Server Motherboard for AI
As a result of the popularization of generative AI and the acceleration of DX, modern servers are required to have unprecedented computing power, and corresponding increases in the power consumption must be addressed. To improve the power usage effectiveness (PUE) of data centers, there is an urgent need to shift from the traditional 12 V distributed power distribution architectures to 48 V centralized architectures, while also downsizing power supply units and improving their efficiency.
ROHM provides total solutions combining our long-held high-efficiency power supply IC technologies with high-performance MOSFETs, including GaN (gallium nitride) devices. Driving technologies that bring out the device characteristics to the maximum extent possible can dramatically reduce power conversion losses. By simultaneously suppressing heat generation and increasing power density, this contributes to both improved processing performance and energy savings of server boards.
Technical information
Topology Selection
When designing circuits, especially power circuits, it's essential to choose a circuit configuration that aligns with the required specifications, as the input/output voltages, power levels, and isolation needs will vary by application. Optimal component selection also depends on the topology. Using inappropriate components can lead to performance shortfalls, potentially requiring a complete redesign of the circuit. ROHM’s topology selection page helps users identify the most suitable devices for various circuit designs.
Reference Design
ROHM provides a system-level evaluation board (solution board) that combines ROHM's IC and discrete products. We have already solved not only the characteristics of individual products but also the problems that may occur when combining them to build a system, thus contributing significantly to the reduction of development time for our customers.
Design Model
ROHM offers simulation models, including thermal models, PLECS models, and Ray files, for circuit and thermal simulations of discretes and ICs, including power devices.
ROHM Solution Simulator
ROHM Solution Simulator is a new web-based electronic circuit simulation tool that can carry out a variety of simulations, from initial development that involves component selection and individual device verification to the system-level verification stage.
