PITTSBURGH, PA | January 14, 2026
CorePower Magnetics™, a leader in high-efficiency magnetic components for medium-frequency and DC power conversion, today announced its alignment with the 800-volt direct-current (800 VDC) data center power architecture outlined in NVIDIA’s recent white paper. The move toward 800 VDC distribution marks a pivotal shift in Artificial Intelligence Data Center (AIDC) infrastructure, where efficiency, thermal performance, and power density are increasingly determined by magnetic components.
As modern power systems transition from multi-stage AC conversion to streamlined DC architectures, magnetics play a central role in enabling reliable rectification, DC-DC conversion, and voltage step-down pathways.
This architectural shift is being advanced through industry-wide efforts to define open, interoperable power infrastructure, including work within the Open Compute Project ecosystem, where hyperscalers, power equipment providers, and component suppliers are aligning around next-generation DC data center standards.
Magnetics Built for the 800 VDC Power Architectures
CorePower’s portfolio spans standardized, production-ready products; engineered-to-order solutions; and emerging medium-voltage magnetics designed to support every stage of NVIDIA’s 800 VDC roadmap — from retrofit architectures to SST-aligned systems.
These architectures require compact, thermally stable, high-efficiency magnetics capable of medium-frequency operation across rectification, DC-DC conversion, and energy storage interfaces.
Standardized, Production-Ready Products
CorePower’s production-ready, standardized magnetics are designed to accelerate design cycles and scale production for 800 VDC deployments.
CPMLMAX™ 1000-V Class Inductors: LV rectification, high-density DC-DC conversion, and 800 VDC-connected BESS smoothing
CPMTMAX™ Transformers (Coming Soon): isolated DC-DC step-down across hybrid and full-DC 800 VDC architectures
Emerging MV Standardized Magnetics (In Development): MVDC/MVAC ↔ 800 VDC interfaces for SST-aligned and MVDC architectures
Engineered-to-Order Magnetics
For teams designing 800 VDC systems now—including MVDC and SST-aligned architectures—CorePower delivers engineered-to-order inductors and transformers tailored to your voltage class, power density, and integration requirements. This enables near-term programs to move forward while standardized MV offerings and CPMTMAX™ progress toward release.
AC-DC rectification: 480 VAC → 800 VDC medium-frequency stages
DC-DC conversion: high-density step-down and regulation
Energy storage (BESS): 800 VDC and direct MVAC grid-connected interfaces
Direct MVAC conversion: SST applications
A detailed view of our product alignment across retrofit, hybrid, and full-DC architectures is available in CorePower’s 800 VDC Magnetics Roadmap.
Designing With Magnetics Early
“Magnetics define the boundaries of what’s achievable in medium-frequency conversion,” said Dr. Paul Ohodnicki, CTO of CorePower Magnetics. “Bringing inductors and transformers into the design process early helps power-stage engineers meet efficiency, thermal, and layout requirements for 800 VDC architectures.”
