COMPANY INFORMATION
Volterra designs, develops, and markets leading edge silicon solutions for low-voltage power delivery. The Company's product portfolio is focused on advanced switching regulators for the computer, datacom, storage, and portable markets.

Most power supplies today are difficult to integrate onto system boards with other surface mount components.They utilize discrete components that cause both height and size constraints.

Conventional solutions are typically designed for specific or custom applications and generally need to be redesigned for each successive generation of a product. Volterra integrated switching regulators and multi-phase chip sets, provide a scalable solution that will grow with your new product platforms.

Volterra's technology has changed the landscape of power delivery; now 80% of the power delivery requirement is delivered through Volterra's integrated circuits instead of discrete components. Silicon Power Solutionsú from Volterra increase performance, while reducing system size, and lowering overall system cost when compared to conventional solutions. Additionally, Volterra-enabled designs offer unprecedented flexibility of design, which conventional solutions cannot provide. Volterra is able to provide products with these unique features by using advanced semiconductor technologies combined with Volterra's proprietary design architecture. Volterra offers total system solutions and technical support from concept to production ramp, which ensures flawless power delivery execution.
