High-speed designs use digital components with very fast edge rates in their output signals which can be subjected to significant distortion and degradation creating high bit-error-rates and lower data throughput.  Insertion and reflection losses, crosstalk and impedance mismatch, are all factors, amongst others, influencing the integrity of a transmitted signal.

Empower’s E-CAP silicon capacitors provide wide bandwidth low impedance highly stable decoupling capacitors capable of being placed close and even integrated into an SoC substrate.

Empower Semiconductor is developing power management solutions enabling full unrestricted speed and performance of the latest xPUs.

  • High power density
  • High bandwidth conversion
  • Low power distribution losses
  • Vertical Power

The ability to process data and perform complex calculations at high speeds has been intensified in recent years by leaps in technologies such as artificial intelligence, 3-D imaging and autonomous driving. These technologies have exacerbated the need for faster and more complex processors and architectures.

Equipment designed to operate within a high magnetic field environment can experience power failures or abnormal operating conditions due to the force the magnetic field imposes on ferromagnetic material-based electronics.

Moreover, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) devices can record false or distorted images due to the inferences from such electronics. Empower’s IVRs regulators use non-ferromagnetic air-core inductors ideal for operating in harsh magnetic environments.

Data being communicated and processed around the globe is rapidly growing, driving the need for a new generation of faster data processing components and elements in data centers and datacom equipment.

Empower Semiconductor offers novel fully integrated power management solutions that both increase performance and solve the power density challenge of space-constrained data-intensive applications.

System-on-Modules (SOMs) and Computer-on-Modules (CoMs) provide all components of an embedded processing system (processors, communication interfaces, memory blocks, power management, etc.) on a single production-ready printed circuit board (PCB). This modular approach makes them ideal for embedding into a variety of end systems and applications.Empower’s IVRs provide high-density configurable multi-rails regulators enabling rapid and flexible prototyping.

Chiplet architectures are rapidly gaining popularity over monolithic designs in developing complex SoCs. While providing increased performance, design flexibility and upgradability, they do, however, require more complex power management and PCB routing.

Empower’s IVRs can be integrated as an additional chiplet into an SoC increasing the power delivery efficiency and simplifying PCB routing.

什么是集成稳压器(IVR)?

IVR是一种高性能开关稳压器,可消除所有分立组件或将其集成到单个设备中。

Empower Semiconductor完全根据业界最先进的CMOS工艺开发高频集成稳压器(IVR)。这些IVR产品完全集成了所有电源分立组件,从而简化了设计过程并缩小了电源管理消耗的PCB面积。

通过使用先进的CMOS几何平台,Empower半导体产品还可以直接集成到SoC封装中,以进一步减小功率面积和能耗。与当今最先进的电源管理IC相比,Empower的产品能够实现:

大幅减少面积,整合所有分立组件

更高的瞬态精度,建立时间缩短了100倍

纳秒级DVS可以节省多达50%的能源

先进的CMOS工艺可实现SoC集成功能

零分立元件使面积减少10倍

与分立的电感器,电容器和电阻器说再见! Empower完全不需要组件,也可以将它们完全集成到包装中。

所有困难的设计决策都是使用授权开发工具做出的。

通过Empower的技术优化,协调和组合,用户可以简单地通过GUI选择其操作偏好,以使用高速I3C总线配置设备。

更高的瞬态精度,建立时间缩短了100倍

传统的DC / DC转换器必须在低频(0.3MHz – 3MHz)下工作才能实现高效率。低工作频率意味着低带宽,具有大输出和输入滤波,可实现合理的瞬态响应。通常并联几个大号或大号输出电容器,以获得100μF或更大的电容。

Empower的宽带稳压器可在满量程和极快速瞬态期间实现高精度电压。无需使用大容量电容器,Empower IVR的输出电压可降低1/3或更少,恢复时间比目前同类最佳的DC / DC转换器快100倍。

快1000倍的DVS可以节省50%的能源

现有的电源管理IC(传统的慢速电源管理)太慢,无法对不断变化的系统电压要求做出反应。由于功率与电压平方成正比,因此多余的电压会浪费大量功率。

Empower IVR产品具有超快速的动态电压缩放功能(比当前同类最佳的电源管理快1000倍以上),并能够在纳秒级的时间内改变处理器的电源状态。几乎瞬时的电压输出消除了多余的电压和浪费的功率。

迄今为止性能最高,尺寸最小和可配置最多的电容器技术平台!
