TI Introduces DC/DC Power Module for 3-GHz DSP Systems
Texas Instruments has introduced a 10A, non-isolated DC/DC power module with fast transient response and high performance. The plug-in module meets the strict three percent accuracy core voltage tolerance requirements of TI's newest 3-GHz digital signal processors (DSPs), such as the TMS320TCI6487, with only 3,000 µF of external output capacitance. The device also supports point-of-load systems that use high-performance DSPs, microprocessor...
