Convertors raise temperature tolerance at PoL

FDK Corp product story
Edited by the Electronicstalk editorial team
Nov 21, 2007
Senpai Series PoL convertors deliver full-rated output current, with little or no derating, at high ambient temperatures, with minimal airflow.
FDK has entered the standard DC/DC convertor market with the introduction of the Senpai Series of nonisolated point of load (PoL) convertors.
These DC/DC convertors are designed for intermediate bus architecture (IBA) and distributed power architecture (DPA) applications that require high efficiency, tight regulation and high reliability in elevated temperature environments with low airflow.
The Senpai Series convertors are offered in 5, 10 and 16A output current models, in SMD and SIP packages, with industry-standard footprint and pinout.
They operate from a wide input voltage range of 6-14V DC, and provide programmable and fixed output voltages in the range of 0.75-5.5V DC.
All models feature remote on/off, overcurrent and overtemperature protection, and output voltage adjust, and are compatible with standard trim equations.
The Senpai Series convertors deliver full-rated output current, with little or no derating, at high ambient temperatures, with minimal airflow.
At 3.3V DC output, in an ambient of 85C with 0.5m/s airflow, the 5 and 10A models provide full-rated current, and the 16A model provides 14A.
This leading edge thermal performance results from electrical, thermal, and packaging design that is optimised for high density circuit card conditions.
"We have seen a need in the telecomms and datacomms industries for high performance, cost effective DC/DC convertors", says Katsuya Fujii, President and CEO of FDK America.
"FDK is a 56 year old company that is known for its high quality electronic components and batteries".
"We are applying those same high standards, manufacturing excellence, and R and D to our new Senpai Series".
All Senpai Series products are RoHS compliant.
They are manufactured using FDK's state of the art in-house manufacturing processes and systems.
Samples are available now.
