Empower Semiconductor will use the IEEE Applied Power Electronics Conference and Exposition 2026 in San Antonio to showcase its Crescendo vertical power delivery platform and preview next-generation technology aimed at powering multi-kilowatt AI and high-performance computing processors. By pushing current density toward the 5 A/mm² threshold with its Crescendo HD evolution, the company is positioning its integrated voltage regulators and silicon capacitor technology as a key enabler for higher-performance, power-constrained AI xPUs.

The company will demonstrate real customer implementations, signaling that its vertical power delivery architecture is already in active deployment and not just at the prototype stage. A research analyst cited in the announcement noted that while larger semiconductor firms will dominate near-term regulator volumes, Empower’s technical capabilities and xPU partnerships give it a long-term opportunity to gain share in voltage regulation for AI and HPC platforms.

CTO and SVP of Engineering Trey Roessig emphasized that power delivery has become a primary bottleneck for AI systems, with Crescendo setting a modular, scalable baseline and Crescendo HD raising power density to support the next generation of processors. During the event, Roessig will present on industry challenges and solutions in powering AI processors, reinforcing Empower’s role in defining future power architectures for data centers.

From a strategic standpoint, this presence at APEC strengthens Empower’s visibility with system designers and potential OEM customers, potentially accelerating design wins in data center and AI infrastructure. The company, headquartered in Silicon Valley, continues to promote its FinFast-based architecture as a means to cut energy use and total cost of ownership by shrinking power solution footprint, height, and component count while improving efficiency and power integrity for demanding AI workloads.
