Ultra-Slim, Digital-Power Encapsulated DOSA D2D Provides 40% More Power and 3mm Profile
GE’s Critical Power business today unveiled its new DOSA-standard, 12A SlimLynx™ dc-dc power solution, which enables design engineers to deliver the performance and manufacturing efficiencies customers demand, without compromising board space or power efficiency. Engineers can add a low-profile digital PMBus™ power module into previously unusable areas, such as the bottom of the board—effectively doubling the available board space for power while also enabling greater computational power for demanding processes.

The SlimLynx 12A is the first offering within a new series of encapsulated, digital, non-isolated, dc-dc converters from GE. The ultra-slim module provides industry-leading power density to reduce heat dissipation inside industrial, networking and telecommunication devices, while also delivering exceptionally high energy efficiency, peaking at over 95 percent.
Karim Wassef, product line director, dc-dc power for GE’s Critical Power business, explains more. “Engineers are constantly challenged to offer greater functionality in smaller spaces when designing digital equipment,” Wassef said. “GE’s SlimLynx innovation meets this challenge by allowing engineers to place this component in very tight spaces or in very small profile applications.” Wassef continued, “Especially compelling is that the SlimLynx can be designed into each layer in the thin sliver of space between adjacent boards for on-board power in a mezzanine structure.”

The low profile SlimLynx is capable of delivering a 12A output current with an input of 3-14Vdc and an output of 0.45-5.5Vdc. Additional features include: A rectangular (vs. square) encapsulated form factor that provides engineers more placement options; A self-contained solution without the need for an external drive voltage; Tunable Loop™ patented technology that allows for fewer external components; and 40 percent more power (12A x 5.5Vo) in a 20.32 mm x 11.43 mm x 3.0mm package.
The DOSA-standard 12A SlimLynx is available for shipping in April, 2013. Pricing will be available at $9.98 at OEM quantities.

Energy Efficiency with Class D Amplifier Modules
Class-D switching amplifiers are helping audio designers create personal multimedia devices and home audio/visual systems that demonstrate how compact and stylish equipment can also deliver high sound quality and high audio output power. The key to this breakthrough, providing freedom from the large and bulky boxes housing traditional audio products, lies in the class-D amplifier’s high energy efficiency, which is typically around 90%. This allows designers to reduce or eliminate heatsinks as well as using smaller-sized PCBs and smaller components such as transformers, connectors and power supplies.

The Role of Hall Effect Sensors in Power Distribution Infrastructure
Power distribution units (PDUs) form an essential part of modern computing and data communications hardware. They provide multiple outputs for transferring electrical power with maximum efficiency, controlling the power capacity and safeguarding against the possible causes of supply interruption. With an ever increasing need from tech savvy consumers for higher data throughput and greater quantities of data storage capacity, as well as tough international legislation now governing CO&sub2; emissions, the demands being placed on these units are proving challenging for engineering teams to satisfy.
