PC Power Supply Solutions

High-efficiency, high-density AC/DC and multi-rail power conversion for desktops, workstations, gaming systems and compact industrial PCs.

PC power supply application

High-density power conversion for modern desktop and workstation platforms

PC power supplies convert a universal AC input into stable, low-noise rails for processors, graphics cards, storage, memory and peripheral loads. The architecture combines active PFC, an isolated high-voltage DC/DC primary stage, synchronous secondary rectification, point-of-load DC/DC buck conversion, protected auxiliary power and a main controller that coordinates startup, standby, regulation, protection and ATX system signaling.

About the solution

Efficient AC/DC and multi-rail conversion for demanding PC loads

The solution combines active PFC, an isolated LLC or phase-shifted primary converter, synchronous secondary rectification, dedicated buck conversion for 5 V and 3.3 V rails, a protected 5 V standby supply and coordinated main control. This staged architecture supports high efficiency, stable regulation, fast load response and predictable startup across wide AC input and output-power conditions.

Designed for desktops, gaming PCs, workstations and compact industrial computers

The architecture can be scaled for mainstream ATX supplies, high-power GPU systems, workstation platforms, small-form-factor PCs and embedded computing equipment. Rail sequencing, standby operation, fan management and comprehensive protection help support modern processors and graphics cards with rapid, repetitive load transients.

Power devices and control functions aligned with every major conversion stage

High-voltage PFC and primary-stage MOSFETs, gate drivers, resonant and PWM controllers, low-resistance synchronous-rectifier and buck MOSFETs, standby-power devices, supervisors, sensing amplifiers and fan-control components form a practical semiconductor platform for modern PC power-supply designs.
