48 V Power Conversion

Select devices for 48 V to 12 V / 6 V conversion in AI and general servers.

48 V remains the workhorse rack bus.

About 48 V Power Conversion

48 V remains the workhorse rack bus. Designers often choose 80 V or 100 V MOSFETs to keep avalanche and transient margin while chasing low RDS(on).

Use this page to connect 48 V conversion to IBC, MOSFET selection, and rack-level protection.

Supply Chain Considerations

!

Lifecycle and allocation

Long-life designs need current lifecycle status, last-time-buy windows, and a documented second source before a line goes NRND.

!

Lead time and date code

We check stock, factory lead time, date code, and packaging so buyers can accept or reject lots before they move.

!

Traceability

COC, photos, and manufacturer traceability are available on request for qualified and high-reliability programs.

Supply Chain Support

1

Stock and lead-time check

Submit an MPN or BOM for availability, factory lead time, and alternate-channel options.

2

Date-code verification

Confirm date code, packaging, and lot identity before shipment.

3

Obsolete and hard-to-find parts

Source NRND, EOL, and allocation-risk devices with documented alternatives.

4

BOM-level sourcing

Cross-reference, lifecycle screening, and multi-line quotes from one application context.
