From 800 V Bus to Low Voltages: High‑Efficiency Multi‑Kilowatt GaN Converters

From 800 V Bus to Low Voltages: High‑Efficiency Multi‑Kilowatt GaN Converters

Jun 23, 2026

This presentation explores how low-voltage GaN devices can outperform traditional high-voltage solutions in multi‑kilowatt DC‑DC converters for AI data centers and industrial automation. Using multi‑stage ISOP topologies, Michael de Rooij demonstrates benefits in heat distribution, interleaving for drastic current‑ripple reduction, simpler low-voltage magnetics, lower EMI, and improved conduction losses. Two high-power converter prototypes (800 V to 12 V and 800 V to 50 V) are detailed, along with practical regulation strategies that minimize penalties in efficiency and power density.
