Bel Power Releases Point-of-Load Power Converters Featuring Tunable Loop™ Technology
March 23 2010 - 8:00AM
Business Wire
Bel Power, a division of Bel Fuse Inc. (NASDAQ: BELFA) (NASDAQ:
BELFB), today announced the addition of the SLIN Series of
non-isolated, point-of-load (POL) DC/DC converters to their growing
portfolio of parts targeting distributed power architectures and
intermediate bus voltage applications. Under the terms of a
licensing agreement with Lineage Power Corporation, Bel's new SLIN
Series features Tunable Loop™ technology, which allows engineers to
optimize the dynamic response of the converter to match customers'
specific load requirements. This minimizes the quantity, type and
size of the capacitors needed for any given application, and offers
significant cost and performance advantages over other solutions
and technologies. Packaged in a standard Distributed-power Open
Standards Alliance (DOSA) footprint, and available in 3A, 6A, 12A
and 20A versions, the SMT modules offer OEMs/ODMs maximum
flexibility and efficiency without compromising development
schedules. The SLIN Series is engineered to operate over a wide
input voltage range of 4.5V to 14V and provide a precise output
voltage of 0.59V to 5.5V, programmable via an external resistor.
The series moreover consists of modules, which operate at
efficiencies of up to 94.3%. Parts are RoHS EU Directive 2002/95/EC
complaint, and carry a full set of international safety approvals
including UL and UL60950.
The cost-effective, compact, open-frame construction of the SLIN
Series makes these converters ideally suited for an array of
state-of-the-industry, high-current microchip designs requiring
dense inter-board spacing. Parts are used in a variety of
applications, ranging from simple standalone operation to an
integrated component of sophisticated power architecture. They are
most commonly specified for use on PC boards in telecommunications
equipment, server and storage applications, and enterprise
networks.
The new power modules' features include tight 10-millivolt load
voltage regulation, fixed frequency synchronous rectification
control, remote on/off, adjustable output voltage, over-current and
over-temperature protection, output voltage sequencing, and
paralleling with active current sharing. They additionally provide
a power good signal and current sink/source capabilities. Parts
operate over an ambient temperature of -40 degrees C to +85 degrees
C. To learn more about the SLIN Series of DC/DC converters visit,

Pricing for the SLIN Series, in quantities of 10,000, is $4.60,
$4.80, $5.45 and $6.05 each for the 3A, 6A, 12A, and 20A models,
respectively. Samples and production quantities are available from
stock with lead times of up to 12 weeks. To locate a
