The module is specifically designed to meet the precise voltage and fast transient requirements of high-performance, low-power processors, digital signal processors (DSPs), FPGAs, memory boards, and system-level applications in distributed power architectures.
Altera's Enpirion EN6362QI DC-DC buck converter offers a very high efficiency of 96% and delivers 6A at 85°C ambient temperature without power throttling. The EN6362QI also provides excellent line and load regulation over temperature and features a full suite of protections, pre-bias monotonic start-up, and programmable soft start-up. Furthermore, the module provides 1.5% VFB accuracy; and advanced circuitry techniques, ultra-high switching frequency, and patented integrated inductor technology deliver high-quality, ultra-compact DC-DC conversion that significantly reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) and improves productivity. With leading power density and improved performance in the areas of conversion efficiency, output voltage accuracy, transient response load, and output voltage ripple, the PowerSoc EN6362QI is the perfect power system solution for the Altera Cyclone® and MAX® FPGA families or any other power design requiring a small, accurate, high-efficiency power supply.
Measuring just 8 mm x 8 mm x 3 mm, the PowerSoc EN6362QI is optimized into a 56-pin QFN module with a total solution size of 170 mm². Due to its high level of integration and precision, the PowerSoc EN6362QI is considered a low-risk power supply system solution that contributes to very low failure-in-time rates and dramatically improves system reliability compared to other solutions.
The Altera Enpirion PowerSoc EN6362QI DC-DC buck converter is ideal for a variety of noise-sensitive and space-constrained applications requiring the highest power density, including point-of-load regulation, industrial automation, servers, wireless base stations, test and measurement, and embedded systems. For development purposes, the PowerSoc EN6362QI is also supported by the 884-EVB-EN6362QI evaluation board, also available from Mouser Electronics.
