Lineage Power Introduces Tunable Loop 30 Amp MegaTLynx Point of Load (POL) DC Power Converter
Efficient, space-saving DC power converter optimized for telecom, computing and storage distributed-power applications
PLANO, TX - Lineage Power Corporation, a Gores Group company and the first name in power, today introduced its MegaTLynx(TM) DC/DC 30 amp (A) power converter for distributed power architectures and intermediate bus voltage applications used in telecom, datacom, server, storage and networking equipment. The new power module is a high-efficiency, non-isolated, DC point-of-load (POL) converter ideal for leading-edge, high-current microchip designs. Part of Lineage Power's Total Efficiency® architecture to help organizations achieve their energy sustainability objectives, this product boasts a peak efficiency of 96 percent and features Lineage Power's Tunable Loop(TM) technology. The MegaTLynx POL delivers exceptional thermal performance with full load capability at an ambient temperature of 85 degrees Celsius (°C) with only 200 linear feet per minute (LFM) airflow-15 percent better performance than competitive alternatives.
The MegaTLynx Tunable Loop feature delivers leading density at the lowest cost implementation, leveraging standards-based Distributed-Power Open Standards Alliance (DOSA) footprints. Tunable Loop functionality allows design engineers to optimize the dynamic response of a DC POL power solution to match load requirements-reducing the quantity, type, and size of the capacitors required for any given application. The result for the 30A MegaTLynx is more than 80 percent capacitor reduction in less than half the space footprint with nearly 25 percent lower system cost.
This DC power module operates over a wide range of input voltage from 6 volt (V) to 14V and provides a precisely regulated output voltage from 0.8V to 2.75V, programmable via an external resistor. Features include tight 10 millivolt load voltage regulation, remote On/Off, adjustable output voltage, over-current and over-temperature protection, output voltage sequencing and paralleling with active current sharing. The MegaTLynx POL converter is packaged in a modular and nestable layout with the industry standard DOSA footprint allowing the user to easily drop in the MegaTLynx module, optimize and customize designs without sacrificing development schedules. Lineage Power is the POL market leader with more than 30 million units shipped and proven field reliability with a mean time between failure (MTBF) of up to 3 billion hours.
"The MegaTLynx POL converter is designed to be part of a DOSA footprint palette that makes it very easy for global OEM design engineers to leverage this solution across many different platforms and applications," said Niklas Fallgren, vice president and general manager of Lineage Power's Embedded OEM division. "This POL solution delivers a small, fast and powerful DC solution that lowers cost, reduces risk and accelerates availability when designing next-generation telecom, computing and storage products."
Availability
Available immediately worldwide, the Lineage Power MegaTLynx 30A POL is also available for multi-sourcing through licensees of the Tunable Loop technology. A ruggedized version for industrial and military applications will also be available.
