As technology needs increase, the demand for high technology power grows. Higher density systems and "always on" networks drive new requirements for the power system. To satisfy these needs, TDK Innoveta DC/DC converters push the limits of efficient technology, density and improved reliability.

Powering tomorrow's systems
Communications and computing systems have migrated to distributed power architectures, where the power is converted locally near the load, rather than in bulk. DC-DC converters near the load step the bus voltage down to the levels required by processors, logic, amplifiers and other integrated circuits.

Distributed power advantages   Scalability Easier high current distribution Better performance Faster system time-to-market Lower total cost of ownership Higher reliability

Equipment is shrinking in size. This trend requires more power, more performance, and lower voltages with higher currents --- all from the same size power unit.

Requirements for state-of-the-art DC/DC converters   High efficiency Very high reliability High density packaging Easy thermal management Flexibility

TDK Innoveta Technology  Top

TDK Innoveta handles these new distributed power demands, with technology that enables a broad set of products excelling at all of the DC/DC converter requirements.

TDK development teams include many of the pioneers who first commercialized high efficiency synchronous rectifier technology throughout the 1990's.

Efficiency and Density   Low loss MOSFET synchronous rectifiers Patent pending MOSFET control and drive Planar Magnetics Proprietary and patent pending topologies Advanced chip scale packages Insulated metal substrates Integration

At TDK Innoveta, the processes for assuring reliability are as "high tech" as the products themselves:

Design for Reliability   Cool operating temperatures 100% surface mount components Design and derating guidelines Design for manufacturability  Assuring reliability   Design reviews EVT/DVT testing procedures Strife and design margin testing Production yield monitors Routine failure analysis

TDK Innoveta focuses on providing true usable power in real customer environments:

Easy thermal design   High efficiency Low thermal resistance to power dissipating components Minimized heat coupling to thermally sensitive devices Resistance to airflow blockage Convenient connection to a cold-plate or heatsink

TDK Innoveta meets the needs of a broad set of applications with a minimum number of different products, by providing:

Flexibility   Wide range output voltage trimming Full feature sets Platforms with built-in options Compatibility with standard packages
