Navitas Semiconductor announced the industry’s first GaNSense half-bridge power ICs. These half-bridge ICs enable a new level of MHz switching frequencies while dramatically reducing the system cost and complexity compared to existing discrete solutions. GaNSense half-bridge power ICs integrate two GaN FETs with drive, control, sensing, autonomous protection, and level-shift isolation, to create a fundamental […]
Data centers
Data centers get a boost from connectors and cables
Demands for bandwidth-intensive, data-driven services are fueling a rise in compute, data storage, and networking capabilities. These rises put pressure on connectors and cable to deliver data at higher speeds with better signals and less heat.
Supplies deliver 2.5 kW at 12 V with 96% efficiency
Murata announced it had set a new performance benchmark with the extension of its D1U54 series. The D1U54T-M-2500-12-HxxC and D1U54-D-2500-12-HxxC rack mountable front-end converters are designed specifically for high-performance, high-power applications requiring high power density and efficiency standards. Target markets include Artificial Intelligence, Edge Computing, Networking Equipment, Storage, and Server applications. These power supply converters […]
Will internal IO copper cables for data centers become standardized?
Data-center passive DAC external cables have been standardized and interoperable for decades. However, the mating, inside-the-box cables have yet to be fully standardized. In general, inside-the-box IO interface interconnections have been a competitive value point for those OEMs and suppliers that offer quality options. Providing reliable connectors and twin-axial cables configured in an ideal layout […]
Quad linear equalizer extends copper cable reach up to 5m at 112Gpbs PAM4 data rates
Semtech Corporation announced the launch of the new CopperEdge product portfolio for use in next-generation 400G (4x100G) and 800G (8x100G) data center interconnects using copper cable and backplane interconnects. The CopperEdge GN8112 is a quad channel 112Gbps PAM4 linear equalizer and is the first product sampling in the portfolio. As next-generation data center interconnects […]
PCIe repeater IC works from 1.8 V
Diodes Incorporated has further strengthened its range of PCIe solutions with the addition of a new high-speed data rate ReDriver device. The DIODES PI2EQX16924 is the industry’s first available PCIe 4.0 ReDriver that operates from a 1.8V voltage rail, where competing solutions have to use a 3.3V rail. It addresses a broad variety of computing and […]
Cable equalizers target 112G PAM4 400G and 800G data center applications
The new CopperEdge product portfolio is for use in next generation 400G (4x100G) and 800G (8x100G) data center interconnects using copper cable and backplane interconnects. The CopperEdge GN8112 is a quad channel 112 Gbps PAM4 linear equalizer and is the first product sampling in the portfolio. As next generation data center interconnects transition to 112 […]
PoL buck-regulator modules with integrated inductor enable space-efficient designs
Contemporary server, communication, and network storage applications struggle to minimize power losses and solution size. Meanwhile, the rapidly changing market also requires system solution providers to address market needs faster than usual. Therefore, Infineon Technologies AG now introduces highly efficient and reliable step-down DC-DC converter modules. Adding to its point of load (POL) family, these […]
