Where onsemi sits in the stack
onsemi's placements in this catalog cover 4 parts, from layer 4 (servers, racks & integration) to layer 7 (electrical: power distribution (grid to rack)). None of them currently carries a sourced supply constraint tag. Across these parts it overlaps with other companies most often on the lines below.
What these parts are
- Board-level power: VRMs, power stages, PoL, power semis — The voltage regulator modules and point-of-load converters that step rack-level DC power down to the precise, high-current voltages each GPU and chip needs at the board.
- GaN and SiC inside — Wide-bandgap gallium-nitride and silicon-carbide power devices used inside the power shelf's AC-DC and DC-DC conversion stages for higher efficiency and power density than silicon.
- IGBT and SiC modules — Silicon and silicon-carbide power semiconductor modules that perform the AC-DC-AC conversion inside a UPS.
- 800 V DC architecture & solid-state transformers — An emerging DC power distribution architecture, using 800 V DC in place of the AC busbar and power-shelf approach current racks use, paired with solid-state transformers (SSTs) that could replace multiple stages of conventional AC transformation.
