Problem
Modern AI processors demand increasing power delivery, often requiring bulky capacitor banks and suffering from lateral transmission losses, which limit performance and complicate cooling. Traditional power converters struggle to provide the necessary bandwidth and density for these advanced processors.
Solution
Empower Semiconductor's Crescendo platform offers a scalable, high-efficiency vertical power solution designed specifically for AI processors. This platform eliminates the need for traditional capacitor banks by delivering power directly beneath the processor, minimizing lateral transmission loss and enabling effective cooling. The ultrathin and compact design maximizes performance by providing significantly higher bandwidth and power density compared to conventional power converters.
