Rack power & thermal management
Address the power density and efficiency needs of the future with products and system-level products for rack and server applications
Why choose TI for rack power & thermal management?
Thermal management
Leverage our C2000™ microcontrollers, motor controllers and sensing products to design next-generation cooling distribution units and in-rack leak detection for reliable air and liquid cooled systems.
Increase power density
Our novel approach to integration enables faster switching speeds to help reduce solution size, while our thermally enhanced packages facilitate greater power dissipation in a smaller area.
Create secure systems
Our C2000™ microcontrollers enable advanced security features to protect your systems, while including features like live firmware update to enable seamless in-field firmware updates.
Engineering efficiency for rack power and thermal management
High-performance integrated GaN power stages
Our gallium nitride (GaN) power stages can help you achieve high efficiency and high density in your server power designs, and when leveraged to scale support high-voltage DC architectures. An integrated driver reduces circuit parasitics, which can help shrink design footprints.
With integrated overcurrent and overtemperature protection features, our power stages enable power-supply units, battery backup units and intermediate bus converter subsystems to achieve Modular Hardware System-Common Redundant Power Supply and Open Compute Project Open Rack v3 specifications.

Accurate and low-cost sensing
Current sensing plays a critical role in server and telecommunication power-supply units (PSUs). The control, protection and monitoring of various PSU subsystems requires accurate current measurements.
Our products for isolated current sensing include low-cost Hall-effect sensors and highly accurate shunt-based approaches for isolated sensing. For nonisolated sensing, our devices offer a wide range of supported voltages to help make current sensing easier.
