Infineon and NVIDIA are advancing conversion for higher voltage racks. New GaN intermediate bus designs target 800 VDC distribution, with conversion to 50 V, 12 V, and 6 V ahead of processor power stages.
LG expands its R290 heat pump range with larger models. The new 12, 14 and 16 kW S variants join a standard Monobloc line incorporating indoor hydraulic equipment and cascade controls for up to eight units.
Vertiv combines virtual AI factory design with prefabricated infrastructure deployment. Its NVIDIA DSX-based approach models faster engineering and commissioning, while Polar Data Centers is applying factory-built power and cooling systems to a 41 MW development in Norway.
Navitas expands 2,300 V SiC modules with new connection options. The 21 October announcement adds higher-current press-fit variants and pre-applied thermal interface material to an 8 mΩ module already listed for sampling in April.
EPC has confirmed its GaN transistors power ADI’s reference converter. The dual-phase EVAL-LT7930-AZ regulates a 48V output from 36–65V input, with up to 4kW output power and manufacturer-reported typical efficiency reaching 98.8%.
IAAPS and GKN have described completed hydrogen-electric propulsion testing work. The collaboration involved energy storage and fuel-cell generation systems, supported by specialist hydrogen, electrical and cryogenic test infrastructure at the Bristol and Bath Science Park.
Portuguese researchers have experimentally compared three silicon-carbide power converter topologies. A University of Minho study reports differences in grid-current distortion and ripple, while simulations show how interleaving changes the relative performance of modular fast-charging architectures.
Endoks has begun manufacturing power converters at its Turkish facility. The Niğde operation started on 16 October, targeting battery storage and grid-connected systems; production capacity and initial output volumes remain undisclosed.
RECOM has added 37 reusable power designs to CELUS’s platform. The new resources combine manufacturer reference circuits with component specifications and application information, allowing power conversion requirements to be considered during system architecture development.
