No-Bus Digital POL Converter Provides 15 Amps from Low-Profile Package
Power-One Inc. announces the availability of its 15-amp ZY1015 No-Bus™ point-of-load (POL) converter. Featuring a low-profile, horizontally mounted package, this hardware-configurable digital POL provides sophisticated power management capabilities without the need for programming, external controllers, or bus interfaces, company officials said. Simple pin strapping, an external trim resistor, and a capacitor are all that is required for configuration, they said.
Using a 3 to 14V input range, the ZY1015 provides a 0.5 to 5.5V user-configurable output that can start up into pre-biased loads. Users can readily configure a comprehensive array of power-management functionality at any time during development or use:
— Sequencing with configurable delays, tracking, and cascading between multiple outputs.
— Feedback-loop compensation parameters that can be optimized for specific applications.
— Noise and electromagnetic interference (EMI) control via frequency synchronization and programmable phase interleave.
— Output current and temperature measurements via monitoring pins.
— Current sharing of up to 10 No-Bus POLs.
The ZY1015 combines a compact 16x32mm surface mount (SMT) footprint with a low-profile 8mm height. Protections include overvoltage, undervoltage, overcurrent, and overtemperature. Pricing is $10.40 each in quantities of 10,000. Higher-volume original equipment manufacturer discounts are available. Samples are usually available from stock. Production quantities are typically available in four to six weeks.
Power-One products power high-availability infrastructure applications such as: routers, data storage and servers, wireless communications, optical networking, medical diagnostic, railway controls, and semiconductor test equipment.
