As the cornerstone of modern information technology, the energy efficiency of data centers has attracted increasing attention. Semiconductor manufacturer onsemi recently announced a series of innovative power solutions designed to dramatically improve the energy efficiency of data centers in response to the demands of this era.
Onsemi reportedly says its latest-generation T10 PowerTrench family and EliteSic 650V MOSFETs have created a solution for AI data centers that can deliver unmatched efficiency and high thermal performance in a smaller footprint.
onsemi's power solutions have a number of notable highlights. First, the combination of the T10 PowerTrench family and EliteSiC 650V MOSFET technology can significantly reduce power loss in the data center. It is estimated that the implementation of this solution in data centers around the world could reduce energy consumption by about 10 terawatt hours per year, equivalent to the annual electricity consumption of millions of homes.
EliteSiC 650V MOSFETs offer superior switching performance and lower device capacitance, which enables data centers and energy storage systems to achieve higher efficiency. The next-generation silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFETs halve the gate charge while reducing the energy stored in both the output capacitance (Eoss) and output charge (Qoss) by 44% compared to the previous generation.

The T10 PowerTrench series is designed to handle high currents and achieves ultra-low gate charge and RDS(on) of less than 1 mOhm through its shielded gate trench design. These features not only increase power density, but also improve thermal performance and reduce the overall energy consumption of the system.
Second, the scheme achieves higher power density and lower heat loss by optimizing the circuit design and employing high-performance components. This not only improves the operational efficiency of the data center, but also reduces the investment in cooling equipment, further reducing operating costs. An efficient data center can also provide users with more stable and reliable services. In the digital age, the stable operation of data centers is crucial for both enterprises and individuals. onsemi's power solutions ensure the stable operation of data centers and increase user satisfaction and trust.
In addition, onsemi's power solutions are highly reliable and scalable. It has a modular design that can be flexibly configured and expanded according to the actual needs of the data center. At the same time, the solution also has a strong fault protection mechanism, which can ensure the stable operation of the data center in the event of an emergency.
This innovative solution from onsemi not only helps improve the energy efficiency of individual data centers, but also has a profound impact on the entire industry. As the technology continues to mature and applied, it is expected that more data centers will adopt similar high-efficiency power solutions to jointly promote the green development of the entire industry.
