ams helps Sarda Technologies to implement key component for ultra-efficient server power stage

The Full Service Foundry division of ams AG and Sarda Technologiestoday announced that ams is manufacturing Sarda’s advanced high-voltage CMOS drivers which play a key role in their Heterogeneous Integrated Power Stage (HIPS). Designed to address the rapidly escalating power consumption in data centers, Sarda’s HIPS technology enables the development of voltage regulators that offer fast response, small size and high efficiency for granular power delivery. Sarda’s custom driver is currently being fabricated in ams’ 0.35µm high-voltage CMOS specialty process, which allows the efficient integration of voltage domains ranging from 3V to 120V on a single monolithic IC.
As part of its comprehensive Full Service Foundry offering, ams supplied its industry benchmark PDK (hitkit) with its fully characterized analog and digital cell libraries and ESD compliant I/0 libraries for multiple voltage domains. Additionally, ams supported ESD/Latch up design reviews, packaging services, and failure analysis.

“Sarda’s approach of integrating silicon ICs and Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) demonstrates how product developers can use ‘More-than-Moore Scaling’ to significantly improve data center power management, performance and energy efficiency”, said Markus Wuchse, General Manager of ams Full Service Foundry division. “At ams, we are constantly engaging with innovative fabless start-ups to enable product releases in shortest times. Sarda is a perfect example for this cooperation model.”
