Power Integrations Collaborates with Nvidia to Revolutionize Power Supply Solutions

Power Integrations has initiated a collaborative venture with Nvidia to enhance power supply solutions in data centers. This partnership aims to enable data centers to operate at higher voltages to improve efficiency and reduce power loss.

High-Voltage Power Distribution in AI Data Centers

Nvidia has started an initiative to transition AI data centers to utilize 800 volts of direct current. This shift from traditional alternating current can lower the power loss experienced in these facilities.

Role of Power Integrations

Based in San Francisco, Power Integrations specializes in creating chips using gallium nitride (GaN), which are optimal for high-power applications. These chips can efficiently handle the power distribution needs of Nvidia’s technology while saving space in the data centers.

  • Gallium nitride chips provide high efficiency in power delivery.
  • They occupy less space compared to traditional materials.

Strategic Advantages

Power Integrations’ experience in the automotive sector strengthens its collaboration with Nvidia. The company’s automotive qualifications have instilled confidence in its GaN technology’s reliability.

Industry Competition

Power Integrations joins a list of approved suppliers that includes competitors from Europe and China, such as Infineon and InnoScience.

Financial Overview and Future Prospects

  • The company reported a revenue of $419 million in the last fiscal year.
  • Future revenue projections related to this collaboration have not been disclosed.
  • No specific timeline for GaN chip supply has been announced.

As Power Integrations and Nvidia push forward, Emegypt continues to monitor the progress and potential impacts on the data center landscape.
