Enpirion Power

Altera’s Enpirion® products deliver the industry’s first family of power system-on-chip (PowerSoC) DC-DC converters featuring integrated inductors. They provide an industry-leading combination of high efficiency, small footprint, and low noise performance in an integrated product. Enpirion PowerSoC DC-DC converters are ideal for enterprise server, storage, communications, industrial, and test and measurement applications.

We engineer our power technologies—high-frequency switching, magnetics and packaging — into complete power system-on-chip products. Unlike discrete power products, these turnkey solutions give designers complete power systems that are fully simulated, characterized, and production qualified.

Enpirion Power Products	Description/Unique Features
12 V DC-DC Step-Down Converters	PowerSoC DC-DC step-down converters with integrated inductor and synchronous FETs Utilizes industry-leading power MOSFET technology with double the power density over alternative solutions Output currents up to 15 A with no de-rating over entire temperature range. Excellent dynamic performance to allow lowest amount of output capacitance Compact solution reduce area up to 60% versus competing alternatives
5 V DC-DC Step-Down Converters	PowerSoC DC-DC step-down converters with integrated inductor and synchronous FETs Ultra-high switching frequency provides industry-leading power density Output currents up to 12 A with no de-rating over entire temperature range Low noise enables high-efficiency power for noise-sensitive applications
Special Function	PowerSoC intermediate bus converter provides simplest solution PowerSoC DDR memory termination provides simplest solution for memory termination supply (VTT)

Note: Altera Corporation announced on May 14, 2013, that it signed a definitive merger agreement to acquire Enpirion Inc., and the deal closed on May 21, 2013.
