In this second instalment on sustainable energy solutions from Texas Instruments, we look at the power management technologies driving efficiency, density, and reliability across automotive, renewable energy, and high-current computing applications.
Learn more about automotive-qualified isolated DC/DC power modules built for driving IGBT, SiC, and GaN gate drivers, along with GaN-based cycloconverter reference design suited for solar micro-inverters and battery energy storage systems. Look at compact pin-to-pin compatible buck converter evaluation module, plus how integrated GaN converters are reshaping high-current power-supply design for data centres and compute infrastructure.
There are also several on-demand webinars from TI’s ‘Power Design Seminar‘ library, covering adaptive on-time control, common flyback power supply pitfalls, and advanced techniques for linear regulator design.
UCC35131-Q1
The UCC35131-Q1 is an automotive qualified high isolation voltage DC/DC power module designed to provide power to IGBT, SiC, Si and GaN isolated gate drivers and UIR Sensors. Its proprietary integrated transformer, flip-chip package, and advanced control architectures achieve high power density, low noise, and lowest system BOM.
TIDA-010954
This reference design implements a 600W bidirectional single-stage DC-AC inverter based on cycloconverter (AC-DAB) topology and TI GaN power stages. The design supports up to 60V and ±16A on the DC side and on the single-phase, 230VAC and 2.6A. The inverter supports bidirectional power flow and can be used for various applications, such as a solar micro inverter or Battery Energy Storage System (BESS).

TPSM8F7620EVM
The TPSM8F7x20EVM (SR130) facilitates the evaluation of the TPSM8F7x20 4A and 6A pin-to-pin compatible buck converters in small 7mm by 12mm overmolded BGA package. The SR130-001 uses the 6A TPSM8F7620 to output four voltage rails: 1.2VOUT, 2.5VOUT, 3.3VOUT, and 5VOUT, for input voltage up to 17V. The SR130-005 uses the 4A TPSM8F7420 to output four voltage rails: 1.2VOUT, 2.5VOUT, 3.3VOUT, and 5VOUT, for input voltage up to 17V. The SR130 EVM can be modified to support various multiphase and multioutput configurations.
Four ways integrated GaN converters are redefining high-current power-supply design
The push for higher power density continues to shape every major design decision for high-current power supplies. Data centers and compute infrastructure are growing at a pace that is straining traditional power architectures. From robotics to test and measurement equipment, engineers are facing the same fundamental challenge: deliver more power, in less space, without sacrificing efficiency.

PSDS 2026 | Deep dive into adaptive on-time control mode
Designers looking to further reduce a DC/DC converter’s total solution size and cost will benefit from D-CAP4’s load transient improvements. This session will explore D-CAP4’s architectural improvements.
PSDS 2026 | Common mistakes in flyback power supplies and how to fix them
When you run into a problem in your power supply design, the odds are that someone else has already solved the same problem on another design. Wouldn’t it be great if you could learn from their mistakes?
PSDS 2026 | Tips, tricks and advanced applications of linear regulators
This topic explores some common tips and tricks to maximize the performance of low-dropout (LDO) regulators and covers how to improve noise, the power-supply rejection ratio, thermal dissipation and system efficiency.
