en.Wedoany.com Reported - Wolfspeed has established a dedicated data center solutions team and opened a regional office in the San Francisco Bay Area, officially entering the rapidly growing data center market. The new division aims to strengthen collaboration with hyperscale cloud providers, original design manufacturers (ODMs), and other ecosystem partners building next-generation AI infrastructure and high-performance computing platforms.
The team will focus on providing power solutions based on silicon carbide (SiC) to address challenges posed by increased power consumption and higher rack density in modern data centers, meeting the demand for more efficient power conversion architectures. Wolfspeed plans to leverage its expertise in wide-bandgap semiconductors to develop high-voltage power technologies that reduce energy loss, increase power density, and improve the efficiency of AI servers and large-scale computing clusters.
To lead this expansion, Wolfspeed has appointed Ganesh Srinivasan as Senior Vice President of the Data Center Solutions team. Srinivasan brings extensive experience in data center power and connectivity technologies, having worked closely with hyperscale operators and the ODM ecosystem to develop end-to-end power and signal connectivity solutions for high-density AI environments. Prior to joining Wolfspeed, he served as Vice President of Product Management for AI, Cloud, and Enterprise Business at TE Connectivity, and spent over 17 years at Texas Instruments managing multiple power semiconductor product lines. Srinivasan holds a Master's and Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology.
Yogesh Ramadass has been appointed as Vice President and Fellow of Power System Solutions within the new division. Ramadass is known for his expertise in high- and low-voltage power topologies and has published over 160 technical papers. Before joining Wolfspeed, he led R&D activities in high-voltage power management, MEMS, and sensor technologies at Texas Instruments. He holds an S.M. and Ph.D. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and has served as an IEEE Distinguished Lecturer and Chair of the ISSCC Power Management Subcommittee.
The formation of Wolfspeed's new team reflects its long-term strategy to expand its presence in power-intensive applications beyond traditional markets. The rapid growth of AI workloads is driving increased data center power consumption, creating opportunities for advanced semiconductor technologies such as silicon carbide (SiC). Compared to traditional silicon-based solutions, SiC offers lower switching losses, higher operating voltages, and superior thermal performance.
By combining its SiC technology portfolio with power architecture expertise and working closely with hyperscale operators and system designers, Wolfspeed plans to develop differentiated power solutions to address efficiency and scalability challenges in next-generation AI infrastructure.
