A new remotely configurable point-of-load DC/DC convertor from Artesyn Technologies provides powerful control flexibility for PCB design qualification and production test.
The SIL15E-12M nonisolated point-of-load (POL) convertor combines industry-leading conversion technology with next-generation voltage control features.
Based on Artesyn's 15A SIL15E high efficiency POL convertor, the new remotely configurable version incorporates an industry-standard I2C bus interface that simplifies setup and control.
I2C programmable features include precision setting of both the output voltage and voltage margining facilities.
In addition, an active DC output control function significantly increases output voltage accuracy during normal operation and when voltage margining during system test.
Intended primarily for high-end applications in the telec
