San Jose, CA - May 17, 2006 - FDK Corporation (Tokyo Stock Exchange 1st
Section: Code 6955) announced the latest products in their Senpai Series
of non-isolated point of load (POL) converters. Delivering 8 Amperes (A)
in the smallest industry-standard footprints, the FPMR12TR7508NA and the
FPMR12SR7508NA converters provide 60% higher output current than other
available POL converters in the same input voltage range. The power density
of up to 600Watts/cubic inch sets a new standard for power delivery in
this footprint and pin-out. These dc/dc converters are designed for Intermediate
Bus Architecture (IBA) and Distributed Power Architecture (DPA) applications
that require high efficiency, tight regulation, and high reliability in
elevated temperature environments with low airflow.
The FPMR12TR7508NA converter is offered in a 0.9x0.4x0.195 inch (22.9x10.2x4.95mm)
SIP package, and the FPMR12SR7508NA converter is offered in a 0.8x0.45x0.211
inch (20.3x11.4x5.35mm) SMD package. They operate from a wide input voltage
range of 6.0 Volts - 14 Volts (V) DC, and provide programmable and fixed
output voltages in the range of 0.75V - 5.5V DC. Both products feature
remote ON/OFF, over-current and over-temperature protection, and output
voltage adjust, and are compatible with standard trim equations.
These Senpai Series converters deliver full-rated output current, with little or no derating, at high ambient temperatures, with minimal airflow. Under natural convection cooling, the FPMR12TR7508NA and the FPMR12SR7508NA provide the full-rated current of 8A in ambient temperatures up to 85 degrees Celsius and 70 degrees Celsius, respectively. This best-in-class thermal performance results from electrical, thermal, and packaging design that is optimized for high density circuit card conditions.
"These latest additions to the Senpai Series reflect our ongoing
commitment to providing high performance, high quality, and cost effective
dc/dc converter products to the marketplace," said Katsuya Fujii,
president and CEO of FDK America, Inc. "By reducing the space needed
for on-board power conversion, these converters will allow our customers
to enhance the performance and functional density of their circuit cards
and systems."
"The 8A converters of the Senpai Series set new standards for
point of load power delivery," said Dr. Apurba Roy, founder and former
CEO of di/dt, Inc. "They provide significantly higher output
power than other POL converters in these standard footprints, are able
to operate with no derating in high temperature and low airflow environments,
are manufactured in Japan to FDK's high quality standards, and yet are
extremely cost competitive."
All Senpai Series products are RoHS compliant. They are manufactured using FDK's state-of-the-art in-house manufacturing processes and systems. In quantities of 1,000 pieces, the FPMR12TR7508NA and the FPMR12SR7508NA converters are priced at $8.00. Samples are available now.
