Integrated power-delivery chiplet for compute
PowerLattice develops power delivery chiplets that sit in the processor package to provide voltage regulation directly at the compute die. The chiplet packages miniaturized on-die inductors, voltage control circuits, a vertical packaging design, and a programmable software layer on a single silicon die to move power delivery closer to the compute core. This near-die integration differs from typical power management by delivering regulatory functions inside the chiplet itself, enabling substantial energy savings and easier scaling across AI accelerators, GPUs, and data-center CPUs. The goal is to improve efficiency and performance for next-generation compute by offering modular, near-die power regulation to hyperscalers, OEMs, and system integrators, with early sampling and trials planned for 2026.
