New Power Management Chips from TI Maximize Protection, Density and Efficiency for Modern Data Centers
March 24, 2025 | Texas InstrumentsEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Texas Instruments (TI) debuted new power-management chips to support the rapidly growing power needs of modern data centers. As the adoption of high-performance computing and artificial intelligence (AI) increases, data centers require more power-dense and efficient solutions. TI's new TPS1685 is the industry's first 48V integrated hot-swap eFuse with power-path protection to support data center hardware and processing needs. To simplify data center design, TI also introduced a new family of integrated GaN power stages, the LMG3650R035, LMG3650R025and LMG3650R070, in industry-standard TOLL packaging. TI is showcasing these devices at the 2025 Applied Power Electronics Conference (APEC), March 16-20, in Atlanta, Georgia.
"With data centers increasingly demanding more energy, powering the world's digital infrastructure begins with smarter, more efficient semiconductors," said Robert Taylor, general manager, Industrial Power Design Services. "While advanced chips drive AI's computational power, analog semiconductors are key to maximizing energy efficiency. Our latest power-management innovations are enabling data centers to reduce their environmental footprint while supporting the growing needs of our digital world."
Reach power levels beyond 6kW with intelligent system protection
As power demands surge, data center designers are shifting to 48V power architectures for enhanced efficiency and scalability to support components such as CPUs, graphics processing units and AI hardware accelerators. TI's 48V stackable integrated hot-swap eFuse with power-path protection empowers designers to tackle high-power (>6kW) processing needs with a scalable device that simplifies design and reduces solution size by half compared to existing hot-swap controllers in the market.
