Akros Silicon Inc. has introduced an isolated quad-output digital power SoC that it claims sets a new integration benchmark for the isolated DC-DCs that are used in a wide range of industrial, datacom, automotive, medical, residential gateway, display and other distributed power applications. Built around Akros’ patented GreenEdge™ digital isolation technology, the AS1454 eliminates the need for low-speed, bulky opto-couplers and integrates the functionality of up to eight separate ICs used in current implementations. This approach leads to a substantial reduction in design footprint and bill-of-material costs. The AS1454’s built-in cross-isolation DC-DC timing management and digital power control delivers 92% DC-DC efficiency with excellent light-load efficiency management for energy-efficient, green-power applications. The result is a power SoC that delivers cost and energy savings—all while simplifying system designs with digital power and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) management features.Learn more at the Akros Silicon Web site.
