Point-of-load Power Modules
TI introduces a family of non-isolated, plug-in power modules with a new technology that provides fast transient response rates and reduces customers’ need for output capacitors. Featuring a tight 1.5% output voltage regulation, the point-of-load modules offer increased performance in a smaller footprint for designers of 3G wireless infrastructure, networking and communication systems that use advanced DSPs, FPGAs, ASICs and microprocessors. The T2 series of point-of-load modules will support step-down DC/DC conversion from a 4.5 to 14 V input with adjustable output voltages down to 0.7 V at output currents up to 50 A making them appropriate for intermediate bus architecture (IBA) applications. The T2 power modules feature TurboTrans technology, which allows a power supply designer to dynamically "tune" the modules using a single external resistor to meet a specific transient load requirement. The end result is faster transient response with 40% less output voltage deviation and a five to eight times reduction in output capacitance. The T2 modules incorporate an innovative SmartSync function that allows the designer to synchronize the switching frequencies of multiple T2 devices to maximize power efficiency and minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI).
