TI's GaN technology and real-time MCUs power LITEON Technology's new server power supply design

Adopting GaN and digital controllers in new designs helps engineers improve power density, conversion efficiency, dynamic response and reliability

Its latest high-performance server power supply unit (PSU) . Leveraging TI’s LMG3522R030 GaN FET and a TMS320F28003x C2000 real-time MCU, the newly commercialized PSU offers power density of over 95 W/in³ and meets 80 Plus Titanium standards.

By pairing the power of TI GaN products and C2000TM real-time MCUs, designers can better meet the demand for smaller, more reliable systems.

Enabling efficient power supply design

Data centers, telecom equipment and many industrial applications are increasingly requiring larger power supplies, while also requiring reduced system size, weight, environmental impact and cost. This has challenged engineers to find new ways to reach higher power levels, in the same or smaller form factors, while also enhancing thermal performance. To address these power density challenges and requirements for future power supplies, LITEON leveraged TI GaN and C2000 real-time MCUs to achieve a flexible daughter-card design. The design also helps engineers shorten project design cycles by allowing them to scale the design to different power supply requirements.
