New 1500Vin@380Vout DC-DC Converter Challenges Traditional UPS for Powering Modern Data Centers

Related Products Recommended

As data centers evolve to support the massive computational demands of AI, high-performance computing, and cryptocurrency mining, the limitations of traditional UPS systems are becoming apparent. Are these conventional power solutions still capable of meeting the rapid scalability and efficiency requirements of today's digital infrastructure?

In response, a growing number of enterprises are turning to hybrid power systems integrating photovoltaic (PV) solar, wind energy, and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). These solutions provide superior power quality, scalable capacity, and the flexibility needed for next-generation applications.

To address this paradigm shift head-on, we are proud to announce the launch of the MXR150062B-DC2, a high-voltage DC-DC converter designed to make data centers more resilient, efficient, and future-proof.

Engineered for High-Density Power Challenges

The MXR150062B-DC2 is a robust converter with an 800-1500Vdc input and a regulated 300-380Vdc output. Its high input voltage range makes it ideally suited for direct integration with high-voltage battery strings and renewable energy sources, simplifying system architecture and reducing energy loss.

Key Product Specifications:

  • Model: MXR150062B-DC2
  • Input Voltage/Current: 800-1500Vdc / 0-64.5A
  • Output Voltage/Current: 300-380VDC / 0-164A
  • Output Power: 62.5KW

This parallel capability allows the system to scale seamlessly to multi-megawatt (MW) or multi-gigawatt (GW) power levels, fully satisfying the immense energy needs of large-scale data centers and AI training clusters.

Superior Advantages Over Traditional UPS Systems

When compared to a standard UPS, the 1500Vin/380Vout DC-DC Converter offers three decisive advantages:

  • Cost-Effectiveness: The solution offers a lower total cost of ownership, reducing both initial capital expenditure and long-term operational costs.
  • Space Efficiency: Its compact design requires significantly less physical space than a comparable UPS, freeing up valuable real estate within data halls.
  • Higher Efficiency: The converter operates with a peak efficiency of up to 98%, drastically reducing energy waste compared to the typical 90-95% efficiency of traditional UPS systems. This translates directly into lower electricity costs and a smaller carbon footprint.

A Future-Ready Power Solution

"The escalating power demands of AI are a defining challenge for our industry," said CTO Mr Fu. "The MXR150062B-DC2 is our direct response. By enabling a more efficient path from renewable sources and storage to the server rack, we are helping operators build a more sustainable and economically viable digital future."

This converter is a key enabler for modern power architectures, facilitating a direct DC approach that enhances stability and paves the way for wider adoption of clean energy.

If you believe that the 1500Vin@380Vout DC-DC converter holds more potential for your power supply solutions than a traditional UPS, we welcome the opportunity to discuss it with you.
