EPC has developed a new converter designed for artificial intelligence-based "sidecar" servers, where the power supply is racked separately from the information technology equipment. This board is a fixed-ratio converter that steps 800 volts down to 12 volts. To achieve a total output of 6 kW, the design utilises 100-volt to 12-volt modules that are each rated at 750 W. The inputs of these individual modules are cascaded in series, while their outputs are connected in parallel.
The entire 6 kW module has a compact physical footprint, measuring 106 mm by 47 mm, and is only 8 mm thick. This high level of miniaturisation is enabled by GaN technology.
