Empower Semiconductor has launched a series of embedded silicon capacitors (ECAPs) aimed at enhancing power integrity for AI and high-performance computing (HPC) chips. The EC2005P, EC2025P, and EC2006P provide capacitances of 9.34 μF, 18.68 μF, and 36.8 μF, respectively.

These ECAPs are designed to be co-packaged with processors, addressing the need for stable power delivery as AI chips like NVIDIA's B200 and GB200 demand up to 2,700 W. Alongside the ECAPs, Empower introduced integrated voltage regulators (IVRs) to improve power delivery efficiency. Empower raised $140 million to scale production of its IVRs, which offer faster transient responses and reduced power losses.
