Renesas has launched a power supply reference design for AI semiconductors for use in the space environment. In collaboration with AMD, we support smooth development, mainly for satellite manufacturers.
🟦 Renesas Announces Power Supply Reference Design for AI Semiconductors for Space
Renesas Electronics has announced a power supply reference design for AI semiconductors for space manufactured by US semiconductor giant AMD. The design will be provided to the satellite manufacturer to facilitate development. The newly announced reference design “ISLVERSALDEMO3Z” is fully compatible with the space environment and is specifically designed for next-generation systems that require tight voltage tolerances, high currents, and highly efficient power conversion.
🟦 Addressing the power consumption problem of AI semiconductors for space applications
The new AI semiconductor “XQRVE2302” for space developed by AMD is expected to be used for anomaly detection and image analysis. However, compared to conventional semiconductors, they consume more power and require a high level of know-how to ensure stable operation of power supplies. Renesas’ power reference design solves this problem and addresses the complex circuit structures associated with satellites.
🟦Summary
Renesas Electronics has launched a power supply reference design for the space environment, which, in combination with AMD’s AI semiconductors for space, will enable smooth development for satellite manufacturers. This will not only meet the needs of customers in the space field, but also contribute to the development of next-generation AI edge technologies.
Since the communication environment is extremely limited in space, the demand for edge AI may increase further.
