Navitas Exceeds New 80 PLUS ‘Ruby’ Certification for Highest Level of Efficiency in AI Data Center Power Supplies
17 Marzo 2025 - 1:30PM
Navitas Semiconductor (Nasdaq: NVTS), the only pure-play,
next-generation power semiconductor company and industry leader in
gallium nitride (GaN) power ICs and silicon carbide (SiC)
technology, has announced that its portfolio of 3.2kW, 4.5kW, and
8.5 kW AI data center power supply unit (PSU) designs exceed the
new 80 PLUS ‘Ruby’ certification, focused on the highest level of
efficiency for redundant server data center PSUs.
The 80 PLUS certification program assesses and certifies the
energy efficiency of internal PSUs in computers and
servers. The ‘Ruby’ certification was announced in January
2025 by 80 PLUS's administrating body, CLEAResult, following its
endorsement by the Green Grid consortium.
‘Ruby’ is the most rigorous PSU efficiency standard since the
‘Titanium’ certification was released 14 years ago. In comparison,
Ruby sets an additional 1% system efficiency across all load
conditions, except at 50% load (which requires a 0.5% increase), to
achieve a new benchmark of 96.5% efficiency.
This new standard offers the industry a clear path to enhanced
energy efficiency, helping data centers address the evolving needs
of cloud storage, commercial sectors, and the increasing pressure
on the grid from AI computing. For example, every Ruby-certified
3.2 kW CRPS185 PSU can save up to 420 kilowatt-hours during a
3-year lifetime. That is the equivalent of over 400 kg of CO2
emissions.
Navitas exceeds both Ruby and Titanium certifications on their
portfolio of AI data center PSU reference designs, ranging from 3.2
kW to 8.5 kW, and are powered by high-power GaNSafe™ ICs and
GeneSiC™ Gen 3 ‘Fast’ SiC MOSFETs.
Navitas is the established leader in AI data center solutions
enabled by GaN and SiC technology. In August 2023, they introduced
a high-speed, high-efficiency 3.2 kW CRPS, achieving a 40% smaller
size than best-in-class, legacy silicon solutions for power-hungry
AI and Edge computing. This was followed by the world’s highest
power density 4.5 kW CRPS, achieving a ground-breaking 137 W/in3,
and efficiency of over 97%. In November 2024, Navitas released the
world’s first 8.5 kW AI data center power supply powered by GaN and
SiC that could meet 98% efficiency, complying with the Open Compute
Project (OCP) and Open Rack v3 (ORv3) specifications. Additionally,
Navitas created IntelliWeave, an innovative patented new digital
control technique, that when combined with high-power GaNSafe and
Gen 3-Fast SiC MOSFETs, enables PFC peak efficiencies to 99.3% and
reduces power losses by 30% reduction compared to existing
solutions.
“Compared with Titanium, Ruby cuts the allowable PSU losses
significantly and will be critical in enabling the data center
industry to reduce its carbon footprint and cut operational costs,”
said Gene Sheridan, CEO and co-founder of Navitas. “With the
industry set to consume 1,000 TWh annually by next year, every
percentage point improvement in efficiency represents a reduction
of 10 TWh, or approximately 3.5 million tons of CO2. Advances in
our GaNFast and GeneSiC products enable these targets to be met and
significantly exceeded.”
Navitas’ AI Power Roadmap and 80 PLUS Ruby-compliant demos can
be viewed at the ‘Planet Navitas’ booth #1107 during the APEC 2025
conference, which takes place at Atlanta's Georgia World Congress
Center from March 16 to 20. For more information, please contact
