Original Press Release:
DC/DC Converter Family Meets Next-Generation Intel Processor Specifications
o Multiple power levels and form factor options
o Full compliance with Intel VRM11.0 power specification
o Maximum flexibility for designers
o RoHS compliance
o 'No load line' models for traditional regulation requirements
November 14th, 2006, Mansfield, MA - The new VRM11.X family of DC/DC converters from C&D Technologies has been introduced to provide power to Intel's next generation processors. Comprising six models, the range offers a choice of form factors and power level options to give designers and developers of servers and workstations a high degree of flexibility. Compared to approaches that use custom power supplies, VRM11.X DC/DC converters offer a low risk, fast time-to-market option.
The VRM11.X family of DC/DC converters is fully compliant with Intel's VRM11.0 power specification and represents a proven power solution. The modules take advantage of system airflow for optimal cooling and provide a cost effective, space-saving alternative to embedded voltage regulators.
Both 80A and 150A current options are available. This combined with a choice of either 1U or 2U form factors allows the VRM11.X family to address most next generation Intel processor power applications. The availability of three versions with 'no load line' gives even more flexibility for non-Intel applications such as custom ASIC designs where low voltage, high output current and tight regulation are needed.
Common features for all modules in the family include: DAC programmable output voltage, power good output, differential remote sense and remote enable. Numerous supervisory functions such as output over-current, short circuit protection, an over-temperature indicator, and an output current level signal are also incorporated in the design.
The VRM11.X range is fully compliant with RoHS legislation. All modules in the family have a calculated MTBF of over one million hours and a UL 94-V0 flammability rating.
Unit pricing for the VRM11.X range is $32.50 in OEM quantities (USA, 5,000-piece pricing), and delivery is from stock to 14 weeks.
