High-density dc-dc converters output 15, 24 V from 30, 275-V inputs
Vicor Corporation announced the expansion of its DCM series of DC-DC converters utilizing the Converter housed in Package™ (ChiP) power component format. The DCM in a ChiP package is an isolated, regulated DC-DC converter, operating from an unregulated, wide range input to generate an isolated DC output. With its high frequency zero-voltage switching (ZVS) topology, the […]
PoL DC-DC converters provide 90 A/162 W for FPGA and processor apps
Murata further expands its OKD series of Digital PoL DC-DC converters by launching the 90A/162W OKDx-T/90 series from Murata Power Solutions. This is the highest current-rated product in the OKD series, which already provides solutions from 6A to 60A. The OKDx-T/90 series is ideally suited for FPGA & processor applications. The module is specified to […]
Choosing an integration level for power supply functions
Since the first application of the wheel, an element of all practical engineering projects has been the make-or-buy decision. The issue is fractal, arising at every level of the design hierarchy: For any given function, at some level of abstraction, you’ll choose to switch between make and buy. But the decision doesn’t hinge on a […]
