SAN JOSE, Calif., Jan. 25, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Altera, now a part
of Intel Corporation, has expanded its Enpirion® power
products portfolio with a 6A PowerSoC DC-DC step-down converter
that is a full-featured, highly integrated, and fully tested
PowerSoC with integrated inductor. The new PowerSoC (EN6362QI) is
the first in a new generation of low-VIN (input voltage)
power products that offer industry-leading power density while
improving performance in the areas of conversion efficiency, output
voltage accuracy, load transient response, and output voltage
ripple. These features help system designers meet stringent system
power requirements and significantly reduce costs while
accelerating time-to-market. The PowerSoC is ideal for powering the
Altera Cyclone® and MAX® families of FPGAs and can optimize power
usage in a variety of systems requiring a tiny, accurate,
high-efficiency power source. For more on this product, visit
www.altera.com/products/power/devices.html.
The EN6362QI PowerSoC is 45 percent smaller than other power
modules and 75 percent smaller than most competing discrete
(non-integrated) device implementations. It offers the highest
efficiency of any comparable module, along with superior thermal
performance, delivering continuous 6A at 85oC ambient
temperature with no de-rating.
The EN6362QI PowerSoC is designed and manufacturing-tested as a
complete power system, which results in very low FIT (failure in
time) rates and dramatically improves system reliability when
compared to discrete power supply solutions. Other key features of
the EN6362QI PowerSoC include:
- Increased power density: 56 W/cm2
- Optimized total solution size of 170 mm2
- 1.5 percent output voltage accuracy over line, load, and
temperature
- Excellent load transient and output voltage ripple
- Precision enable for sequencing
- Full suite of protections
- Low EMI
- Programmable soft-start
"The innovation behind this product reinforces the Enpirion
solutions' leadership in integrated power solutions as we are
continuing to drive density higher and solution size smaller, while
raising the bar on performance specs such as accuracy and EMI,
which are needed by FPGAs and other advanced electronic systems,"
said Mark Davidson, senior
director for Power Products, Programmable Solutions Group,
Intel. "With its ease of use, the EN6362QI allows our customers
to save design time and cost without sacrificing performance by
eliminating costly board spins, and focusing resources on system
design, not power."
