High-Performance 48V to 0.6V, 2,000A Power Conversion for AI Data Centers: Present Technologies and Future Research
The talk will start with a brief discussion on a core research methodology—
proposing New ideas to achieve Better results—to help graduate students
and junior faculty members accomplish more in their academic and
professional careers.
The primary focus of the presentation will be the challenges and technologies
involved in designing high efficiency, high power-density 48V to 0.6V, 2,000A
Voltage Regulator Modules (VRMs) for AI data center applications. It will
cover both two-stage and single-stage architectures for these high-current
VRMs. More specifically, the talk will evaluate and compare technologies for:
(1) 48V to 12V conversion; (2) 12V to 0.6V conversion utilizing Buck and
Trans-Inductor Voltage Regulators (TLVR); (3) switched-capacitor-based
single-stage 48V to 0.6V conversion; and (4) transformer-based non-isolated
single-stage 48V to 0.6V conversion. The presentation will conclude with
observations and suggested directions for future research topics in this field.
