Overview
- Navitas displayed its 800 V‑to‑6 V DC‑DC power delivery board at COMPUTEX in Taipei and issued a company press release Wednesday describing the demo and its role inside NVIDIA’s AI Factory MGX ecosystem.
- The company’s materials say the board uses 16 GaNFast FETs rated at 650 V in a DFN8×8 dual‑cooled package, targets 97.5% peak efficiency at 1 MHz switching, and reaches a quoted power density of 2100 W per cubic inch.
- Navitas says the board eliminates the traditional 48 V intermediate bus converter inside server trays by enabling MHz‑frequency DC‑DC conversion close to the GPU, which the company says should improve transient response, reduce board area, and simplify rack power chains.
- Market reaction followed the showcase with reports of a sharp pre‑market rise in NVTS shares and investor interest that builds on recent commercial moves such as a GaN licensing/second‑source agreement with Cyient and better‑than‑expected Q1 results.
- Industry context and caveats remain important because the technical figures are company claims and wider adoption will depend on customer validation, volume supply steps, independent testing, and integration into 800 VDC rack deployments.
