Highly efficient DC-DC converters for FPGA and processor power applications

Murata has expands its OKD series of digital PoL DC-DC converters by launching the 90A/162 W OKDx-T/90 series. This is the highest current-rated product in the series, which already provides solutions from 6A to 60A. The OKDx-T/90 series is ideally suited for FPGA and processor applications. The module is specified to operate over a Vin range of 7.5V to 14V and provides a user-adjustable Vout in the range of 0.6V to 1.8VDC with industry leading efficiency of 94%. The OKDx-T/90 is available in three different package configurations. The OKDx-T/90 is ideal for space-constrained embedded applications where performance is critical to the application. Critical performance parameters are fully accessible through the PMBus via the Murata Power Designer GUI software. The OKDx-T/90-W12 series converters are delivered with a default firmware configuration suitable for a wide operating range in terms of input voltage, output voltage, and loading conditions. The OKDx-T/90 operates over a Vin range from 7.5V to 14V; Vout can be adjusted from 0.6V to 1.8V, with a typical efficiency of 94% with 12 Vin, at 1.8V out and 50% load. All of the OKDx-T/90-W12’s standard and advanced features can be configured via the Power Designer software (GUI), which includes a high-precision simulation tool. The converters are suitable for any application requiring high current processor power, particularly in areas such as networking, computing/servers, telecom, powering FPGAs, CPUs, programmable logic, mixed voltage systems, advanced computing, and all distributed power applications.
