800 VDC27 May 2026 05:31
As AI server racks scale from hundreds of kilowatts to over 1 MW, traditional facility power systems become insufficient. To solve this, the industry is transitioning to 800 VDC distribution, which minimizes copper losses and heat generation.IQE is directly involved in this ecosystem through the following initiatives:GaN Power Platforms: IQE partnered with X-FAB to launch and mass-produce European GaN power technologies designed specifically for data center and automotive markets that demand 800 VDC systems.Ultra-High Efficiency: These specialized semiconductor wafers allow data centers to bypass inefficient, repetitive voltage conversions, drastically reducing overall energy footprints.For more details on IQE's role in supplying semiconductor substrates for the 800-volt market, visit the IQE website
