Redefining power density with TI's packaging technology

Historically, power designers have turned to power modules to conserve valuable board space and simplify the design process. As chip sizes reach their physical limits and miniaturization increases in importance, advancements in packaging technology are enabling further performance and efficiency gains.

TI's new IsoShield technology copackages a high-performance planar transformer and an isolated power stage, offering functional, basic and reinforced isolation capabilities. It enables a distributed power architecture, helping manufacturers meet functional safety requirements by avoiding single-point failures. The result is a packaging advancement that shrinks solution size by as much as 70% while delivering up to 2W of power, enabling compact, high-performance and reliable designs for automotive, industrial and data center applications that require reinforced isolation.

Advancing data center and EV performance through power innovations

Power density innovations are nowhere more critical than in today's evolving data center and automotive designs. Meeting design requirements in those applications starts with advanced analog semiconductors – the components that enable smarter, more efficient operations. As global data centers continue to scale to meet exponentially growing demand, high-performance power modules must pack more power in smaller spaces. With TI's IsoShield packaging technology, designers can achieve higher power density in compact form factors, ensuring reliable and safe operation of the world's digital infrastructure. Similarly, the increased power density enabled by IsoShield technology helps engineers design lighter and more efficient EVs that significantly extend range and enhance performance.
