The corrected release follows: 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 high-power GaNSafe and Gen 3 ‘Fast’ SiC MOSFETs enable their portfolio of 3.2kW, 4.5kW, and 8.5 kW AI data center power supply unit (PSU) reference designs to achieve system efficiencies from 96.5% to 98%, accelerating the adoption of cleaner energy server data center PSUs. These reference designs have not yet been granted 80 PLUS® Ruby certification by CLEAResult. 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 CLEAResult, the program’s administrating body, following an endorsement by the Green Grid consortium. Ruby certification can only be officially granted by CLEAResult through their own testing and validation process. 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 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, le...
