The rapid adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) and the transition to renewable energy are driving significant advancements in power electronics. This presentation will explore key developments in the data center powertrain, starting from the grid and ending at the Point-of-Load (POL) conversion.Yole will provide a global overview of the booming PSU market, which was considered niche several years ago, followed by two presentations by leading power companies dedicated to two major topics regarding AI developments:critical power stages for AI servers, including 48V-to-12V intermediate bus converters (IBC) and 12V-to-core voltage regulatorsthe latest innovations in next-generation power supplies, which deliver higher efficiency and improved power density to meet the demands of AI workloads.
