GaN技术杂谈

新兴计算应用需求更大的功率和更小的外形尺寸。除了不断扩展的服务器市场需求外，一些最具挑战性的应用包括多用户游戏系统、自动驾驶汽车和人工智能。这些应用正在产生对可在靠近处理器的主板上挤压的DC-DC转换器的需求。

During last week’s PCIM Europe event in Nuremberg, Germany, direct 48V-to-1V power conversion architectures were a significant topic, mostly outside of the exhibit floor. Vicor was quietly showing its latest generation of 48V direct-to-chip power components. Ericsson Power Modules and Efficient Power Conversion were holding invitation-only meetings where future designs of 48V direct to load power conversion architectures were the focus of the discussions. By the end of 2017, several vendors are expected to be offering dc-dc converters delivering 48V-to-1V direct conversion.
