Mukund Krishna presents on SoC power integrity with silicon capacitors.
Optimizing performance for chiplet-based SoCs hinges on integrating processing units, interconnect, and memory, placing unprecedented demands on their power delivery network (PDN). Maintaining power and signal integrity amid large, high-frequency power steps is critical. Traditional ceramic capacitors fail to meet such challenges, but fortunately silicon capacitors offer a breakthrough solution. Their superior PDN performance and stability, plus versatile packaging options, offer significant advantages by allowing for flexible mounting scenarios. By integrating such capacitors directly into SoC packages, designers and packaging engineers can unlock new levels of performance. Real-world use cases based on existing devices show how silicon capacitors meet the needs of high-performance chiplet-based designs.
