ADI to acquire Empower in $1.5bn AI power delivery deal. Analog Devices (ADI) has agreed to acquire Empower Semiconductor in an all-cash transaction valued at $1.5 billion, a move aimed at strengthening ADI's position in AI power delivery as compute demands continue to accelerate. The agreement has been approved by both companies' Boards of Directors. Addressing power density challenges in AI systems. As AI compute scales, power density - rather than total power - has become a critical constraint in system design. Delivering high-efficiency, high-density power directly at the point of compute, while responding to rapidly changing loads, is now one of the most significant engineering challenges. ADI and Empower plan to combine their technologies to reshape power delivery architectures for AI and other compute-intensive applications. By enabling power conversion closer to the processor, the integrated approach is expected to shorten power paths and improve efficiency, supporting higher-performance, higher-density systems. ADI said the acquisition aligns with its strategy to enhance system-level power management from grid to core. Industry commentary. "AI infrastructure is fundamentally reshaping how power must be delivered, with energy now the most persistent constraint to scaling next-generation systems," said Vincent Roche, CEO and Chair at ADI. "ADI already delivers...
