With its revolutionary product platform, the EP70xx, Empower has achieved the total integration of a triple-output DC/DC power supply with no external components into a single tiny 5mm x 5mm package. The result is up to 10x higher current density, 3x tighter accuracy during transients, and 1,000x faster dynamic voltage scaling (DVS) than leading competitors. The ExpressV DVS is capable of scaling voltage by +/-10mV/ns, delivering up to 50% energy savings in processor-intensive applications compared to traditional power management. “Data center power continues to limit the full potential of the Cloud as the industry struggles with power and cooling within compute, networking, and storage,” said Alan Weckel, Founder and Technology Analyst at 650 Group. “As the industry moves towards AI and ML workloads and edge computing, Empower’s industry-leading power density and performance will help drive future designs and unleash a new wave of Cloud computing in the data center.”

The Empower IVR features the world’s fastest load transient response and regulates through a 0 to 10A load step in 500ns with <15mv droop, with ZERO output capacitors. It features nearly flat efficiency curves up through maximum load due to the unique architecture, allowing designers to maximize the output power capability from any single output. The patented digitally configurable hardware platform has simplified the adoption of DC/DC converters. With a single footprint, no external components, extensive programmability including a wide range of current and output configurations, the EP70xx proliferates across nearly all designs and platforms. By having multiple entire power supplies in a single IC package, the traditional concerns of component variation and sourcing, synchronization and stability are all either eliminated or reduced significantly.
“Because we can support high-volume production orders within a 10 week lead time we have seen customers take advantage of the quick and simplified design process with the assurance of a short delivery time,” said Steve Shultis, Senior Vice President WW Sales, and Marketing at Empower Semiconductor. “Support for the EP70xx IVR series includes expert field and factory resources, reference designs and design tools that allow customers to rapidly move to prototyping. The easy-to-use GUI is utilized to program the device via the I3C/I2C port during operation. Just like that you have three outputs tightly regulated at high currents with wide bandwidth. No input filter design, no output filter design, no feedback resistors, no loop compensation design, no component changes.”
EP70xx devices are available with a choice of triple, dual or single-regulated outputs. Output currents range from 1A to 10A. The packaging options include a low profile 5mm(L) x 5mm(W) x 0.75mm(H) FcCSP package or a 10mm(L) x 8mm(W) LGA option that is 3-5x thinner than traditional integrated power modules.
