PoL convertors supply up to 20A
Available in compact single-inline or surface mount packages the PL-Series is aimed at point-of-load applications, providing power to the very latest FPGAs, ASICs and microcontrollers.
Lambda has extended its range of nonisolated DC/DC convertors by adding 5, 16 and 20A models Available in compact single-inline or surface mount packages the PL-Series is aimed at point-of-load applications, providing power to the very latest FPGAs, ASICs and microcontrollers found in equipment using distributed power architectures such as communications equipment, workstations and servers

Power supplies deliver high power density
TDK-Lambda has announced the EFE Series of embedded front-end power supplies designed to deliver high power density, high efficiency and enhanced reliability.
Power supplies minimise waste heat
The GEN60-40, GEN150-16 and GEN600-4 models achieve 88% efficiency at 200V AC, while the GEN8-300's efficiency is rated at 84%.
The convertors will also find applications in industrial electronics, test equipment, broadcast systems and mobile and handheld equipment.
The output voltage is set by an external fixed resistor allowing the designer to configure the PL-Series to any voltage between 0.75 and 5.0V, depending on the model chosen.
The series has built-in current limit and short-circuit protection, as well as overtemperature protection, and offers efficiencies up to 95%.
Remote on/off is provided as standard as is a positive remote sense pin (on 10A models and above).
Nominal 5 or 12V input ranges are available, or alternatively a wide range input version (6 to 14V) can be specified for 10, 16 and 20A models.
The wide range input versions have an additional sequencing function that can be used to ramp output of single or multiple modules up and down in a controlled way.
If required, the output tracks the input signal until a set limit is reached; if not required the sequencing pin is tied to Vin.
These models also have a power good option.
Operating over a wide -40 to +85C temperature range, the new PL-Series have UL/C and EN60950 approvals. Request a free brochure from TDK-Lambda UK ...
