GaN in Data Center Technology

With drastically increasing demands for high-density computing applications for cloud computing, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and gaming, the electric energy consumption of data centers could soon consume 8% of the world’s power production. A large portion of this consumption is caused by losses from inefficient power delivery architectures. With their smaller footprint, higher switching frequency and improved efficiency, GaN FETs and ICs enable higher power density, and lower total cost of ownership (TCO) in the data center.
