Power-One enters into patent license agreement with Microchip
Digital Power Technology drives increased system efficiency, improved design flexibility, faster time to market, decreased board space requirements and lower system costs. DPT also enables telemetry capability, providing access to critical information including current, temperature and voltage. Telemetry allows the system to accurately monitor its power consumption and thermal performance, enabling designers to easily engineer key features such as system power optimization, fault detection and predictive maintenance features into their end products.
Applications utilizing FPGAs, ASICS, DSPs continue to drive board densities higher, requiring complex power architectures to handle the increasing number of voltage rails and output voltages dropping below 1V. Digital Power Technology is an extremely effective solution for these complex power requirements.
“These DPT patents support Microchip’s goal of offering its customers a new level of performance and flexibility in analog-based, point-of-load power conversion solutions,” said Bryan J. Liddiard, Marketing Vice President of Microchip’s Analog and Interface Products Division. “Configurability through serial communication is crucial to system optimization and maximizing power conversion performance.”
