New Mouser and onsemi eBook Examines Power and Sensing Technologies for Next-Generation AI

Mouser Electronics, in collaboration with onsemi, has released a new eBook titled Powering and Sensing AI: From Cloud Infrastructure to Physical Autonomy. The July 15, 2026 publication compiles insights from experts at onsemi, Amazon, Google, Meta, and Tesla, focusing on the hardware innovations—particularly in power semiconductors and sensing—that enable AI to move from cloud data centers into robots, industrial systems, and autonomous machines.

Addressing Power Challenges in AI Infrastructure

As AI workloads expand, data centers face mounting pressure to deliver efficient power to increasingly dense computing environments. The eBook explores how higher-voltage architectures and wide-bandgap semiconductors—silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN)—are helping operators improve efficiency, reduce thermal management demands, and lower overall energy consumption. These technologies are critical as AI scales from hyperscale data centers to edge infrastructure and industrial systems.

The Growing Role of Sensing in Physical AI

While vision remains central to autonomous systems, the eBook highlights how intelligent machines now rely on a combination of image, force, torque, position, and proximity sensing. High-quality sensing reduces processing overhead, cuts power consumption, improves response times, and enables more reliable AI decision-making at the edge. The publication examines how sensor fusion and local data processing benefit autonomous and AI-enabled systems, reducing latency and enhancing safety in robotics and collaborative machines.

Key Topics Covered

• Reshaping power requirements across data centers, edge infrastructure, and industrial systems due to growing AI workloads.
• The role of SiC and GaN technologies in boosting power efficiency, mitigating thermal challenges, and supporting higher power densities.
