Ericsson Power Modules has signed the PMBus adopter agreement, becoming a full member of the Power Management Bus Implementers Forum.

Dallas, TX – November 9, 2004 – The Distributed-power Open Standards Alliance (DOSA) is pleased to announce that Ericsson Power Modules, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of DC/DC power modules, has joined the industry alliance. Ericsson joins current members Tyco Electronics Power Systems, Inc., SynQor, Inc., Celestica Power Systems, Lambda and Delta Electronics in this growing industry alliance.  

Without compromising performance, Ericsson Power Modules’ PKM4000NF series intermediate bus converters (IBC) offer designers the most cost effective route to achieving the highest possible power density and efficiency in intermediate bus architecture (IBA) systems.

Showcased at Electronica, Ericsson Power Modules’ PKR DC/DC converter raises the benchmark for compact, low power modules by increasing output power from 15W to 30W compared to the company’s market leading MacroDens™ modules. This has been accomplished thanks to increased efficiency, and so does not affect power dissipation or compromise thermal management.

Meeting the dual need for increased power and reduced power supply real estate, Ericsson Power modules' PKU4000PI series of isolated DC/DC-converters for distributed power architectures firmly establishes the company in the industry's latest, 16th brick DC/DC module platform arena. 

 

Ideal for customers requiring multiple sourcing, Ericsson Power Modules announces no less than five product families of board mounted DC/DC regulators. As Point of Load Alliance (POLA™) compatible units, the regulators enable a reduction of qualification times as regulators from just one supplier needs to be tested.

As a point of load (POL) regulator in distributed power architectures, Ericsson Power Modules’ PMC4000 regulator offers designers clear advantages where both board space and component height are limited. 

 

Meeting the needs of the next generation of distributed power architectures – DPA level 4 – Ericsson Power Modules has introduced two ‘point of load’ (POL) modules that offer reduced inventory and logistics, thus minimizing total cost of ownership.

For use in distributed power architectures used in internetworking equipment in wireless and wired communications applications, Ericsson Power Modules’ PKM4000D series of DC/DC converters offers designers a cost effective yet high performance solution in the competitive quarter brick product market sector.
