Exar enters power module market with industry’s lowest profile high density power modules
Both devices provide two fully integrated regulators with MOSFETs, inductors, and internal input and output capacitors in a compact 12x12x2.75 mm package that support loads up to 6 A each. The revolutionary XRP9711 also offers two controller outputs that are each capable of driving loads up to 30 A, making it the industry’s first module to offer two fully integrated channels and two controller outputs. The XRP9710 and XRP9711 are complete system power solutions that enable telemetry, reconfiguration and fast time to market in a small footprint without sacrificing performance.
The XRP9710 and XRP9711 join Exar’s PowerXR programmable power management family utilizing award winning digital power technology and design tools. These new power modules offer full control via a SMBus compliant I2C interface allowing for advanced local- and remote-reconfiguration, full performance monitoring and reporting, as well as fault handling. The output voltages can be programmed from 0.6 V up to 5.5 V without requiring any external components. The XRP9710 and XRP9711 come with the newly released PowerArchitectTM 5.1 design tool which enables customers to leverage the full capabilities of PowerXR technology.
Exar’s modules have nearly halved the size of the existing 6 A modules on the market converting from 12 V. With a height of 2.75mm, system engineers now have the option of mounting these modules on the back side of boards, including telecommunication line cards and PCIe cards, or in other space constrained designs. The XRP9711 also combines a high density dual power module with a programmable dual controller capable of outputs up to 30 A in systems requiring more voltage rails and higher currents like those found in today’s FPGAs and SOCs.
Availability and Pricing
The XRP9710 and XRP9711 are available now in a RoHS compliant, green/halogen free space-saving 12x12x2.75 mm package and are priced from $17.00 and $19.50 respectively in 1000 piece quantities.
