Infineon today announced that it has reached a definitive agreement on the sale of Infineon's HiRel DC-DC converter business, including its hybrid and custom on-board power products, to Micross, according to marketwatch. The transaction is expected to be completed in the first quarter of this year.

Infineon officials said the sale will enable Infineon to expand its focus and investment in core semiconductor development for the high-reliability market, while de-emphasizing the need to provide more custom products for the high-reliability industry in the business.

The HiRel DC-DC converter business is understood to be a solution for high-reliability DC-DC power conversion for the harshest environments, including outer space, and will operate under the Micross Hi-Rel Products business unit, including main power converters, control circuits, filters and enclosures.

In December last year, Infineon announced that it was working to optimize DC-DC designs and that the company would be rolling out a new generation of DC-DC power solutions to help customers build low-energy, high-performance data centers.
