Power Integrations and Ideal Power partner on AI data center circuit breaker
What happened
Power Integrations and Ideal Power announced a collaboration to create a solid-state circuit breaker (SSCB) solution for AI data centers. The new architecture combines Power Integrations’ 1700 V InnoMux-2 power conversion ICs with Ideal Power’s B-TRAN® switches. This solution provides fast, efficient protection suitable for the 800 VDC transition in AI data centers.

Why it matters
The collaboration addresses the need for innovative circuit protection in AI data centers, where mechanical breakers are too slow and existing electronic breakers cause efficiency losses. The new design allows the InnoMux-2 IC to convert 800 V into isolated power for control electronics, which then protects the 800 V power path.
