An examination of the Power Distribution Network (PDN) of modern AI servers reveals why multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) are becoming increasingly important. Vertical Power Delivery (VPD): The power delivery circuitry moves closer to the processor, shortening current paths and reducing losses. Their importance for modern AI servers, however, is enormous. How Modern MLCCs Achieve Higher CapacitanceA capacitor consists of two conductive electrodes separated by an insulating layer, the dielectric. MLCCs at the Heart of Modern Power DeliveryThe power requirements of today's AI processors continue to grow at an extraordinary pace.
