Power Integrations and Ideal Power Collaborate on Efficient, Always-On Solid State Circuit Breakers for 800 VDC AI Data Centers

Chris Jacobs, Senior vice president of marketing and product strategy at Power Integrations

“As AI data centers move toward 800 VDC power architectures, the industry must address new challenges in power conversion, control, and protection at the system level”

Chris Jacobs, Senior vice president of marketing and product strategy at Power Integrations

“By combining Power Integrations' 1700 V InnoMux-2 IC with Ideal Power's innovative bidirectional solid-state circuit protection, we are helping enable intelligent 800 VDC power architectures that improve efficiency, resiliency, and scalability in next-generation AI data centers.”

David Somo, CEO of Ideal Power

“High efficiency, ultra-fast fault interruption is essential for enabling the migration to 800 VDC AI data centers and energy infrastructure. Traditional protection methods are proving to be inadequate. Mechanical breakers are too slow, while previous semiconductor-based breakers have historically been disqualified by high power loss”

David Somo, CEO of Ideal Power

“Power Integrations offers a unique combination of 1700 V GaN capability, multiple independently regulated outputs, high integration, and a compact solution footprint that is well suited to our 800 VDC solid-state circuit breaker architecture, which must meet demanding power efficiency requirements and strict mechanical constraints.”
