MILPITAS, Calif., Nov. 12, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Intersil
Corporation (NASDAQ: ISIL), a leading provider of innovative power
management and precision analog solutions today announced that
three of its digital DC/DC controllers have been incorporated into
digital point-of-load (POL) DC/DC converters developed by the
founding members of the Architects of Modern Power (AMP)
consortium. These converters provide high current loads for
high-end FPGAs and ASICs employed in densely populated power
supplies in servers, storage equipment and basestations.
Intersil's DC/DC digital controllers support the AMP Group's
microAmp 20 to 25A and megaAMP 40 to 50A standards. These new
standards were announced separately today by the AMP Group, and
establish common mechanical and electrical specifications for the
development of advanced power conversion technology for distributed
power systems.
"Architects of Modern Power selected Intersil's digital
controller technology for our microAmp and megaAMP module standards
because they provided the most advanced feature set on the market,"
said Mark Adams, AMP Group
spokesperson. "Simply converting one voltage to another voltage is
no longer an option for our customers. Now, perfect voltage
conversion under all conditions is required. Intersil's digital
power technology helps us achieve this."
"We're excited the Architects of Modern Power consortium have
adopted Intersil's innovative digital power solutions," said
Mark Downing, senior vice president
of infrastructure and industrial power products at Intersil.
"Intersil is at the forefront of digital power, and continues to
deliver controllers that push the higher efficiency, current
density and transient response performance that our customers'
applications demand."
Intersil offers a comprehensive family of digital power
controllers that provide 4.5V to 14V input voltage rails and
scalable output current from 6A to over 300A. Intersil DC/DC
controllers provide industry leading digital power features,
including automatic compensation, pin-strap current sharing, and
Intersil's proprietary DDC (digital DC) bus for inter-controller
communication. The DDC bus enables system-based sequencing, fault
management and current sharing with other Intersil digital power
devices, all on a single wire.
