Welcome to our LinkedIn newsletter!

Introduction

In this inaugral edition of our new LinkedIn newsletter, we wanted to take the opportunity to inform you of our activities in the field of Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning, and how we are addressing the ever growing power demands of this booming marketplace, especially as applications such as ChatGPT and Bard for example are becoming more widely used in our day to day lives.

Overview

Artificial Intelligence is evolving rapidly and has surpassed human decision making capabilities in several instances. It is already producing some of the most effective and impactful results seen in today’s businesses.

Many new AI-based products and services rely heavily on the cloud. AI can be extremely compute-intensive where local or edge devices struggle to manage everything independently. As such, power delivery and power efficiency have become key concerns in large scale computing systems. The industry is experiencing a dramatic increase in power consumption through processors with ASICs and GPUs that process complex AI functions.

Power architectures used within AI servers

Rack power is increasing with the deployment of AI applications. In most cases, power delivery is now a limiting factor in computing performance with new xPUs consuming ever increasing currents.

Power delivery impacts not only the distribution of power but also the efficiency, size, cost and thermal performance.

There is an increasing demand for power density – rack power levels previously needing less than 10kW now require more than 30kW to power intensive AI applications. There is also an increase in preferred rack voltage from 12V to 48V for improved DC distribution.

Additionally, an emerging trend is to reduce power system loss through eliminating isolation at the board level, which opens the market for nonisolated topologies.

Our innovative board mounted DC/DC products are designed to match all these criteria, and include both front-end Intermediate Bus Converters (IBCs) to convert the more and more widely used 48/54V to a suitable mid-bus voltage, and Point of Load converters (PoLs) and Integrated Power Stages or Voltage Regulator Modules (VRMs) to take care of the low voltage, high current requirements of the xPU core and auxilliary voltages, which often run into the hundreds of Amps.
