Summit 2026 - From Grid to GPU: Validating Next-Gen AI Data Center Power Infrastructure

Register Here

AI workloads are pushing data centers beyond traditional AC rack distribution toward 800V HVDC architectures, reshaping how engineers design, validate, and debug rack-level power systems.

In this presentation from Tektronix, we’ll explore how next-generation power systems are tested, debugged, and simulated using oscilloscopes, regenerative power supplies, high-power electronic loads, and automated test systems. We’ll cover practical measurement challenges across power shelves, busbars, BBUs/CBUs, VRMs, and rack-level PDNs, including transient response, ripple and noise, dynamic loading, impedance, efficiency, and timing-correlated power integrity analysis.

You’ll also see real-world examples of using regenerative systems to simulate AI rack behavior and validate modern data center power infrastructure.

Whether you’re designing converters, validating AI power systems, or debugging high-current PDNs, this session focuses on the measurement techniques and automated test workflows engineers are using to develop the next generation of data center power.
