The PV3012 digital controller from Powervation is being used in a new DC/DC module from Murata. Designated the OKLF-T/25-W12N-C, the new module is a non-isolated, DC/DC converter delivering a maximum of 25 A at an output of 1.2 V, when operating up to 70°C with a 200 LFM airflow. Ideal for powering the latest FPGAs and ASICs in netwoking and computing, the adjustable outputs of the OKLF-T/25-W12N-C provide precision regulation from 0.69 V to 3.63 V over a wide input range (6.5 V to 14 V).

The first device in the series, the OKLF 25 A module, is a complete stand-alone power supply that delivers ultra-fast load transient response, exceptional de-rating performance, and >90% typical efficiency in a high power density form-factor. With the use of the PV3012 digital control IC, the OKLF 25 A module provides a full-line of protection features and precision set-point accuracy.

Bill Smith, Director of Marketing, Board Mount Power, for Murata Power Solutions commented: “Our OKLF 25 A module extends the ease of design-in of POL converters. With the Powervation controller, our module delivers precision set-point accuracy of ±0.5% over line, load, and temperature range – far better than analog options. Additionally, this new offering adds value by the use of space saving elevated inductors and Powervation’s Auto-Control, while also achieving exceptional de-rating performance.”

Powervation's Auto-Control optimizes dynamic performance and system stability in real-time without requiring any noise injection or the drawbacks of periodic techniques. This is a key benefit for modules and other designs that drive unknown or variable output loads, and addresses the challenges of load parameter drift that occurs over temperature and time.

Powervation’s Vice President of Product Marketing, David New commented: “With the support of the Okami™ footprint and Auto-Control, the OKLF 25 A offers a solution that is stable over a wide range of applications, user loading, various capacitor types, and host board parasitics.  Additionally, many current module users following the DOSA standard are able to use this module to take advantage of the performance of digital power without redesigning their system.”

The OKLF-T/25-W12N-C power module is available now from Murata Power Solutions, and the PV3012 and other digital control ICs are available from Powervation.
