Ferric launches dual-sided IVR
Ferric, a US maker of integrated voltage regulator technology, has announced the Fe1767 Newport, a 145 A dual-sided IVR designed for AI and high-performance processors.
Newport is said to create a direct vertical power path through the IVR. Input power enters from the PCB-facing side, while regulated output power exits toward the processor. This shorter electrical path reduces PDN impedance and limits voltage droop during fast processor load transients.
Under equivalent load-step conditions, Newport cuts transient droop by 19 percent to 30 percent compared with competing IVRs, and by up to approximately 57 percent compared with traditional lateral power delivery. Its direct power path also reduces power rail PDN impedance by 42 percent to 63 percent compared with backside PCB attachment, depending on the integration configuration.
Lower impedance and droop give processor designers greater headroom to reduce voltage guardbands and output-capacitance requirements, improving overall power delivery efficiency while decreasing the solution footprint.
“Delivering current is only part of the challenge—the harder problem is delivering it to the processor without excessive impedance and voltage droop,” said Noah Sturcken, CEO of Ferric. “Newport’s dual-sided architecture shortens that path, giving processor designers tighter voltage regulation in a compact, high-current solution.”
The Fe1767 Newport is currently sampling, with samples and evaluation boards available to qualified customers.
