PoL device utilises 12A parts in a single module

The power module provides exceptional current de-rating over temperature, which enables the device to achieve full load (up to 85°C) without external airflow for most application voltages. The device’s industry-standard PMBus interface supports a wide range of commands including on/off, trim, margin, power good, rise time adjustment and input under voltage lockout. The digital interface also offers output voltage, current and temperature measurement capabilities. The Tunable Loop technology enables the user to optimize dynamic response to match the load with reduced output capacitance. Supporting 12A at 1.2V up to 80°C without airflow, the power module features a broad input range of 4.5V to 14.4V and a precisely regulated output voltage from 0.51V DC to 5.5V DC. The interleaved 180 degrees out-of-phase reduces input ripple when both outputs are operating, whilst the synchronization features and remote sensing make designing for strict noise and set point requirements easier and more accurate. The single 20.3mm x 11.4mm module provides two 12A outputs (132W maximum), which enables a higher density versus two individual modules, saving valuable board space and reducing cost.

The power module is suitable for a broad range of applications including data communications, telecommunications, storage, industrial, medical and military infrastructure equipment. The modules are available in volume quantity, with pricing beginning at $14.89 at OEM volumes
