Avnet Debuts at ELEXCON 2025 and IOTE 2025, Empowering AI Computing and Edge Intelligence

Mr. Xiao Chengwei, Design Manager of Avnet

Furthermore, Avnet is highly focused on and proactively developing the 800 VDC architecture, a key technology direction, recognizing its critical value in building next-generation, high-performance data centers. Compared to current 54V systems, this architecture offers a 5% improvement in end-to-end efficiency, ensuring more efficient energy utilization. Furthermore, the 800 VDC architecture significantly reduces current, copper consumption, and heat loss, making it more suitable for future high-density, MW-scale cabinet deployments.

At the end of his speech, Xiao Chengwei said: "With its deep cooperative relationship with many leading international original equipment manufacturers, Avnet has integrated rich product resources. Combined with its core capabilities in thermal management, communication and fault protection, it can build cost-effective and highly reliable power supply solutions for customers, comprehensively assisting AI data centers to achieve energy conservation and carbon reduction goals while improving computing power."

• This reference design supports a global wide voltage range of 100-240V, an output voltage of 54V, and an output power of 3KW.

• It uses ON Semiconductor's CCM totem PFC controller NCP1681 and secondary-side synchronous rectification LLC controller NCP4390.

• The power device uses ON Semiconductor's silicon carbide power tube NTH4L032N065M3S.

• The maximum efficiency of the whole machine reaches 96.8%, with a small number of components and low BOM cost.

• The analog totem PFC solution meets high energy efficiency design while lowering the design threshold.

Mr. Hu Hao, Senior IoT Market Development Manager at Avnet

Hu Hao stated that the combination of edge computing and AI is ushering in a new era of intelligence. In particular, breakthroughs in technologies like machine vision are creating unprecedented opportunities in fields such as intelligent manufacturing, smart cities, and autonomous driving.
