Wise Integration and Navitas Semiconductor partner on AI data center power conversion solutions.

Wise Integration and Navitas Semiconductor are teaming up to develop power-conversion technologies for AI PCs, high-end workstations, gaming desktops, and industrial systems. The collaboration will also extend into AI data center power supplies and infrastructure, combining digital control with gallium nitride (GaN) and silicon carbide (SiC) power technologies.

France-based Wise Integration specializes in digital control for wide-bandgap power converters, while Navitas develops GaN and SiC power semiconductors. The companies will focus initially on AI data center power supply units (PSUs), while also exploring additional power-conversion topologies for high-voltage, high-power, and high-efficiency applications. The work will combine Wise Integration's distributed digital-control technology, including its WiseWare platform, with Navitas' GaN and SiC devices.

AI data centers and high-performance computing systems are placing growing pressure on power architectures as designers seek higher efficiency and power density. This is driving interest in new converter topologies capable of handling increasing power levels while reducing losses and system size.

"Wide-bandgap technologies are unlocking new levels of power density and efficiency, but realizing their full potential requires advanced control," said Ghislain Kaiser, CEO of Wise Integration. "With WiseWare®, we bring the digital intelligence needed to optimize power conversion in real time. Combining this capability with Navitas' GaN and SiC technologies can enable more efficient, compact, and high-performance power-supply solutions for AI Data Centers and next-generation computing systems."

AI infrastructure represents one of the main growth areas for the collaboration, particularly as data center operators seek more efficient power delivery from the grid through to processors and accelerators. "AI Data Centers and performance computing applications are creating unprecedented need for solutions that deliver higher efficiency and better power density," said Vipin Bothra, vice president of global solution marketing at Navitas Semiconductor. "By combining Navitas' next-generation GaN and SiC power technologies with Wise Integration's digital-control expertise, we can deliver solutions that help customers address these rapidly evolving system requirements."

Wise Integration is headquartered in Hyères, France, with design and R&D operations in Ottawa and Grenoble, as well as operations in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and South Korea.
