Built-in energy-optimization algorithms reduce energy consumption
Designed for applications where board space is critical
Single-in-line BMR462 and BMR463 delivering high flexibility for designers
Ericsson has introduced two new vertical-mounting members in its family of 3E digital point-of-load (POL) voltage regulators aimed at space-critical applications. The new 12A BMR462-SIP (BMR4622002) and 20A BMR463-SIP (BMR4632002) complement the recently announced 40A BMR464-SIP (BMR4642002) and offer board designers the ability to select the most appropriate module for their configuration.
The BMR462-SIP and BMR463-SIP are based on Ericsson’s leading-edge digital-core controller combined with the latest MOSFET technology and built-in energy-optimization algorithms that contribute to significantly reducing energy consumption and power dissipation and also deliver an impressive amount of features and level of flexibility. The voltage regulators can be configured and monitored via the standard PMBus communication protocol and the company’s intuitive graphical user interface offering designers the ability to fully optimize power management in high board-density applications.
"These additions to the 3E family makes Ericsson the first to offer a wide range of PMBus-compliant digitally controlled point-of-load converters in three different footprints in through-hole, single-in-line and surface-mount versions," said Patrick Le Fèvre, Marketing and Communication Director of Ericsson Power Modules. "The high level of flexibility offered by this advanced power module family will aid designers to meet demands for high performance in space-critical applications."
Ericsson was the first company to launch digitally controlled POL (point-of-load) regulators based on a digital core controller. Through close cooperation with board and systems designers, the company was the first to release a 21st century power architecture that can be fully integrated into the rest of the digital chain of processors and associated components.
