AI data centers require substantial power and the global demand for power for AI data centers will only increase in the coming years. In this Chalk Talk, Donald Harper and Mark Farrelly from Amphenol and Amelia Dalton discuss the biggest design trends in data servers and storage applications and why your choice of connector can make all the difference when it comes to power and performance for your next design.

In this episode of Chalk Talk, Joseph Yang from Advantech and Amelia Dalton examine the benefits of Advantech’s preconfigured edge solutions. They also investigate the key features of Advantech’s EI-53 Compact Edge System, ARK-1125 palm-sized intelligent edge computer and UNO 2271G V2 pocket-size industrial computing edge solution.

In this episode of Chalk Talk, Ritesh Ritesh from Infineon and Amelia Dalton explore the what, where and how of Infineon’s 2EP1xxR EiceDRIVER™ Power family. They investigate the working principles of these drivers, the topologies supported by these solutions and how these drivers can enable simple, space efficient, and highly configurable isolated gate driver supply for a variety of switches.

In this episode of Chalk Talk, Mariyah Sachak from Vishay and Amelia Dalton explore how various inductor solutions can supply near-instant power to demanding loads at low, core-level voltages for high power computing applications. They also investigate the benefits of Trans-Inductor voltage regulators and what you will need to consider when choosing the right inductor solution for your next design.

In this episode of Chalk Talk, Jiri Keprda from STMicroelectronics and Amelia Dalton explore the benefits of the powerSTEP01 is a system-in-package from STMicroelectronics. They also examine how this solution can streamline overall position control architecture, the high level commands included in this solution and the variety of advanced diagnostics included in the powerSTEP01 system-in-package.

All major truck and bus OEMs will be launching electric vehicle platforms within the next few years and in order to keep pace with on-highway and off-highway EV innovation, our charging inlets must also provide the voltage, current and charging requirements needed for these vehicles. In this episode of Chalk Talk, Amelia Dalton and Drew Reetz from TE Connectivity investigate charging inlet design considerations for the next generation of industrial and commercial transportation, the differences between AC only charging and fast charge and high power charging inlets, and the benefits that TE Connectivity’s ICT high power charging inlets bring to these kinds of designs.
