A 10W 3.8-5V Input IVR Chiplet with 93%-Peak-Efficiency and 3.2A/mm2 Density Featuring Wide Load Range and Adaptive Ganging for 2.5D/3D Vertical Power Delivery

A monolithic Flying Capacitor Integrated Voltage Regulator (FCIVR) chiplet is proposed to supply wide load range while incorporating adaptive ganging capabilities for <tex xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">$2.5 \mathrm{D} / 3 \mathrm{D}{-}$</tex> ICs. It offers four ganging modes catering to scalable PDNs. The triple-loop regulation enables twodimensional V-F droop saving for drastic di/dt events and provides autonomous handshake driving for efficient conversion. By leveraging ML-driven circuit & RDL physical optimization, combined with ultra-thin interposer integration to minimize form factor and parasitics, the proposed VPD technology achieves 10 A max current, <tex xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">$3.2 ~\mathrm{A} / \text{mm}^{2}$</tex> density, 93 % peak efficiency and 32 ns FoM.
