Bel Power Solutions Announces Digital Power Technology Patent License with Cosel
September 29 2014 - 8:00AM
Business Wire
Bel Fuse Inc. (NASDAQ: BELFA/BELFB), a premier global
manufacturer of networking and telecommunication products and power
management solutions, announced today that it has entered into a
non-exclusive, worldwide, multi-year field of use license agreement
with Japan-based Cosel, Co., LTD, a leading global provider of
high-quality, ultra-small AC-DC power supplies, DC-DC converters
and noise filters. Under the terms of the agreement, Bel Power
Solutions has licensed specific digital power technology (DPT)
patents to Cosel, which will design and manufacture an array of
board mounted power supply solutions employing the newly licensed
DPT. The DPT patents were acquired by Bel through the Company's
recent acquisition of the Power-One's Power Solutions business from
ABB Ltd. (NYSE: ABB).
Digital power architecture enables OEMs' products and data
centers to optimize power conversion efficiency, reduce energy
costs, and enhance energy management capabilities. It drives
increased power density, lower cooling costs, improved product
functionality, advanced monitoring, and flexible product
configuration.
DTP is used in designs based on FPGAs (Field-Programmable Gate
Array), ASICS (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) and DSPs
(Digital Signal Processor) requiring multiple voltage rails and
output voltages dropping below 1V. DPT facilitates telemetry, which
allows the system to accurately monitor its power consumption and
thermal performance to let designers easily engineer key features
such as system power optimization, fault detection and predictive
maintenance features into their end products.
Dan Bernstein, president and CEO of Bel, stated, "Our DPT patent
license agreement with Cosel underscores the value of Bel's
technology patents and exemplifies our commitment to encouraging
innovation by licensing access to our patent portfolio. We look
forward to working with Cosel and continuing to provide
energy-efficient technologies with increased functionality for our
customers worldwide."
"These DPT patents support the development of new values by
Cosel to address the needs of our various industrial customers,"
said Masato Tanikawa, President of Cosel. "Configurability through
serial communication is crucial to system optimization and
maximizing power conversion performance. We are delighted to now be
utilizing the DPT patents acquired from Bel."
