雜談GaN技術

新興的計算應用需要更強大的功能和更小的外形尺寸。除了伺服器市場日益增長的需求外，一些最具挑戰性的應用是多用戶遊戲系統、自動駕駛汽車和人工智慧。這些應用正在產生對DC-DC轉換器的需求，這些轉換器可以在接近處理器的位置擠進主板。

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.
