Correction to Previous Release: Navitas Enables Data Center Power Supplies to Achieve Latest 80 PLUS® Ruby Certification
Rhea-AI Summary
Navitas Semiconductor (NVTS) has announced that its GaNSafe and Gen 3 'Fast' SiC MOSFETs enable their AI data center power supply unit (PSU) reference designs to achieve system efficiencies of 96.5% to 98%. The company's portfolio includes 3.2kW, 4.5kW, and 8.5kW PSU designs aimed at meeting the new 80 PLUS® Ruby certification, the most rigorous PSU efficiency standard in 14 years.
The Ruby certification requires an additional 1% system efficiency across most load conditions compared to the previous Titanium standard. Each Ruby-certified 3.2 kW CRPS185 PSU can save up to 420 kilowatt-hours over a 3-year lifetime, equivalent to over 400 kg of CO2 emissions reduction.
Navitas has demonstrated leadership in AI data center solutions with achievements including a 40% smaller 3.2 kW CRPS, a 4.5 kW CRPS with 137 W/in3 density and 97% efficiency, and the world's first 8.5 kW AI data center power supply reaching 98% efficiency. The company's IntelliWeave digital control technique, combined with their semiconductors, enables PFC peak efficiencies of 99.3%.

TORRANCE, Calif., April 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In a release issued on March 17, 2025 by Navitas Semiconductor (Nasdaq: NVTS), please note registered trademarks, CLEAResult certification information, and an updated image have been added and references to the APEC 2025 conference have been removed. 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
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
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
"Compared with Titanium, Ruby cuts the allowable PSU losses significantly and will be critical in enabling the data center industry to reduce its carbon footprint and cut operational costs,” said Gene Sheridan, CEO and co-founder of Navitas. “With the industry set to consume 1,000 TWh annually by next year1, every percentage point improvement in efficiency represents a reduction of 10 TWh, or approximately 3.5 million tons of CO22. Advances in our GaNSafe and GeneSiC products enable these targets to be met and significantly exceeded."
