Semiconductor Industry: KYOCERA and Vicor Corporation to
Collaborate on Advanced Power-on-Package Solutions
Kyocera Corporation (TOKYO: 6971) and Vicor Corporation
(NASDAQ: VICR) will collaborate on next-generation
Power-on-Package (PoP) solutions to maximize performance and
minimize time-to-market for emerging processor technologies, the
companies announced today. As a part of the collaboration between
the two technology leaders, Kyocera will provide the integration of
power and data delivery to the processor with organic packages,
module substrates and motherboard designs. Vicor will provide
Power-on-Package current multipliers enabling high density, high
current delivery to processors. This collaboration will address the
rapid growth of higher performing processors, which has created
proportionate growth and complexity in high-speed I/Os and high
current consumption demands.
Vicor’s Power-on-Package technology enables
current multiplication within the processor package, allowing for
higher efficiency, density, and bandwidth. Providing current
multiplication within the package can reduce interconnect losses by
up to 90 percent, while allowing processor package pins, typically
required for high current delivery, to be reclaimed for expanded
I/O functionality. Vicor’s Power-on-Package solutions were featured
at the NVIDIA GPU Technology Conference 2018 and China ODCC 2018
Summit. The Vicor advanced Power-on-Package technology enables
Vertical Power Delivery (VPD) from the bottom side of the
processor. VPD virtually eliminates Power Delivery Network (PDN)
losses while maximizing I/O capability and design flexibility.
Kyocera’s proprietary solutions to optimize
processor performance and reliability are based on decades of
experience in package, module and motherboard manufacturing for
customers worldwide. Kyocera has cultivated design expertise by
applying Vicor's Power-on-Package devices in multiple applications.
By utilizing its design technology, simulation tools and
manufacturing experience, Kyocera provides optimal designs for
complex I/O routing, high speed memory routing, and high-current
power delivery. Through collaboration, Kyocera and Vicor will bring
new solutions for Artificial Intelligence (AI) and high-performance
processor applications to market.
