Core EV Technology Depends on 'Semiconductors' for Battery, Charging, and Range Management
Published2026.06.18 10:15Electric vehicles (EVs) are no longer a "future means of transportation." They have already deeply integrated into our daily lives, and this pace is expected to accelerate further. A single charge now allows vehicles to travel hundreds of kilometers, and charging time has been reduced from "several hours" in the past to "several minutes." At the center of these changes lies the remarkable advancement of semiconductor technology that intelligently controls the core systems of electric vehicles—batteries, charging, and powertrains.

TI and Nvidia Unveil 800VDC Power Architecture… AI Data Center Power Transition Begins in Earnest
Texas Instruments (TI) has unveiled a next-generation 800VDC power architecture for AI data centers in collaboration with Nvidia. This architecture is designed with a two-stage conversion approach that steps down 800V direct current power to 6V and then below 1V, focusing on reducing power loss and distribution complexity. TI also presented related designs including a hot-swap controller, 800V-6V isolated bus converter, multiphase buck converter for GPUs, and a 30kW-class power supply. As power demand in AI servers continues to surge, this announcement is interpreted as an example demonstrating that data center power architecture is transitioning from conventional low-voltage-centric designs to high-voltage DC-based systems.
