Power conversion solution for high-performance FPGAs
Simplifying the design of point-of-load power solutions, a power conversion solution has been announced by Altera. Comprising a monolithic 40A driver plus synchronous MOSFET powertrain, the solution is optimised to meet the core requirements of Altera's high-performance Stratix V, Arria 10, and Stratix 10 FPGAs and SoCs.
8x8mm aperture extends transducer options
LEM has added three new members to its HO series of PCB-through-hole mounting current transducers, which provide an aperture of 8 x 8 mm to carry the primary conductor under measurement, extending the options for this form-factor. The new models, for 6, 10 or 25 A nominal measurements of DC, AC, and pulsed signals benefit from the revised LEM Open-loop Hall-effect ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) introduced several months ago with t...
14nm-based FPGA test chips successfully demonstrated
FPGA technology, based on Intel’s 14nm Tri-Gate process, has been successfully demonstrated by Altera.The 14nm-based FPGA test chips incorporate key IP components – transceivers, mixed-signal IP and digital logic – used in Stratix 10 FPGAs and SoCs.
DC/DC buck converters achieve efficiencies up to 96%
Achieving an efficiency as high as 96% while delivering continuous load currents of 4 and 5A, respectively, the AP6550 and AP6540 synchronous DC/DC buck converters have been announced by Diodes Incorporated. The devices are suitable for applications including: gaming consoles; TVs and monitors; set top boxes; distributed power systems; home audio; consumer electronics; network systems; FPGA, DSP and ASIC supplies; and green electronics.
ASIC design methodology meets DO-254 avionics requirements
The digital ASIC design flow methodology employed by ON Semiconductor supports the stringent requirements of commercial aircraft manufacturers that need to obtain DO-254 certification. A DO-254 compliant solution is an essential aspect of any system-on-a-chip designed for use in flight critical avionics applications.
