AI Data Center Server & Rack Power

Server and Rack Power Solutions

As AI data centers scale toward higher rack power levels, the efficiency and architecture of DC‑DC conversion have become central to reliable power delivery. Modern rack‑based power systems increasingly rely on high‑voltage or intermediate DC buses, such as 400V or 48V, to reduce distribution losses, which places greater importance on high‑efficiency, high‑density DC‑DC converters at the rack and board level. These converters must deliver precise regulation, fast transient response and robust thermal performance while minimizing conversion stages. Advances in wide‑bandgap devices, digital control and integrated power modules are enabling scalable DC‑DC solutions that improve end‑to‑end efficiency, simplify power architectures and support the evolving demands of AI infrastructure.

Intermediate BUS Conversion (48V to 12V)

Simplify the transition to high-efficiency 48V power architectures by delivering scalable intermediate bus conversion solutions tailored for data centers, AI platforms, networking equipment and industrial systems. With highly integrated DC-DC converters, digital power controllers and intelligent power modules, customers can reduce thermal losses, improve power density and support rapidly increasing processor and accelerator power demands. Our flexible power solutions enable designers to streamline system development; optimize board space and achieve reliable, energy-efficient power delivery from 48V intermediate buses down to core voltage rails across next-generation computing platforms.
