Navitas GaN and SiC Technologies to Enable Next-Gen AI Power Delivery
March 11 2024 - 8:40AM
Navitas Semiconductor, the only pure-play, next-generation power
semiconductor company and industry leader in gallium nitride (GaN)
power ICs and silicon carbide (SiC) technology, has announced their
AI data center technology roadmap for to up to 3x power increase to
support similar exponential growth in AI power demands expected in
just the next 12-18 months.
Traditional CPUs require typically only 300W and the data center
ac/dc power supplies would typically power the equivalent of 10 of
these or 3,000W (3kW). High-performance AI processors like NVIDIA’s
‘Grace Hopper’ H100 are already demanding 700W each today, with
next-gen ‘Blackwell’ B100 & B200 chips anticipated to increase
to 1,000W or more by next year. To meet this exponential power
increase, Navitas is developing server power platforms which
rapidly increase from 3kW to up to 10kW. In August 2023, Navitas
introduced a 3.2kW data center power platform utilizing latest GaN
technology enabling over 100W/in3 and over 96.5% efficiency. Now,
Navitas is releasing a 4.5kW platform enabled by a combination of
GaN and SiC to push densities over 130W/in3 and efficiencies over
97%. These two platforms have already generated significant market
interest with over 20 data center customer projects in development
expected to drive millions in GaN or SiC revenues starting this
year.
Today, Navitas also announces its plans to introduce an 8-10kW
power platform by the end of 2024 to support 2025 AI power
requirements. The platform will utilize newer GaN and SiC
technologies and further advances in architecture to set all-new
industry standards in power density, efficiency and time-to-market.
Navitas is already engaged with major data-center customers, with
full platform launch anticipated in Q4 ’24, completing this 3x
increase in power demands in only 12-18 months.
Navitas’ unique data-center design center is creating these
system designs to address the dramatic increases in AI data center
power requirements, and assist customers to deploy platforms
quickly and effectively to meet the accelerated time-to-market
demands of rapid AI advances. System designs include complete
design collateral with fully-tested hardware, schematics,
bill-of-materials, layout, simulation and hardware test results to
maximize first-time-right designs and fast revenue generation.
“The rapid development and deployment of artificial intelligence
(AI) into global data centers has created a dramatic and unexpected
power challenge for our entire industry,” noted Gene Sheridan,
Navitas’ CEO and Co-Founder. “Our investment in leading-edge GaN
and SiC technologies, combined with our unique data-center design
center capabilities, have positioned us well. Our team has really
stepped up to the challenge, with a 3x power increase in less than
18 months.”
