FDK Corporation (Tokyo Stock Exchange 1st Section: Code 6955), a global electronic component and battery manufacturer, introduces the DK Series of non-isolated dc-dc converters with the announcement of three new products that deliver 3 Amperes (A) of output current at power densities up to 640 Watts/cubic inch and efficiencies up to 93%. The DK Series converters provide high efficiency, cost effective, and complete point-of-load (POL) power solutions in very small and low profile surface mount device (SMD) packages.
Occupying a footprint of less than 0.3in2 (2cm2), the DK Series converters offer significant space savings over discrete
on-board solutions at a competitive price. Their low height of 0.134" (3.4mm)
makes them particularly suitable for high density racks, blade systems,
and low profile consumer applications. The DK Series converters fit a wide
range of telecommunications, data communications, computing, industrial,
and consumer applications where board space, cost, profile, efficiency,
and reliable operation in elevated temperature environments are critical.
The FPDK12S1R003PA, FPDK05S1R003PA, and FPDK05S1R003PAV converters are the first products of the DK Series. They are offered in a 0.657" x 0.350" x 0.134" (16.7 x 8.9 x 3.4mm) SMD package. The FPDK12S1R003PA converter operates from an 8.0Vdc to 14.0Vdc input and delivers 3A of output current at a tightly regulated programmable output voltage in the range of 1.0Vdc to 6.6Vdc. The FPDK05S1R003PA and the FPDK05S1R003PAV converters operate from 3.0Vdc - 6.0Vdc and 4.5Vdc - 5.5Vdc inputs, respectively, and deliver 3A of output current at a tightly regulated programmable output voltage in the range of 1.0Vdc to 3.63Vdc. All three models feature programmable output voltage, remote ON/OFF, over-current and over-temperature protection, and a power good signal.
"The DK Series combines FDK's leading-edge assembly process and passive device technologies with its dc-dc converter design expertise," said Dr. Apurba Roy, executive advisor, FDK Corporation. "These converters provide a high efficiency, high density, and cost effective single component alternative to discrete solutions for the important 10-20W segment of the global POL market."
All DK Series products are RoHS compliant. They are manufactured using
FDK's state-of-the-art in-house manufacturing processes and systems in
Japan. In quantities of 1,000 pieces, the FPDK12S1R003PA, FPDK05S1R003PA,
and FPDK05S1R003PAV converters are priced at $3.00. For more information

The DK Series can be seen at Techno Frontier 2008 in Hall 5C Booth #5251, April 16-18 at the Makuhari Messe, Chiba, Japan.
