India, Oct. 28 -- Renesas Electronics Corp. is supporting efficient power conversion and distribution for the 800V direct current power architecture announced by NVIDIA, helping fuel the next wave of smarter, faster AI infrastructure.

As GPU-driven AI workloads intensify and data center power consumption scales into multi-hundred megawatt territory, modern data centers must adopt power architectures that are both energy optimized and scalable. Wide bandgap semiconductors, such as GaN FET switches, are quickly emerging as a key solution, thanks to their faster switching, lower energy losses, and superior thermal management.

Moreover, GaN power devices will enable the development of 800V direct current buses within racks to significantly ...
