Altera - Step-down DC-DC converter delivers industry-leading performance (EN6362QI)

Altera's Enpirion EN6362QI on-chip power system (PowerSoC) DC-DC buck converter. EN6362QI PowerSoC is an efficient, integrated synchronous DC-DC step-down converter with integrated inductor, PWM controller, MOSFET and compensation functions. This module is specifically designed to meet the precise voltage and fast transient requirements of system-level applications in high-performance and low-power processors, digital signal processors (DSPs), FPGAs, memory boards and distributed power architectures. EN6362QI can provide high efficiency of 96% and continuously provide 6A current at 85 ° C ambient temperature without reducing power. EN6362QI PowerSoC also has excellent line and load regulation capabilities over the entire temperature range, and has a full range of protection features, accurate enable thresholds, pre-biased monotonic startup and programmable soft-start. In addition, the module can provide 1.5% VFB accuracy; with its advanced circuit technology, ultra-high switching frequency and proprietary integrated inductor technology, it can provide high-quality, ultra-compact DC-DC conversion, thereby significantly reducing electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and increase productivity. With industry-leading power density and improved performance in terms of conversion efficiency, output voltage accuracy, load transient response, and output voltage ripple, The EN6362QI PowerSoC measures only 8 mm x 8 mm x 3 mm and has been optimized as a 56-pin QFN module with a total solution size of 170 mm2. Due to its high level of integration and accuracy, EN6362QI PowerSoC is considered a low-risk power system solution. Compared with other discrete power solutions, its failure timeliness is extremely low and system reliability is greatly improved. Altera's Enpirion EN6362QI PowerSoC DC-DC step-down converter is ideal for a variety of noise-sensitive and space-constrained applications requiring the highest power density, including point-of-load regulation applications, industrial automation, servers, wireless base stations, test and measurement, and embedded Computing equipment.
