EPC develops innovative power converter to accelerate the adoption of 800 VDC distribution systems for the next generation of AI data centers.
Future AI factory data centers will require megawatt-scale rack power delivery systems. To address this challenge, EPC has developed a low-cost, low-profile GaN-based, 6 kW 800 V-to-12.5 V converter based on an Input Series Output Parallel (ISOP) topology.
Benefits of a GaN-based Solution:
- Higher Power Density – Occupies under 5,000 mm2 and only 8 mm in height, making it ideal for space-constrained AI boards.
- High Efficiency and Reduced Losses – Efficiently converts 800 VDC to 12.5 VDC close to the load, reducing bussing losses and improving system-level efficiency.
Future-Proofing AI Infrastructure with 800 VDC
By moving from AC directly to 800 VDC at the rack level, and then stepping down to 12.5 V at the board, EPC’s GaN-based solution eliminates unnecessary conversion stages and enables the scalability, simplicity, and energy optimization demanded by tomorrow’s AI data centers.
“GaN is an essential technology for the 800 VDC ecosystem,” said Alex Lidow, CEO of EPC. “Our collaboration with NVIDIA is to develop compact, efficient, cost-effective board-level conversion to power future AI factories at gigawatt scale.”
