SynQor Extends NiQor POL Range, Delivering 30A of Output Current

September 26, 2007 by Jeff Shepard

SynQor, Inc. announced the release of the latest addition to its NiQor family of non-isolated point of load converters. The NQ15W50SGA30 delivers up to 30A in the DOSA standard 0.53" x 1.30" footprint and pinout, ensuring true second source capabilities. The wide input voltage range of 6-15V allows for operation in a variety of Intermediate Bus Architecture (IBA) applications.

The output can be programmed (using a single external resistor) to any value between 0.8 and 5.5V, and the new Current Share feature included in the device enables multiple devices to be connected in parallel to provide higher levels of load current. The efficiency of the device is said to be as high as 93%. The NQ15W50SGA30 is offered with a sequencing/tracking feature, which is said to greatly simplify the implementation of various different output voltage timing requirements when using multiple POL devices in applications with multiple voltage chipsets.

Control and protection features include remote sense, input under-voltage lockout, output OVP, current limit, short circuit protection, and thermal shutdown. Operating temperature range is -40 to +105°C. The devices are fully 6/6 RoHS compliant and have an MTBF figure of nearly 11 million hours using MIL-HDBK-217F calculations.

Sample and production quantities are available immediately with a stock to 8-week lead-time. The modules are priced at $17.90 in OEM quantities.
