Xicor® Introduces Integrated Power Management Solutions X80010, X80011, X80012, X80013
--Power Supply Sequencing, System Management, and Hotswap Controllers Provide Power Distribution for up to 10 Amps in Data Communication and Telecommunications Applications
MILPITAS, California - October 25, 2002 Xicor, Inc. (Nasdaq: XICO), a leading supplier of programmable mixed-signal integrated circuits, today introduced the X80010, X80011, X80012, and X80013 smart power management products. These devices integrate power supply sequencing, system management, and hot swap functions to provide a complete solution that address power distribution from a -48V backplane.
The X80010 family hot swap features allow for insertion and extraction of Line Cards, Network Interface Cards and other peripherals while -48V power is present on the backplane. Power supply sequencing allows for systematic on/off control of DC-to-DC converters on line cards or other devices. System management provides a monitor for the CPU host components to inform the system of power status. The X80010, X80011, X80012, and X80013 can sequence and control up to five independent DC-to-DC converters.
"Xicor's focus is to provide a complete power distribution solution that can be used for designs from 1 Amp to 10 Amps for primary voltages (-48V) while providing DC module sequencing for secondary voltages from 0.9V to 5V," stated Tony Ochoa, marketing manager of Standard Linear Products. "These devices allow for hardware design flexibility by solving the problems associated with variations of load, current, transients, and choice of Power FET."
Summary of Features:
- Single -30V to -110V Hotswap Controller and Five Power Sequencers
- Flexible DC-DC Module Sequencing: Parallel or Relay Modes
