Navitas’ 800 V-to-6 V DC-DC power delivery board (PDB) was shown at NVIDIA's AI Factory MGX Ecosystem Showcase at COMPUTEX 2026 in Taipei, June 2nd–June 5th. Powered by Navitas GaNFast technology, the PDB eliminates the need for a traditional 48 V intermediate bus converter (IBC) stage within the compute server trays, maximising system efficiency, reliability, and valuable real estate.
The PDB features 16 GaNFast FETs rated at 650 V, 11 mOhms, in the latest DFN8×8 dual-cooled package, aiming 97.5% peak efficiency, operating at 1 MHz switching frequency, and enabling a power density of 2100 W/in³. Approximately 20% thinner than a mobile phone, its ultra-low profile allows for extremely close integration with the GPU board, maximising transient performance and enhancing power distribution efficiency.
“As AI workloads continue to scale and drive unprecedented demand for compute, power delivery has become one of the most critical challenges in enabling next-generation gigawatt AI factories,” said Chris Allexandre, President and CEO of Navitas. “Through our collaboration with NVIDIA within the MGX ecosystem, Navitas is delivering GaN and SiC power technologies that enable megawatt-scale AI server racks with higher power density, a smaller system footprint, and improved thermal performance, helping accelerate the transition to more efficient and scalable AI infrastructure.”
Navitas says it provides a comprehensive portfolio of wide-bandgap (WBG) power technologies that form the foundation of next-generation AI factory infrastructure. Its GeneSiC silicon carbide (SiC) solutions can enable efficient power delivery from the grid to the AI compute rack, supporting critical applications such as solid-state transformers (SSTs) with ultra-high-voltage 2300 V and 3300 V SiC power modules, and high-power three-phase power supply units (PSUs), powered by the latest Generation 5 technology 1200 V SiC MOSFETs. Together, these technologies help AI data centres achieve higher efficiency, greater power density, and enhanced system reliability at scale.
Navitas' GaNFast technology delivers high-frequency, high-efficiency DC-DC power conversion required to support the rapidly growing power demands of AI GPUs. Leveraging the superior switching performance of GaN, Navitas solutions enable MHz-frequency operation, higher power density, and faster transient response, allowing power to be delivered more efficiently from the rack level directly to the GPU.
Through its comprehensive portfolio of GaN and SiC technologies, Navitas says it continues to collaborate closely with NVIDIA within the MGX ecosystem, helping enable open, modular AI infrastructure architectures and accelerating the industry's transition toward next-generation AI factories.
