Applications OverviewMarket pressures are driving equipment manufacturers to add more features, functionality and higher bandwidth while moving to smaller form factors and improved energy efficiency. Furthermore, nano-meter process technology has enabled complex digital SoCs that have an increasing number of power rails and tighter noise tolerances. Enpirion PowerSoCs meet these challenges and are broadly used to power FPGAs, ASICs, DSPs, processors, memory and high-speed I/O. Enpirion BenefitsSmallest Footprint and Highest Power Density- Saves board space and minimizes profile, offering true point-of-load regulation and unparalleled power density.
Lower Noise- Integrated inductor reduces AC current loops thus reducing noise generated. Enpirion’s PowerSoCs offer low Ripple, low Conducted & Radiated noise for sensitive applications.
Higher Reliability- High level of integration enables 1 order of magnitude better MTBF than competing discrete power solutions.
Higher Power Efficiency- Synchronous buck PWM DC-DC switching offers high active state power efficiency combined with superior light load efficiency and thermals (i.e. longer battery life, lower Watt/Gb).
Ease of Use Enabling Faster Design Cycles- Plug-and-play approach enables faster power design cycles for simply upgrading LDO regulation or more sophisticated multi-rail high-performance applications.
- Enpirion provides comprehensive applications support and PCB layout guidelines to ensure first pass success.
Smaller Bill of Materials- High frequency operation and integration (e.g. inductor) enable a significant reduction in the number and size of supporting components.
- With as few as 2 external components, Enpirion provides simpler board layout, design qualification and manufacturing thus reducing risk.
Designers should consider incorporating Enpirion’s PowerSoCs when small footprint, low noise, ease of use or energy efficiency are required. Enpirion-enabled Applications
