Microchip MCPF1525 Power Module Enhances AI Data Center Power Density and Efficiency
Designed to power latest-gen of PCIe switches and high-performance compute MPU applications needed for AI deployments
This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on February 10, 2026 at 2:01 pmMicrochip Technology, Inc. announces the launch of the MCPF1525 power module, a highly integrated device with a 16V Vin buck converter that can deliver 25A per module, stackable up to 200A.
The MCPF1525 enables higher power delivery within the same rack space and is combined with a programmable PMBus and I2C controls. This device is designed to power the latest-gen of PCIe switches and high-performance compute MPU applications needed for AI deployments.
The MCPF1525 is packaged in an innovative vertical construction that maximizes board space efficiency and can offer up to a 40% board area reduction when compared to other solutions. The compact power module is approximately 6.8×7.65×3.82 mm, making it an optimal solution for space-constrained AI servers.
For increased reliability, the MCPF1525 includes multiple diagnostic functions reported over PMBus, including over-temperature, over-current and over-voltage protection to minimize undetected faults. With a thermally enhanced package, the device is engineered to work within an operating junction temperature range of -40°C to +125°C. An on-board embedded EEPROM allows users to program the default power-up configuration.
“By leveraging Microchip’s comprehensive solutions including PCIe Switchtec technology, FPGAs, MPUs and Flashtec NVMe controllers, the MCPF1525 power module can help customers achieve the system efficiency, reliability and scalability required for high-performance data center and industrial computing applications,” said Rudy Jaramillo, VP, analog power and interface division, Microchip. “Seamless integration across Microchip’s portfolio simplifies development and lowers risk, helping designers accelerate time-to-market.”
The MCPF1525 features a customized integrated inductor for low conducted and radiated noise, enhancing signal integrity, data accuracy and reliability of high-speed computing, helping reduce repeated data transmissions that waste valuable system power and time
The company offers a wide range of DC-DC power modules with input voltages from 5.5-70V, available in ultra-compact, rugged and thermally enhanced packaging designed to improve high power density.
Availability and pricing
The MCPF1525 Power Module is available for $12.00 each in 1,000-unit quantities. Companies can purchase directly from Microchip or contact a sales representative or authorized worldwide distributor.
