TDK Innoveta Adds To Range of POL Converters

TDK Innoveta Inc. announced that it has added to its range of point of load converters with the launch of a new product. The iAD12016A008V provides a non-isolated, SIP, through hole mounting device, which has DOSA compatible pin out. As a POL (point of load) converter the iAD is said to address a broad range of applications from telecom through industrial equipments.

With its wide input range from 6 to 14V the iAD is claimed to be well suited for powering today’s diverse range of loads in a variety of architectures including distributed power, for example regulated 9 or 12V bus rails, and non regulated 4:1 & 5:1 bus converter systems. Furthermore, its broad output adjustment range from 0.8 to 5.5V, its maximum output power of 80W and its ability to start into a pre-biased load make it especially useful in ASIC/FPGA and other applications where multiple voltages can be present.

Special attention has been paid to the electrical design to gain a high power conversion efficiency of up to 94%. Combined with careful component layout, the company claims that this allows the iAD to provide better thermal performance than many similar devices. This enables the user to benefit from higher output power for a given thermal environment, or lower thermal stress for the same output power. The low component count is said to provide greater reliability and a more cost-effective solution than other modules on the market.

The TDK Innoveta iAD POL converter’s standard features include fixed frequency operation, remote sense, remote on/off, flexible sequencing, auto-recovery of input under voltage and output over current protection circuitry. Negative polarity on/off, no sequencing and short 0.13" (3.3mm) pins are offered as options. The devices are also RoHS compliant.

Safety approvals include UL60950 (U.S. and Canada), VDE 0805, CB scheme (IEC950), and CE Mark (EN60950).
