Ferric Launches New Integrated Voltage Regulator for AI and High-Performance Processors
August 27, 2025 | BUSINESS WIREEstimated reading time: 1 minute

Ferric, the leader in cutting-edge power conversion solutions, announced the launch of its latest flagship product, Fe1766, an Integrated Voltage Regulator (IVR) that sets new standards in current delivery, power density, efficiency, and regulation bandwidth for the most power-hungry digital processors. Built to address power demands of AI processors, datacenter infrastructure and advanced electronics, the Fe1766 delivers 160 A from just 35.5 mm² of silicon, with a fully integrated inductor — small enough to sit directly within the processor package – while supporting a scalable vertical PDN architecture capable of kilowatt-class delivery. This leap establishes a new benchmark for integrated power delivery in the AI era.
Built for the New Power Era
As AI workloads scale, modern processors can demand over 5 kW per chip — more than ten times what CPUs and GPUs required just a few years ago. Supporting this massive jump in power consumption requires not just incremental improvements, but a fundamental rethink of power delivery networks (PDNs).
Ferric’s Fe1766 accomplishes this by:
- Delivering 160 A in just 35.5 mm² (8 × 4.4 mm), with >4.5 A/mm² current density
- Achieving >10 MHz regulation bandwidth, over 10× faster than conventional multiphase
- Providing 3× power per area and >20× per volume versus competitive solutions.
- Enabling vertical power delivery within the processor package
- Scaling to >10 kW with 64 devices
“This launch represents a major milestone in Ferric’s mission to push the boundaries of power density and efficiency,” said Noah Sturcken, Ferric CEO. “With the Fe1766, we’re enabling the AI and computing industry to move faster, smarter, and more sustainably — solving both the chip-level bottleneck and the system-level PDN challenge in one breakthrough.”
Transforming Datacenter Economics
As datacenters grapple with rising energy costs — where power can account for more than 50% of total ownership cost — Ferric’s highly efficient IVRs offer a smarter solution.
- Deliver more power within the processor package
- Cuts energy losses with vertical power delivery
- Free up board and system space for performance gains
- Leading processor developers are actively integrating the Fe1766, validating its capability to meet the power delivery demands of modern kilowatt-class computing platforms.
The Fe1766 sets the stage for Ferric’s next-generation roadmap, which will continue to expand the limits of current density, conversion efficiency, voltage range and control bandwidth.
