Texas Instruments Inc. (TI) has introduced a 3-gigasample-per-second (GSPS) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) for remote monitoring of power-rail transients in AI data centers. Announced at the Open Compute Project (OCP) Global Summit, the ADC34DSO75 supports event-based telemetry at nanosecond resolution, allowing operators to capture brief electrical disturbances that conventional monitoring systems may miss. The device combines high-speed sampling with on-chip digital signal processing to detect transient faults on low-voltage, high-current power rails. TI said continuous remote monitoring can help identify power-related problems without requiring on-site debugging with oscilloscopes. TI also demonstrated two other devices for AI data center infrastructure: the LMI800PS isolated hot-swap controller for high-voltage power distribution and the LMK6B bulk acoustic wave (BAW) oscillator for precision timing. The LMI800PS integrates an isolated bias supply and PMBus telemetry. According to TI, it replaces a discrete implementation requiring five integrated circuits and reduces board area by more than 60%. The controller provides 5-kVrms reinforced isolation and more than 8mm of creepage distance. It supports both ±400V and 800V power distribution architectures, with hot-swap protection and fault isolation intended to prevent individual load failures from affecting a shared power bus. For high-speed networking, the LMK6B provides 9.6fs jitter at 625MHz. TI is positioning the oscillator for systems with increasingly demanding timing requirements as data center network transmission rates scale.
