EP7010B

Single Output Integrated Voltage Regulator on Interposer

Introducing the World’s Smallest & Fastest Voltage Regulator

The EP7010 is a high-performance highly Integrated Voltage Regulator (IVR) with an output of 10A that enables the full integration or elimination of all external components.  Operating from a 1.8V input supply, the EP7010 offers the industry best density, efficiency, transient performance and dynamic voltage scaling (DVS) from any system input voltage.

Output Info

The output is capable of 0.5V to 1.2V at 10A to provide flat efficiency curves and ultra-wide bandwidth.

Programmability

The EP7010 offers extensive independent programmability with no external discrete components required.  Highly accurate telemetry, diagnostics, warnings and protection as well as operating parameters such as output voltage, soft-start time and sequencing, DVS ramp speed, and phase shedding are all programmable via the I3C interface. The EP7010 reduces PCB power management area and components by 10x or more, reduces system power loss by 10-50%, and reduces power routing complexity on the PCB.
