Ferric

Ferric makes the world’s highest density power converters. Our fully integrated voltage regulator chiplets are tiny and go in package with the processor or other load devices. Ferric in-package IVRs are gang-able, allowing up to 900A loads on a single domain.

Ferric’s best in class inductor technology not only enables the world’s best power density it also allows us to create the fastest available regulators. This speed, combined with a voltage accuracy of 0.5%, full telemetry and control systems allow digital processors to operate at higher frequencies and analog circuits to operate with higher sensitivity.

Benefits:

  • Smaller Size
    • Ferric power chiplets result in 50% to 90% reduction in a typical power solution footprint
  • Lower Power
    • Overall increase in the efficiency of the power distribution network via dramatically reduced parasitic losses.
    • Better Dynamic Voltage Scaling. Ferric devices are faster (25x) and more accurate in handling voltage changes which significantly improves system power savings.
    • Reduced Supply Voltage Margining. Ferric’s better voltage accuracy (2x) and higher feedback bandwidth (50x) reduces dynamic supply voltage error and the required supply voltage margins to allow additional power savings.
  • Higher Performance
    • Decreased Voltage Droop. With a reduction of up to 50% in first droop and settling times up to 100x faster than traditional converters, Ferric’s converters permit many customers to clock their processors faster.
    • Increased Load Current. Ferric devices increase BGA-limited current available to processors by 2x in steady state and 4x during surges to increase peak processor performance.
  • Security
    • Using in package power chiplets provides immunity from side channel and voltage glitch attacks.
