Vertical Power Delivery for Enhanced xPU and AI Product Performance

Learn about revolutionary vertical power delivery architecture for modern computing systems in this technical presentation from Empower Semiconductor's CTO. Explore how traditional lateral DC/DC converter placement around server chips is becoming inadequate for today's AI and machine learning power demands. Discover the benefits of relocating converters directly beneath target chips, enabling better voltage support, increased compute power, and improved efficiency through reduced transmission losses. Examine the technical requirements for implementing this vertical topology, including the need for rapid converters and carefully coordinated design of silicon, inductance, and packaging components while maintaining effective cooling capabilities.
