The Y5117P is heralded as the industry's first surface mountable, vertical SIP point-of-load convertor.
Michel Pigeon, Meriton Networks' Director of Hardware Design, commented: "Our design team selected Power-One's Z-One Digital IBA for a range of development, performance and cost reasons".
"The Z-7000's current-sharing capabilities can be readily configured to support our mix of low voltages and high currents".
"In addition, the capability to easily configure critical parameters such as: sequencing, phase interleaving, voltage margining, and telemetry, via a graphical user interface really simplified this implementation and came at no additional overall cost".
Steve Goldman, Power-One's Chairman commented: "Meriton Networks' application is an excellent example of a customer employing the versatility of Z-One Digital IBA to power multiple-protocol systems; their products enable the triple-play convergence of voice over IP, video on demand, and Internet access".
"Flexibility through programmability, including the capability to reconfigure a power system without having to remove or replace any components on a board, is one of the reasons why the Z-7000 Series is garnering so many design wins in next-generation infrastructure applications".
The industry-standard I2C-compatible Z-7000 Series utilises an extremely scalable architecture that employs many revolutionary operating concepts.
An extensive range of parameters, such as the output of each POL, is user-programmed via I2C protocols, or through a graphical user interface, and stored in a Digital Power Manager.
At system startup, the Digital Power Manager uses this stored information to initialise up to 32 POLs.
After system initialisation, ongoing bidirectional communications facilitate intelligent power system operation.
Hardware-configurable Z-1000 POLs are also available for customers preferring power management without programming.
