Murata today announced that its FlexiCP™ series PE25204, a divide-by-4 step-down DC-DC charge pump IC, has received the Green/Eco Award in the China Top 10 Power Award.
Companies have traditionally relied on industry-standard isolated brick converters to step down from 48V to the intermediate bus, usually 12V. The PE25204 makes use of Murata's unique charge pump technology*1 to help realize 48V converters in a smaller footprint with enhanced conversion efficiency and low noise characteristics.
This gives system designers greater flexibility, such as allowing for the creation of a distributed power system by placing the product close to the point of load (POL) to minimize printed circuit board copper losses, or connecting the devices in parallel to create a centralized power system.
The PE25204 provides a high-power, high-efficiency, and space-saving solution for DC48V to DC12V step-down conversion applications in data-center, networking, optical transmission, and semiconductor manufacturing equipment, which face increasing demand for higher-density mounting.
