Navitas Semiconductor announced the signing of a definitive agreement to acquire Claros, Inc. (Claros) a power management solutions company developing vertical power delivery (VPD) and integrated voltage regulator (IVR) technology for next-generation AI data centers, in a transaction valued at up to approximately $232.8 million, based on the per share closing price of Navitas’ stock on August 21, 2026.
Navitas’ potential acquisition of Claros would extend the Company’s AI infrastructure portfolio from the grid all the way to the xPU by bringing industry-leading VPD and IVR capabilities that can directly power the high-current, high-speed processors at the heart of modern AI systems.
Today’s most advanced AI xPUs, GPUs, CPUs, TPUs, NPUs, and other accelerators – are running into a fundamental limit. Compute itself is not the bottleneck; it is the power delivery.
The new 800V high-voltage direct current (HVDC) architecture, paving the way for accelerated replacement of silicon by GaN and SiC high-power technologies, the core focus of Navitas 2.0, has started to address this problem, enabling higher-density power architecture and racks.
However, on the last step, traditional voltage regulator modules (VRMs) push power sideways across the board, and as xPUs demand thousands of amps and near-instant response times, this lateral approach hits what Navitas refers to as a “power wall”. Bandwidth and compute performance are constrained by the limitations of existing power delivery systems.
Through the combination of Navitas and Claros, the Company expects to break through that wall all the way from grid-to-xPU. Claros’ VPD and IVR technologies stack power conversion, drive, control, and passives into a single, compact package. By placing this solution directly beneath or inside the chip package or printed circuit board, power travels only millimeters instead of inches. The result is ultra-fast transient response, dramatically lower impedance, higher efficiency at sub-volt levels, and the power density required for the next generation of AI compute.
This technology solution will be highly complementary to the GaN and high-voltage and ultra-high voltage SiC portfolio of Navitas, which enables the new 800V HVDC architecture, extending the high-density AI rack architecture in the first steps of the power conversion all the way to the core.
“The future of AI depends on delivering thousands of amps to increasingly power-hungry processors with unprecedented speed and precision,” said Chris Allexandre, President and CEO of Navitas. “The ‘power wall’ currently restricts next-gen xPUs in megawatt-scale server racks from achieving the next wave of AI performance. Combining Claros’ VPD and IVR technologies with Navitas’ GaN and high-voltage and ultra-high voltage SiC portfolio, we break the AI infrastructure power wall, advancing the entire power chain from grid-to-xPU. This acquisition follows our Navitas 2.0 transformation and significantly expands our addressable market, deepens our engagement with hyperscalers and AI power platform providers, as well as strengthens our leadership in AI infrastructure in terms of both capabilities and product solutions offering. As AI power demand accelerates, we are uniquely positioned to deliver greater value for our customers, while driving sustainable long-term growth.”
