India, Oct. 8 -- As AI data centers scale to support high-power GPU clusters, the industry is shifting toward 800V DC rack power architectures to improve distribution efficiency, increase power density and support next-generation server designs.

To help accelerate this transition, Microchip Technology and Navitas Semiconductor have collaborated on an 800V DC-to-6V DC reference design for AI data center rack power applications.

The platform combines Microchip's digital power control and security technologies with Navitas' GaNFast gallium nitride (GaN) power devices to give developers a practical path to implement high-efficiency power conversion aligned with the Open Compute Project (OCP) 800V DC standard.
