Ericsson voltage regulator, BMR464-SIP, BMR4642002
Ericsson has introduced an additional member in its Power Modules family of 3Esecond-generation digital point-of-load (POL) voltage regulators with a new vertical-mount variant of the recently announced 40A-output BMR464 series. The new BMR464-SIP (BMR4642002) saves valuable board space for the core components as it enables vertical mounting. This approach delivers a 40A / 132W device in a footprint of less than 2.5cm2 (0.39in2), making the new device ideal for space-critical applications.
The new regulator can also easily be configured and monitored via the standard PMBus communication protocol and the company’s intuitive graphical user interface, making this the first PMBus-compliant 40A point-of-load SIP device available on the market, and offering designers the ability to fully optimize power management in high board-density applications.
“The increasingly functionality being crammed on system boards these days has driven the development of products such as the BMR464-SIP,” said Patrick Le Fvre, Marketing and Communication Director of Ericsson Power Modules. “We believe this industry first, a PMBus-compliant 40A/132W SIP voltage regulator with a footprint of only 2.5cm2, will help designers meet demands in space-critical applications that are featuring progressively higher board densities.”
The BMR464-SIP is based on Ericsson’s leading-edge digital-core controller combined with the latest MOSFET technology and built-in energy-optimization algorithms that not only contribute to significantly reducing energy consumption and power dissipation, but also deliver an impressive amount of features and level of flexibility.
