Topic: Data center revenue breakdown (cooling vs. power) and server content per rack
Key points:
Data center was 7% of sales historically; Q2 set a record, slightly above 7%.
Majority of revenue still from cooling, but power supply side is ramping faster.
Conventional high-compute server: ~$150 content per server; Gen A type server: up to ~$425 content for Allegro.
Future growth driver: high-voltage gate drivers into power supplies, currently in customer discussions.
Mgmt stance: Bullish — sees positive trends in both cooling and power, with magnetic current sensor adoption and fan demand even in liquid-cooled architectures.
Q12 — Timothy Arcuri
Topic: Distribution sell-through vs. sell-in, data center TAM share potential, cycle signals, and rare earth metals exposure
Key points:
Distribution revenue up 22% (~$120M), with $5M of parts burned; direct sales down 10%.
Mgmt attributes disti growth to geography (China, Japan up) and industrial/data center fulfillment, not end-customer inventory build.
Data center TAM in deck is $900M; Allegro’s share is mid- to high-single-digit percent.
Book-to-bill above 1 throughout calendar 2025; backlog building; orders within lead time; some delinquency due to back-end factory constraints.
Rare earth metals: one vendor has multiple years of supply; customers have navigated tightness since spring; U.S.-China relations may ease restrictions.
Mgmt stance: Neutral-to-bullish — no concern on disti inventory; confident in data center share gains via current sensors and gate drivers; cycle signals typical of upcycle; rare earth supply risk managed.
