverse recovery charge, allowing designers to increase switching frequency, shrink magnetic components, and simplify cooling concepts. In parallel, ruggedized TVS and protection devices with high surge capability and controlled clamping behavior safeguard sensitive power stages against load dump, lightning transients, and repetitive industrial surges—critical for automotive, energy storage, and grid-connected systems.
Several customers have already translated these device-level advantages into tangible system benefits: higher inverter efficiency in the megawatt class, compact, fast-charging modules with improved thermal headroom, and power supplies for data centers that achieve higher power density with reduced total cost of ownership. These successes are the result of close cooperation between component supplier and system designer.
At APEC 2026, Diotec will demonstrate how advanced silicon and SiC technologies, combined with application-driven engineering and a clear long-term roadmap, are helping customers push the limits of efficiency, power density, and reliability—powering the next generation of energy conversion systems.
