Researchers at CPES-VT cooperated with Intel on future server power architecture. This project is to design an isolated 80 W single output DC-DC module that operates from a nominal 400 V source. The module is intended to provide isolation and step-down to generate a bus voltage for powering server motherboard loads. High power-density, high efficiency, particularly at light loads, are among the design challenges.
