Digital voltage regulator offers ‘unprecedented’ levels of control and energy saving
Ericsson Power Module has launched a second generation, digital point of load regulator which it claims offers 'unprecedented' functionality. The 3E series BMR463 has been optimised to enable systems architects to monitor and control the energy that is delivered to strategic components such as processors, fpgas and asics down to a low and economical level.
Said to be ideal for low board pitch applications, the module is 25.65 x 13.8 x 8.2mm in size with an output power of up to 66W, an input voltage range of 4.5 to 14V and an output voltage range of 0.6 to 3.3V. According to Ericsson, it can parallel up to eight modules at a time, delivering upto 160A. Each module is able to be paralleled and unparalleled on demand to track and reduce the power consumption and optimise the configuration for a range of load conditions. A built in module to module group communication bus has been integrated to ensure current sharing is precisely controlled.
