Alliance backs nonisolated power modules
The POLA alliance has agreed to offer pin-compatible plug-in modules based on TI's T2 nonisolated power modules with ultrafast transient response.
The POLA alliance has agreed to offer pin-compatible plug-in modules based on TI's T2 nonisolated power modules with ultrafast transient response POLA alliance members, including Artesyn Technologies, Ericsson Power Modules and Emerson's Astec Power will develop and market the new plug-in modules with the same functionality and form factors as those provided by other members of the POLA alliance

RF platform brings three radios together
Texas Instruments has developed the industry's first solution that integrates mobile WLAN (mWLAN), Bluetooth and FM stereo audio all in a space-saving platform for mobile phones.
To date, POLA companies have manufactured and introduced more than 200 products with the same electrical designs to ensure full interoperability and true second sourcing.
Initially, the companies will second-source the 16 and 30A versions of TI's T2 series of point-of-load modules that provide step-down DC/DC conversion from a wide 4.5 to 14V input with adjustable output voltages down to 0.7V.
POLA members will evaluate extensions to the T2 family as they are released into production.
Ideal for supporting 1GHz processor-based intermediate bus architecture (IBA) applications, the T2 modules offer several advanced features, such as TurboTrans technology, SmartSync module-to-module synchronisation functionality and Auto-Track sequencing feature.
In addition, the series of modules reduces the overall power solution footprint by as much as 50% compared with TI's previous generation devices.
Pricing and Availability Each POLA member will introduce its own pin-compatible modules later in 2006.
TI's T2 power modules are now available in production quantities.
Pricing per module in quantities of 1000 begins at $7.90.
