Data Converter Market Dynamics:

Drivers:

• Rising AI Server Power Needs Drive Demand for High-Efficiency Data Converters

This high power consumption of AI server applications such as chatbots, generative AI and large-scale machine learning models is identified as one of the major drivers of the data converter market. High-performance components such as GPUs, TPUs, and FPGAs have greatly increased power requirements; for example, AI servers require 3–5 times more power than traditional hardware, according to Delta Electronics. To improve energy efficiency, these servers are shifting away from 12V to 48V inputs, although the internal components still require lower voltages. This increased the demand for advanced DC-DC converters.

For instance, Delta’s RBC Series delivers peak efficiencies of up to 97.5%, for dependable, efficient power conversion. For example, these converters have already been deployed in over 300 data centers, affirming their importance in next-gen infrastructure.

Restraints:

• The increasing complexity of signal processing in advanced applications is driving challenges in designing and optimizing data converters.

With the development of applications, data converters face more and more complex signal processing tasks, and their designs are becoming increasingly complex. This evolution has challenges on design and optimization in mind. This makes designing converters which suit a wide variety of environments increasingly complex and lengthy, adding costly time to production cycles. The pressure on engineers is further amplified by the increasing demand for high precision and performance in modern applications, which includes AI, 5G, and automotive systems. Achieving performance, power dissipation, size, and compatibility requirements across heterogeneous systems becomes increasingly difficult, and hinders the scalability of data converters in new-age applications.

Opportunities:

• High-Performance Data Converters in Medical Imaging Systems

Medical imaging is a segment where precision ADCs with very high speed are required for each machine, which is boosting the adoption of the high-performance data converters in this segment. In the case of digital radiography (DR), high-quality images require 14–18 bit ADCs with SNRs between 70 and 100 dB and 30 fps sampling to facilitate real-time processing.

Companies like Analog Devices and Texas Instruments provide these advanced ADCs, creating market growth opportunities. In computed tomography (CT), ADCs with at least 24-bit resolution and fast sampling rates (100 µs conversion time) enable high-resolution 3D images. Maxim Integrated and Linear Technology lead in supplying these solutions. For positron emission tomography (PET), ADCs with 10-12 bit resolution and fast sampling rates (up to 40 MSPS) ensure accurate photon detection for 3D imaging.

Challenges:

• Difficulties in Integrating Data Converters in Power-Limited System on Chip. Environments

Incorporating data converters into larger systems, such as System on Chips (SoCs), presents significant design challenges, especially in managing space and power constraints. As electronic devices become smaller and more compact, integrating high-performance data converters into these systems requires careful consideration of size limitations while maintaining optimal performance. Power consumption is another critical factor, as the need for low power usage becomes more pressing in mobile and battery-powered applications.
