Empower brings vertical power product to electronica
Empower Semiconductor, a maker of integrated voltage regulators (IVRs), will demonstrate its new Crescendo platform with FinFast technology at electronica 2024.
This is the first demonstration in Europe of the company's solution for artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing (HPC).
The Crescendo platform – a scalable on-demand vertical power architecture for upwards of 3,000A power domains – integrates all power components in a single device thin enough to relocate underneath the processor and supply on-demand kilowatt power with high speed and accuracy.
According to the company, it eliminates virtually all capacitor banks, shrinking board space by 5x and reducing system power losses by up to 20 percent.
Designed to address the pressing power delivery challenges of AI processors, Crescendo harnesses Empower’s FinFast technology to integrate silicon, magnetics and silicon capacitors along control architectures in a thermally-efficient power package.
“Bringing Crescendo to electronica is an important and proud milestone for Empower,” stated Eric Pittana, senior director of global marketing and EMEA sales for Empower Semiconductor. “Following the strong reception we received during the unveil in the US market in October, we’re eager to demonstrate to our European customers how Crescendo is the answer to their kilowatt-range power delivery problem.”
