Rethinking Data Center Power: Yageo on the Shift to 800V Architectures
Rethinking Data Center Power: Yageo on the Shift to 800V Architectures 
At the show floor, Bryan DeLuca from eeVids sat down with Simon Reuning at the Yageo booth to explore one of the biggest challenges in modern electronics: power.
As AI workloads and cloud infrastructure continue to scale, data centers are consuming more power than ever before. This shift is driving a major transition in power architecture—from traditional 48V systems to emerging 800V (±400V bipolar) designs.
With this move comes a new set of engineering challenges.
Higher voltages demand a stronger focus on protection, insulation, and component reliability. Components that once worked in lower-voltage environments no longer provide the necessary margin, forcing engineers to rethink how they design systems from the ground up.
Yageo is addressing these challenges with a broad portfolio of passive components designed specifically for high-voltage applications. This includes:
- Film capacitors with high voltage ratings
- MLCCs (ceramic capacitors) built for increased voltage tolerance
- Magnetic components designed to handle isolation requirements at elevated voltages
- Aluminum electrolytic capacitors for power stability across demanding systems
Together, these technologies enable engineers to build more efficient, reliable power systems capable of supporting next-generation data centers.
As power demands continue to rise, innovations in passive components will play a critical role in enabling the infrastructure behind AI, cloud computing, and beyond.
