IR has power solutions for nex gen computing platforms

The devices are said to significantly improve efficiency and reduce board space in a variety of mid range to high end server, desktop and computing applications. The digital controllers meet Intel VR12 and VR12.5 specifications and support multiphase designs from 1 to 8 phases operating 1 to 2 loops. The controllers can be used in combination with a choice of seven new PowIRstage products for CPU and DDR memory applications. These latest generation CHiL controllers offer enhanced features over the previous generation, including significant expansion in the PMBus command set, substantial reduction in quiescent current to enable higher peak efficiency, min/max telemetry recording and an improved high speed phase balance algorithm. Temperature sensing, reporting and over-temperature protection are also available in addition to a fault-flag output. The PowIRstage devices are offered in 6 x 6mm PQFN packages, rated at 40, 50 and 60A with over-moulded and exposed top options available providing flexibility to achieve optimal thermal design.
