FDK Senpai Low Input Voltage POL Converters Deliver Up To 30A With Output Voltage Tracking
FDK Corp. announced the addition of eight new dc-dc converters to its Senpai series of non-isolated point-of-load converters. Operating from a 2.4 – 5.5Vdc input bus with a tightly regulated programmable output voltage of 0.75 to 3.63V, these converters incorporate an output voltage tracking function that enables various sequenced power-up and power-down scenarios when using multiple converters. The FPMS05T converters deliver up to 10A of output current and the FPLS05T converters deliver up to 30A. Requiring little or no derating up to 85°C, the company claims that the converters provide best-in-class thermal performance.
The FPMS05T converters are offered in 6, 8, and 10A output current models, in a 1.0 x 0.472 x 0.195" (25.4 x 12.0 x 4.95mm) industry-standard SIP package. The FPLS05T converters are offered in 10, 16, 20, 25, and 30A output current models, in a 2.0 x 0.535 x 0.315" (50.8 x 13.6 x 8.0mm) industry-standard SIP package. All models feature remote ON/OFF, over-current and over-temperature protection, and output voltage adjust, and are compatible with standard trim equations. The output voltage tracking function supports three kinds of sequenced start-up and shut-down scenarios: sequential, simultaneous, and ratiometric.
Applications for the Senpai series of point of load converters include Intermediate Bus Architectures (IBA) and Distributed Power Architectures (DPA) in telecommunications, WiMAX, data processing, networking and computing, storage, and other applications that require high efficiency, tight regulation, and high reliability in elevated temperature environments.
"The FPMS05T and the FPLS05T converters combine the industry-leading thermal performance of the standard Senpai Series POLs with a voltage tracking capability," said Dr. Apurba Roy, Executive Advisor, FDK Corp.. "FDK will continue to expand its dc/dc product line-up to meet the increasingly sophisticated demands of a diverse global customer base."
All Senpai series products are RoHS compliant. In quantities of 1,000 pieces, the FPMS05T converters are priced at 7.00, 8.00, and $10.00 for the 6, 8, and 10A models, respectively, and the FPLS05T converters are priced at 11.00, 14.00, 16.00, 18.00 and $20.00 for the 10, 16, 20, 25, and 30A models, respectively.
