Advanced Energy Industries, Inc. unveiled its new ADH series of DC-DC converters today. These specialized devices specifically support Next-Generation AI Data Centers using 800 V DC power architecture. The industry currently requires massive energy upgrades to support evolving infrastructure. This new product launch directly enables a critical transition to megawatt rack power.
The innovative converters change an 800 V DC input into a 50 V DC output. The hardware operates at a distinct multi-MHz switching frequency. Consequently, the system reaches a peak power efficiency of 98.2%. The units supply up to 8 kW peak power in a standard half-brick package. They also provide 6 kW full load power. Because of this design, the peak power density surpasses 2,700 W/In3. The full load power density also reaches over 2,000 W/In3.
“The data center industry’s shift to 800 V DC power architecture requires a new wave of innovation to deliver highly optimized power for next-generation AI servers. Working in close collaboration with several leading customers, we have developed and delivered samples of the ADH converters and plan to expand the portfolio with additional power levels and form factors. Advanced Energy is advancing a comprehensive portfolio of 800 V DC power conversion solutions designed to meet the critical demands of this emerging power paradigm,” said David Richmond, Advanced Energy’s senior vice president of high-volume products.
Technical Specifications and System Integration
David Richmond serves as the senior vice president of high-volume products at Advanced Energy. The company collaborated closely with several leading customers to create these devices. Engineers have already delivered early samples to these partners. Furthermore, the business plans to expand the portfolio with extra power levels and form factors.
The ADH series utilizes advanced liquid-cooled baseplates for optimized thermal management. Its standard form factor allows operators to connect modules in parallel. This specific capability enables significant power scaling across Next-Generation AI Data Centers. The safe design includes critical insulation required for systems operating at hazardous input voltage levels.
Operators can combine the ADH series with the NDQ series non-isolated bus converter. This setup uses a newly developed Hot Swap Control module. This special module manages harmful inrush current. It also provides vital additional protection functions. Together, these components form complete 800 V DC power solutions. The combined system enables the increased power density required for megawatt-capable AI server racks.
