Built with world's fastest power MOSFET technology outperforming GaN at silicon cost levels
HAMPTON, N.J. -- (BUSINESS WIRE) --
Enpirion announced the EN2300 family of fully integrated 12 Volt DC-DC converters, implemented in the company's industry leading power MOSFET technology with double the power density over alternative solutions. As the leader of integrated power IC solutions, this introduction underscores Enpirion's focus on miniaturizing DC-DC power systems in applications such as telecommunication, enterprise, industrial, embedded computing, and storage systems. The addition of the EN2340QI 4 Amp, EN2360QI 6 Amp, EN2390QI 9 Amp, and EN23F0QI 15 Amp devices further broadens Enpirion's extensive PowerSoC (power-system-on-chip) portfolio. These devices capitalize on Enpirion's field proven PowerSoC technology, which integrates the controller, MOSFETs, high frequency capacitors, compensation network and inductor. The EN2300 family offers small solution sizes with uncompromised performance, highest reliability, and a 45 percent reduction in time to market.
Enpirion's high-speed transistor structure implemented in 0.18u LDMOS process achieves the industry's best Figure of Merit (FOM = Gate Charge x On-state Resistance) to operate at high frequency while reducing switching losses. "Enpirion focuses on driving high speed, low-loss power MOSFET technology as the key enabler for delivering the highest efficiency solutions with leading power density," says Dr. Ashraf Lotfi, Enpirion Chief Technology Officer. "Our technology FOM of 20 provides a 40% improvement over alternative LDMOS, 73% versus VDMOS, and 33% better than high performance GaN."
"The broad market push towards reducing power, space, and cost while improving reliability is driving the accelerated migration from traditional DC-DC converters to integrated power-systems-in-a-package, said Jeff Shepard, President of Darnell Group, the leading source for worldwide strategic information covering the full spectrum of power electronics. "Enpirion's new EN2300 exemplifies the types of products we consider key in enabling this rapid growth."
The following is a summary challenges in many telecommunication, enterprise, industrial embedded, and storage applications that the EN2300 DC-DC converters and the broader Enpirion PowerSoC portfolio address:
- Increasing features/function and memory capacity leads to Highest Power Density
- Reduced Energy Consumption lead to Higher Efficiency
- Fewer parts with 8x Higher Reliability
- Competitive Products, Simplified Supply Chain → Total Solution Cost Reduction Time to Market,
EN2300 devices are available direct from Enpirion (www.enpirion.com) or through distribution with EN2340QIat $3.56, EN2360QI at $4.41, EN2390QI at $6.60, EN23F0QI at $9.00 at volumes of 1k units.
