  1. GaN: The Future of Data Center Power Today's data centers face mounting pressure from rising demands, increased cooling costs, and sustainability requirements. Traditional silicon- based power systems are struggling to keep up, generating excessive heat and driving up infrastructure costs. Enter gallium nitride (GaN) - a lighter, more compact material with high switching frequency that delivers higher efficiency and lower heat output for superior performance in high-load operations.

  2. Key Applications in Data Centers SMPS Power Supply POL Converters HPC & AI Clusters GaN technology improves conversion efficiency from AC grid power to DC for server racks, reducing energy waste. Point of Load converters on server boards benefit from GaN's compact and efficient voltage regulation capabilities. AI workloads require high, stable power with low latency - delivered efficiently through GaN's fast switching frequency and low EMI.

  3. Sustainable Benefits Reduced Carbon Footprint Less heat generation means less energy waste, significantly reducing environmental impact. Lower Cooling Requirements Reduced heat expenditure decreases need for fans, chillers, and liquid cooling systems. Compact Design Fewer materials used and reduced hardware sprawl aligns with ESG goals for cloud providers and hyperscalers.

  4. Future Outlook This is just the beginning for GaN technologies. Major players like Navitas, Infineon, and Transphorm are investing heavily in R&D, developing data center- grade GaN ICs. 1 Current Investment Cloud giants Amazon, Microsoft, and Google actively researching GaN-powered infrastructure for sustainability benefits. 2 Rising Workloads AI processing and 8K streaming demands are driving data center efficiency requirements higher. 3 Key Enabler GaN positioned as essential efficiency enabler for next-generation data center operations.
