POL power modules offer a 25% reduction in board space

The 6A devices provide ±1% voltage regulation, digital trim, digital sequencing, over-temperature protection, non-latching output over-current protection and over-voltage protection. For digital configuration, communication and control, the modules utilise a PMBus interface. Along with the high power density these features enable, the UDXS0606 and UVXS0606 provide high current derating over temperature, which allows the device to achieve full load (up to 90°C) without the need for external airflow for most application voltages.

The modules utilise GE’s independent power train feature. Two independent outputs (dual on/off, trim, Tunable Loop and PowerGood), common input voltages and ground-terminal connections are included with each device. Each output can be loaded to the maximum current capability and a single PMBus address can be used for two rails. High current density is delivered by the DualDLynx’s industry-standard PMBus interface and Tunable Loop technology, which is suitable for data communications, telecommunications, storage, industrial, medical and military infrastructure equipment.

In A4.260 at electronica 2014, GE will be showcasing the DualDLynx product family.

“GE’s latest embedded power innovation provides a significant size advantage making it a suitable offering for a wide range of vertical markets,” commented Karim Wassef, General Manager of embedded power products, GE’s Critical Power business. “In addition, the DualDLynx reduces total cost of ownership and can offer a time-to-market advantage over discrete solutions. These DualDLynx modules provide a cost reduction compared to two single-output modules and require less external input filtering.”
