    Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. announced the appointment of Mr. John Malvisi to its Board of Directors and its Audit Committee.

    Mr. Malvisi retired in 2021 as a senior partner in Deloitte & Touche LLP’s audit practice with more than 35 years of client service experience. During his career, Mr. Malvisi has managed several of Deloitte’s largest audit clients in the media & entertainment, and consumer products industries. He also spent several years in the firm’s Merger & Acquisition Services Group and National Office.

    Mr. Malvisi worked in Deloitte’s National Office Assurance Insights & Analysis Group and Accounting Research Group, where his responsibilities included quality and risk control and consultation on a wide range of accounting and financial reporting issues. He is a graduate of Fordham University, where he received an MBA in public accounting. Mr. Malvisi also served on the Board of Trustees for Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of New York from 2008 through 2022, including its Audit Committee.

    Marc Zandman, Executive Chairman of the Board, said of the appointment, “John’s extensive experience and leadership in the accounting and auditing profession, as well as his M&A background and experience in corporate governance matters, bring important perspectives to the Board of Directors. We welcome him to the Board and look forward to his contributions, expertise and insights to Vishay’s strategic direction and growth plans.”

    The ever-increasing power demand in data centers and computing applications requires advancements in power efficiency and compact power supply design. Infineon Technologies AG responds to trends on the system level by introducing its new OptiMOS™ 7 family, industry’s first 15 V trench power MOSFET technology. The OptiMOS 7 15 V series primarily targets optimized DC-DC conversion for servers, computing, datacenter, and artificial intelligence applications.

    The product portfolio includes the latest PQFN 3.3 x 3.3 mm² Source-Down, with bottom- and dual-side cooling variants in standard- and center-gate footprints. The portfolio also includes a robust PQFN 2 x 2 mm² variant with a reinforced clip. The OptiMOS 7 15 V technology is specifically tailored for DC-DC conversions with low output voltages, particularly in server and computing environments. This advancement aligns with emerging shifts towards high ratio DC-DC conversion in data-center power distribution.

    Compared to the established OptiMOS5 25 V, the new OptiMOS 7 15 V achieves a reduction of R DS(on) and FOMQ g by ~30 percent, and FOMQ OSS by ~50 percent by lowering the breakdown voltage. The PQFN 3.3 x 3.3 mm² Source-Down package variants provide a more versatile and effective PCB-design. Furthermore, the PQFN 2 x 2 mm² package provides a pulsed current capability higher than 500 A and a typical R thJC of 1.6 K/W.

    By minimizing conduction and switching losses and incorporating advanced packaging technology, thermal management becomes easy and effective, setting new benchmarks both for power density and overall efficiency.
