The Monolithic Power Systems MP86956GMJ-Z is a DC/DC power stage with an integrated gate driver, specified in its product title for a 3V to 16V input range, 70A output and 3M Hz operation. Integrating the driver and power switches into one module removes the parasitic inductance of a discrete driver-plus-FET layout, which is what allows switching frequencies in the megahertz range at high current. The MP86956GMJ-Z is supplied in a 41-contact LGA land grid array package. Monolithic Power Systems lists the device in active production; note that this catalog record carries only four attributes, so the electrical figures above come from the product title rather than a verified attribute set.

Integrated power stages exist to deliver very high current into low-voltage digital loads, and a 70A device is sized for a single phase of a multiphase regulator feeding a processor, ASIC or FPGA core rail. The MP86956GMJ-Z therefore targets server and networking motherboards, GPU and accelerator boards, high-density telecom line cards, and industrial computing platforms where several such stages operate in parallel under one multiphase controller. Megahertz-class switching allows much smaller output inductors and capacitors, which is the usual reason designers accept the cost of an integrated stage over discrete FETs. Buyers are server, datacom and computing hardware manufacturers designing core-voltage power delivery networks.
