Empower Semiconductor Powers up Integrated Voltage Regulator Sales

Aug 20, 2020 | Press Release

DMR Technical Sales Appointed as Sales Representatives

Milpitas, Calif., August 20th, 2020 Empower Semiconductor, the Integrated Voltage Regulator (IVR) world leader, today announced the appointment of DMR Technical Sales as technical sales representatives supporting partners in Northern California and Nevada.

Empower Semiconductor recently announced its revolutionary Empower IVR™ product platform, the EP70xx family. Empower achieved the complete integration of a triple output DC/DC power supply into a single tiny 5mm x 5mm package, with no external components! Up to 10x higher current density, 3x tighter accuracy during transients, and 1000x faster dynamic voltage scaling than leading competitors.

“The customer demand and interest in our game-changing technology have been tremendous. The impact it has had on their systems and digital IC’s are outstanding,” said Steve Shultis, Senior Vice President WW Sales, and Marketing at Empower Semiconductor. “The addition of the technical sales team from DMR further strengthens our customer application support. DMR has an impressive track record of technical design support enabling an extensive range of innovative design and manufacturing within Silicon Valley”.

Empower’s patented digitally configurable hardware platform has simplified the adoption of DC/DC converters for design engineers. With a single footprint, no external components, extensive programmability, and a wide range of output configurations, power designers can quickly utilize the EP70xx across nearly all designs and platforms. By having multiple entire power supplies in a single IC package, the usual concerns of component variation and sourcing, synchronization, and stability are all either eliminated or reduced significantly. 

 “We are delighted to represent Empower Semiconductor for our customers. Their innovation in power management not only achieved industry-leading performance and density but what excites us is they offer a mix of customer applications with a simplified design process”, said Michael McGuirk, Partner at DMR Technical Sales. “General power design is the last action in our customers’ designs. Empower has made it easier to place the EP70xx on the smallest of PCB areas (5mm x 5mm package) with no discrete components, saving time and space, and achieving incredible density performance. This single-chip IVR is the Holy Grail’ in power management! The DMR team and customers are very impressed.”

About Empower Semiconductor 

The exponential increase in the amount of data being communicated and processed around the globe is driving the energy consumption of datacenters and communications networks to 17% of total electricity demand worldwide by 2030(1), dramatically increasing pollution, carbon emissions and cost.  Empower Semiconductor was founded with the mission to “minimize the energy footprint of the digital economy” by developing novel fully integrated power management solutions that both increase the performance and reduce power consumption of energy-hungry, data-intensive applications.

Traditional power solutions require dozens of discrete components with big footprints, complex designs and deliver power inefficiently with poor response times and inaccuracies. Empower Semiconductor’s patented IVR technology integrates dozens of components into a single IC increasing efficiency, shrinking footprints by 10x and delivering power with unprecedented simplicity, speed & accuracy and with zero discrete components. The Empower IVR™ technology solves the power density challenge to address a wide range of applications including mobile, wearables, 5G, AI, and data centers. In 2020 the capacitor technology platform was added to further address power density. E-CAP revolutionized the capacitor industry as the world’s smallest, highest performing, and incredibly reliable capacitor for wearables, mobile, and SoC applications. The company is based in Milpitas, CA and is led by a team of highly experienced power experts and executives.
