DC/DC Converter Module offers up to 481 W/in.³ power density.
Press Release Summary:
Incorporating all power handling components in 25.4 x 12.7 x 12.2 mm package, OKLP-X/60-W12A-C 60 A Power Block solution consists of non-isolated buck converter without PWM controller. Unit supports use with analog or digital PWM controllers and provides regulated 0.6–3.63 Vdc output of up to 60 A from 7–13.2 Vdc input. Suited to use in PoL applications, module delivers energy efficiency, rated at 12 Vin and 3.3 Vout, of 95% typ. Uses include powering FPGAs, ASICs, and MPUs.
Original Press Release:
Murata 60A "Power Block" DC-DC Converter Module Delivers High Power Density up to 481 W/cubic inch
Hoofddorp, Netherlands – Murata today announced the latest addition to the OKLP range of “Power Block” products from Murata Power Solutions. In addition to the 25A & 35A, Murata now offers the OKLP-X/60-W12A-C, a 60A Power Block solution. This Power Block concept sits between a discrete Point-of-Load (PoL) design and that of a complete non-isolated buck converter module. The Power Block is essentially a non-isolated buck converter without the PWM controller. It provides a single package solution that incorporates all of the power handling components, fully tested and characterized for thermal and dynamic performance. The Power Block design approach allows the power engineer to achieve the highest efficiency and maximum possible power & current density while maintaining a high performance system at a lower cost when compared to a complete module design approach. Most analog or digital PWM controllers can be used with the Power Block. Reference designs are available using Texas Instrument’s TPS40425 (2-Phase, Stackable PMBUS Synchronous Buck Controller).
The OKLP-X60-W12A-C provides a regulated 0.6 – 3.63 VDC output of up to 60 A from a 7 – 13.2 VDC input and is suited to use in point-of-load (PoL) applications. Energy efficiency, rated at 12 Vin and 3.3 Vout, is typically 95% and with its compact dimensions of 25.4 x 12.7 x 12.2 mm a power density of up to 481 Watts per cubic inch can be achieved.
The OKLP-X/60-W12A-C is ideally suited for powering FPGAs, ASICs, microprocessors and providing I/O voltages in Intermediate Bus Architecture applications.
