ITG Electronics is aiming at server motherboards and storage devices with a series of high-current surface-mount ferrite inductors. The SLA36385A series has a 5 x 9mm footprint and 9.5mm height, and yet the components can handle up to 230A. Inductances range across 35 to 470nH. “The 35nH component can handle more than 200A, with approximately 20% roll off”, said the ...
Siemens EDA has announced three products, for emulation, evaluation and software prototyping for data centres and servers. The Veloce CS consists of the Strato CS hardware, for emulation, the Primo CS hardware for enterprise prototyping and proFPGA CS hardware for software prototyping. According to the company, the hardware-assisted verification and validation system can accelerate verification and validation cycles by up ...
Google has announced a $1 billion investment in a new UK data centre, sited in Waltham Cross, Hertfordshire. The 33-acre site “will bring crucial compute capacity to businesses across the UK” says Google, “supporting AI innovation and helping to ensure reliable digital services to Google Cloud customers and Google users in the UK and abroad”. It will “create construction and ...
To meet Open Compute Project (OCP) requirements, Molex has created a connector system that combines low-speed signals, high-speed signals and power into a single cable assembly. The “data-center product development team collaborated with the power engineering group to optimise power-contact design, thermal simulation and power dissipation”, according to the company. Inside is up to 4A can be carried alongside 10 ...
At Semicon Taiwan, Navitas Semiconductor announced GaNSafe, its fourth generation GaN technology. It is designed in a TOLL package to be rugged and protected in demanding environments and suitable for commercial applications in data centres, inverters in solar panels and onboard chargers in electric vehicles. The choice of a TOLL reduces the size compared to a QFN, explained Stephen Oliver, ...
Navitas is claiming it can deliver 3,200W from a 40 x 73.5 x 185mm (544cm3) data centre power supply, which is 5.9W/cm3 and almost 100W/in3. Called CRPS185, it has a 1U CRPS (common redundant power supply) form-factor. Inside, the architecture starts with an interleaved CCM (continuous conduction mode) PFC (power factor corrector) and continues into a full-bridge LLC (inductor-inductor-capacitor) converter ...
2023 datacentre capex will fall 8% y-o-y with softness in the enterprise IT and hyperscaler markets, says Dell’Oro. “While data centre capex for the hyperscalers will decline significantly this year, we project some of the cloud service providers such as Microsoft and Google will continue to increase spending by double digits,” said Dell’Oro’scBaron Fung, “meanwhile, the beginning of the year ...
IBM has announced a European quantum computer data centre at its facility in Ehningen, for companies, research institutions and government agencies. This will be its second, after a quantum data centre in New York. Scheduled to operate in 2024, the German site will have “multiple IBM quantum computing systems, each with more than 100 qubits”, said IBM. “The data centre ...
For hyperscale data centres, preparing for ‘co-packaged optics’ (CPO) Molex has announced a pluggable module for external laser sources, with a cage and blind-mating hybrid optical-electrical connector. It is called Elsis. “Traditional pluggable modules have their optical connections at the user side of the module, creating concerns about eye safety when used with high-power laser sources, such as those planned ...
To accelerate the work rate of data centres, Xilinx has introduced a suite of products to address networking functions and AI analytics. The company announced a new family of Aleveo SmartNICs, AI video analytics applications and an accelerated algorithm trading reference design for fast (sub-microsecond) trading. The company also launched the Xilinx App store today. The Alveo SN1000 SmartNICs provide ...
