Power-One - 20A Digital POL Converters Deliver up to 93% Efficiency
Power-One has announced two new high-efficiency digital point-of-load (POL) converters, the ZY2120 and ZY8120, in its ZY2000 “No-Bus” and ZY8000 bus-programmable series, respectively. These Z-One digital POL converters with latest-generation topologies provide 20 amps and up to 93% efficiency for server and communications applications, augmenting the high-current-density models introduced previously in these series.
Like all Z-One POLs, these products seamlessly integrate power management and conversion to
significantly reduce design time, board-level parts count, improve power-system performance, and
enable industry-leading power-management functionalities. Additional features include:
Wide input ranges (8 - 14V) combined with user-defined outputs (0.5-5.5V) reduce the number of
model numbers in inventory.
0 to 70 ºC operating range with best-in-class elevated-temperature performance.
Extremely-scalable architecture manages up to 32 components, including up to 4 analog devices.
High-power-density, low-profile form factors designed for space-critical blade server and
communications applications.
The ZY2120 No-Bus POL is hardware configured via pin strapping and trim components. It
supports power management without the cost and complexity of third-party controllers and
communications-bus interfaces; enabling power management with no additional cost or space
requirements when compared to analog conversion only solutions.
The ZY8120 POL can be programmed via an industry-standard I2C bus, or a wizard-driven graphics
user interface (GUI). When used with ZM7300 Series Digital Power Managers, it facilitates the
complete elimination of external components for sequencing, tracking, protections, monitoring, and
reporting.
