Compact Micro POL Power Solutions for Space-Constrained High-Current Designs
TDK’s FS1525 Micro POL DC/DC converter delivers up to 25A from a 4.5–16V input in a compact, chip-embedded package. Built for space-constrained, high-current designs, it simplifies layout, reduces component count, and can be stacked or paralleled for outputs up to 200A.
μPOL™ product family represents a new type of DC-DC converters. This is designed to power modern microprocessors, microcontroller, ASIC, FPGA, DSP and advanced digital logic devices.
The increasing demand for high performance, fast load transient and voltage accuracy in small footprint are driving factor for this new innovation.
μPOL™ technology offers an integrated solution including Power Semiconductor and Inductor in a very compact solution and with its I2C communication the device is configurable for a vast range of applications.
This is a wide input range , non-isolated Step Down Converter (Buck converter), the output voltage can be configured from 0.6V to 5V using serial communication (I2C) without a need of any external components. The Stability of converter is ensured internally, thus no need for external compensation.
Lots of design efforts have been made in order to make this device easy to use, system designers need to only add input and output capacitors to have a complete DC-DC converter.
Next-Generation Vertical Power Design for Compact and High-Performance FPGA, SoC, and ASIC
AI and edge applications are becoming more sophisticated, requiring enhanced computational capabilities and stricter power supply demands for processors, ASICs, and FPGA/SoCs. These devices must operate efficiently in limited space while maintaining high performance. Vertical power supply overcomes the space efficiency and thermal management limitations of traditional discrete base power delivery system. This article explores the advantages and applications of vertical power supply, focusing on TDK's μPOL, and how it addresses power supply challenges in next-generation AI and edge applications.
