The AI boom is accelerating upgrades in thermal management and power management, and it is also triggering a revolution in voltage regulator module (VRM) architecture, with workloads pushing the industry from doubler-based designs to direct native multi-phase control. Industry insiders say the growing shortage of power components has three main causes: inventory corrections over the past three yea

Power semiconductors are taking on a central role as AI data centers move from 800V high-voltage input down through multiple power-conversion stages to the ultra-low voltages used by chips. After the post-pandemic inventory correction, industry players say power semiconductors have shifted "from a supporting role to the lead" under the new AI high-voltage direct current (HVDC) power architecture.

Chang Wah Technology has declared that the global semiconductor inventory correction has ended, with demand recovering in industrial control, networking, and AI data center power management. The shift signals firmer supply-chain conditions, rising leadframe demand, and broader pressure on packaging capacity across Asia — factors with direct implications for global electronics buyers and investors.
