Empower Semiconductor announced the EP70xx, a cutting edge family of power management ICs that will provide significant energy savings in data centers with the single biggest point-of-load power performance disruption in over a decade.

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, attaining up to 10x higher current density, 3x tighter accuracy during transients, and 1000x faster dynamic voltage scaling than leading competitors.

“Customers are excited about the game-changing nature of our technology and the impact it is having on their systems and digital ICs”, said Tim Phillips, Chief Executive Officer and Founder of Empower Semiconductor.  “The combination of density, speed and efficiency is allowing designers to utilize our products in groundbreaking ways, enabling breakthrough levels of system performance.”

Empower Semi’s patented digitally configurable hardware platform has simplified the adoption of DC/DC converters for designers.  With a single footprint, no external components, extensive programmability, a wide range of current and output configurations, power designers can proliferate the EP70xx across nearly all designs and platforms.  By having multiple entire power supplies in a single IC package, the usual concerns of component variation and sourcing, synchronization and stability are all either eliminated or reduced significantly.

With technology constantly evolving, methods in power management, conversion, and distribution are also changing.

Dynamic load voltages, current dissipation, and other issues don’t influence new product designs as application designers have been focused on low-cost control circuits (switching below 1 MHz frequencies) and external components. Designers also ensure that features include soft-start, filtering, stability, and load transient response optimization.

Traditional converters operate at low frequencies to attain high efficiency, involving extensively large and bulky output and input filtering. With EP70XX, large capacitors are eliminated, reducing the output voltage deviation with faster recovery times.

Takeaways

With small and fast voltage regulators, business contact centers attain higher efficiency. Power consumption will be lower with such new designs. The features and benefits of the latest converters promote full power management with less cost.
