Ferric

What Ferric does

Ferric Corporation is a venture-backed semiconductor company that develops Integrated Voltage Regulators (IVRs) using proprietary CMOS-integrated thin-film ferromagnetic power inductor technology. Founded in 2011 and headquartered in New York with an engineering office in Santa Clara, California, the company has grown to over 50 employees with experience drawn from AMD, TSMC, Xilinx, and other semiconductor leaders. Ferric's core innovation enables power inductors to be fabricated directly alongside control circuitry in standard CMOS processes, achieving industry-leading power density (up to 4.5A/mm²), efficiency (>90%), and regulation bandwidth (>10MHz) while reducing form factors by more than 10x versus conventional discrete solutions.

The company's product portfolio includes three IVR modules: the Fe1766 flagship (160A in 35.5mm² at 93% efficiency, scalable to >10kW), the Fe1736 (16-phase buck converter delivering 56A in 20mm²), and the Fe1728 (flexible 8-phase converter with up to four independent 7A outputs). Manufacturing is enabled through a strategic partnership with TSMC, established in 2019, which allows high-volume production of the integrated inductors. Ferric has been recognized by the U.S. Department of Energy, DARPA, and the federal CHIPS Act program, and its technology has been proven in Apple products since 2021. The company holds more than 40 patents built on a decade of research.

Ferric sells its IVRs primarily through direct enterprise field sales targeting hyperscaler data centers, AI processor developers, and high-performance computing system integrators. The go-to-market involves shipping evaluation units to alpha customers, followed by deep application engineering support through design, implementation, and validation phases. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. Named customers include Apple (consumer electronics, since 2021) and Marvell (AI/cloud custom silicon, partnership announced June 2025). The company addresses the power delivery bottleneck for next-generation AI processors where traditional discrete regulators cannot efficiently deliver the >1,000A required by modern compute silicon.

Core offering

Ferric designs and sells proprietary integrated voltage regulator (IVR) integrated circuits that combine controller, FETs, inductor, and capacitors into single CMOS-based packages using thin-film magnetic inductor technology. The flagship Fe1766 delivers 160A in 35.5mm² at 4.5A/mm² current density and 93% efficiency, complemented by the Fe1736 (16-phase buck converter, 56A) and Fe1728 (flexible 8-phase, 4 outputs), targeting hyperscalers, AI processor developers, HPC, automotive, and consumer electronics OEMs.

Product overview

Ferric offers a portfolio of Integrated Voltage Regulators (IVRs) based on proprietary thin-film magnetic inductor technology. The product line includes three distinct IVR modules: Fe1766 (flagship ultra-high current model delivering 160A at 4.5A/mm²), Fe1736 (16-phase buck converter for 56A applications), and Fe1728 (flexible 4-output converter with reconfigurable power domains). All products integrate controller, FETs, inductor, and capacitors into single compact packages, enabling placement directly within processor packages. The technology enables 10x smaller form factors compared to conventional solutions while delivering superior efficiency (>90%) and regulation bandwidth (>10MHz).
