Solving the Data Center Space Crunch: New 800 VDC Power Designs for AI Infrastructure
In the race to scale AI data centers, every millimeter of board space is critical. As power architectures shift to 800 VDC to support high-performance AI racks like the NVIDIA Kyber architecture, auxiliary power supply design has become a significant bottleneck.
Power Integrations has just announced a major step forward, unveiling two ultra-slim auxiliary PSU reference designs that address these high-voltage challenges head-on.
What makes these designs a game-changer? By leveraging their industry-unique 1700 V PowiGaN™ (Gallium Nitride) single-HEMT technology, they’ve managed to create incredibly dense power solutions that outperform traditional silicon carbide (SiC) approaches:
🔹 Space-Efficient: Freeing up ~30% of space on main power distribution boards (PDBs).
🔹 Simplified BOM: ~30% reduction in component count, boosting overall system reliability.
🔹 High Efficiency: Delivering at least 88% efficiency across line and load.
🔹 Low Profile: Ultra-slim form factors (down to 7mm height) ideal for tight blade-rack architectures.
These designs use InnoMux™-2 ICs to support a nominal 1000 VDC input, providing stable power for the "housekeeping" components—like MCUs, gate drivers, and op-amps—that keep AI systems safe and efficient.
For engineers working on the next generation of AI-ready data center infrastructure, this is a massive leap in simplifying high-voltage design.

The Flyback Revolution: 440 W is the New Frontier
For decades, power designers faced a "hard ceiling": once you crossed the ~150 W threshold, the simplicity of the Flyback topology had to be traded for the complexity of resonant LLC designs. That ceiling just shattered.
Power Integrations has officially extended the flyback range to a staggering 440 W with the launch of the new TOPSwitchGaN™ IC family. By marrying the iconic TOPSwitch™ architecture with 800 V PowiGaN™ technology, they’ve made high-power design simpler, smaller, and more efficient.
Why This Matters for Your Next Design:
* Simplicity over Complexity: Achieve high-power output without the component count and design time associated with LLC resonant topologies.
* 92% Efficiency: Maintains high efficiency across the entire load range (10% to 100%), easily beating European ErP regulations.
* Heat Sink Reduction: The low RDS(ON) of PowiGaN reduces conduction losses so dramatically that many applications (up to 135 W) can now run without a heat sink in a surface-mount eSOP™ package.
* High-Frequency Performance: Operates at up to 150 kHz, allowing for significantly smaller transformers and a reduced overall footprint.
One Methodology: 10 W to 440 W
Because TOPSwitchGaN is pin-to-pin compatible with TinySwitch™-5, engineering teams can now use a unified design methodology across their entire product portfolio—from small appliances to e-bikes and power tools.
"This is more than a product evolution—it’s a fundamental shift in how engineers can approach power supply design." — Silvestro Fimiani, Director of Product Marketing.
Target Applications:
✅ E-bikes & Scooters
✅ High-Power Tools
✅ Appliances & Industrial Housekeeping
✅ Ultra-slim Adapters
By removing the "bandwidth bottleneck" of traditional silicon, GaN is finally making the flyback a universal solution for mainstream power.
