A digital DC/DC controller, suitable for FPGA, ASIC, and POL power in communications and computing applications, has been released by Powervation. Designed for key rails that demand precision output voltage regulation and tight control during transient conditions, the PV3105 digital controller provides low jitter and low output voltage ripple, and improved transient response.

Powervation has announced that it will showcase its Intelligent Digital Power solutions for high-performance computing, communications infrastructure and advanced digital power modules, at this year’s Applied Power Electronics Conference (APEC) and Exposition scheduled in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Digital DC/DC controllers, designed for gaming and high-performance motherboards, embedded computing, networking, and telecomms applications, have been released by Powervation. The PV3203 and PV3205 provide fast transient response and features to improve power supply and system performance, while reducing overall BOM component cost.

Providing precision regulation and telemetry to support the latest high efficiency computing system designs, a series of flexible programmable digital DC/DC controllers for servers, high-end desktop, and embedded computing systems has been released by Powervation. The PV3103, PV3104, and PV3202 devices feature single and dual phase outputs and support both PMBus and Intel’s VR12.5 Serial VID (SVID) bus.

Powervation has closed a $3.0m term debt agreement with Ares Capital that supplements a $4m private equity financing that closed in the December quarter. All existing investors participated in the equity financing, including: Scottish Equity Partners, Braemar Energy Ventures, Intel Capital, VentureTech, 4th Level Ventures and Semtech.

Rick Santos has been appointed as the new Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Powervation. Santos has 20 years of corporate finance, M&A, and international financial management experience with both public and privately-held companies. As Vice President and CFO of Validity Sensors, Santos led the company through its successful acquisition by Synaptics Incorporated in November 2013. 

At this year's APEC, scheduled in Fort Worth, Texas, Powervation will discuss its Intelligent Digital Power solutions for a number of applications. These applications include cloud/datacenter server infrastructure, high performance computing, power modules, and communications infrastructure.

The PV3012 digital controller from Powervation is being used in a new DC/DC module from Murata. Designated the OKLF-T/25-W12N-C, the new module is a non-isolated, DC/DC converter delivering a maximum of 25 A at an output of 1.2 V, when operating up to 70°C with a 200 LFM airflow. Ideal for powering the latest FPGAs and ASICs in netwoking and computing, the adjustable outputs of the OKLF-T/25-W12N-C provide precision regulation from 0.69 V t...

Powervation have today announced the release of PowerSMART v1.1, an updated version of their design tool, as well as, the release of a new PV3012 firmware for the PMBus compliant dual-phase digital controller. The PowerSMART design tool allows users to communicate with and configure the Powervation digital power control ICs (e.g., PV3101 and PV3012) from their laptop using a standard USB connection.

Powervation has announced that CUI has selected its PV3012 next-generation digital controller in two newly-released power product families. CUI’s Novum Advanced Power line focuses solely on the design and development of leading edge products for distributed power architecture applications. The new NDM2P-series PMBus compliant point of load converters are the latest additions to the company’s Novum Advanced Power product line.

Powervation Ltd. announces sampling of PV3201, a new dual phase digital DC/DC controller with SVID interface. PV3201 complies with the Serial VID (SVID) communications protocol of Intel’s VR12/VR12.5 specification for Intel-based memory, graphics and similar applications.

Powervation Ltd. today announced the PV3101, the new single phase digital DC/DC controller featuring the company’s Auto-Control adaptive loop compensation technology.
