In a move that extends its US and Asian agreements, Ericsson Power Modules has appointed Unique Memec as its pan-European distributor.  Ericsson already has an excellent working relationship with this specialist distributor and it is seen as a natural step to appoint Unique Memec to work with the company in Europe.

Designed to respond to the new high-current demand in distributed power architectures, Ericsson Power Modules has announced the PKM-4000C family of DC/DC modules. The first of these, the PKM4118GC PINB utilizes a new, enhanced footprint called ‘Double-P’ to improve thermal behavior.

Affirming its commitment to customers, Ericsson Power Modules has consolidated its manufacturing capability, simultaneously increasing production at two major sites.  The move gives the company first class production facilities and the ability to manufacture its products locally in geographical areas where they are required by OEMs and CEMs.

Ericsson Power Modules has announced the PKM-C family of DC/DC modules designed to respond to the new high-current demand in distributed power architectures.  Complying with the de-facto, quarter brick standard, the first module in the family, PKM4118GC PINB utilizes a new, enhanced footprint called ‘Double-P’ to improve thermal behavior. 

Ericsson Power Modules is upgrading its PKD series of lead-free DC/DC converters for lead-free assembly processes. The first of the new converters, the PKD 4510 ASI, is available now, and has an input voltage range of 36-75V and delivers up to 15A at 3.3V. It offers a power increase of 88% over its predecessor in the same package and at a competitive price.

Following the recent acquisition of Ericsson Microelectronics by Infineon Technologies AG, Germany, the company’s DC/DC power modules activities has been established as a separate company, Ericsson Power Modules.

Ericsson Power Modules has announced a series of high performance DC/DC converters available in the industry standard half-brick format, offering very competitive prices. Designated the PKJ4000E series, the modules offer price savings over similarly specified half brick products of around 25%.   

Ericsson Power Modules has expanded its PKD range of DC/DC converters to include dual output voltage models, meeting the needs of lead free manufacturing processes and applications where an increased number of voltages are used on the same board.  The first two products in the PKD dual series are PKD4528SI and PKD4520HSI.
