Architects of Modern Power consortium announced a standard aimed at establishing common mechanical and electrical specifications

Architects of Modern Power (AMP Group™) consortium announced a standard aimed at establishing common mechanical and electrical specifications for the development of advanced power conversion technology for distributed power systems. The ‘picoAMP™’ standard, designed for the lower range of the spectrum for board-level conversion needs, provides customers with a non-isolated standards platform ranging from 6 A to 18 A.  The standard defines a compact footprint of 12.2 x 12.2 mm in a land-grid-array (LGA) format.

The new ‘picoAMP’ standard builds on the previously released ‘teraAMP™’ standard for non-isolated digital point-of-load (POL) dc-dc converters, released in February 2015, and the ‘microAMP™’ and ‘megaAMP™’ standards released during electronica in November 2014.  The first products to meet with this new ‘picoAMP’ standard will be announced by AMP Group members later in the year.
