ST Expands 800VDC Power Solutions for AI Data Centers with NVIDIA… Adds 12V and 6V Architectures
STMicroelectronics has expanded its 800VDC power conversion portfolio for AI data centers in collaboration with NVIDIA. The newly unveiled 800VDC-12V and 800VDC-6V architectures complement the existing 800VDC-50V solution. The company explained that in large-scale training clusters and inference infrastructure, 50V, 12V, and 6V intermediate buses can be used together depending on server height, GPU configuration, and cooling methods. The 12V path focuses on reducing losses by eliminating the existing 54V intermediate stage, while the 6V path is designed to improve resistive losses and transient response performance by placing the power stage closer to the GPU. ST introduced these solutions at NVIDIA GTC 2026.
