The breakthrough power package uses galvanic and lamination processes, resulting in a significantly reduced package footprint and height, superior electrical resistance and inductance specs, and improved cooling capabilities. Infineon also offers complete high performance DC/DC voltage regulation solutions based on DrBlade 2 power stages and Infineon’s fourth generation digital controller ICs.

The integrated power stage contains small, very efficient and thermally enhanced MOSFETs and Infineon’s latest driver technology. DrBlade 2 offers high precision current and temperature sense protection features for better system robustness and improved reliability.

The power stage achieves more than 95 percent peak efficiency which translates into better system performance with significantly reduced power losses and less cooling requirements. End customers in server and datacom applications benefit from lower energy costs during operation and thus improved total cost of ownership over lifetime.

The entire DC/DC system solution, including the new DrBlade 2 and digital controller, is compliant to RoHS 2016 and absolutely lead free. The full system solution comes with a Graphic User Interface (GUI) to program controller parameters and to tune voltage regulation while in operation.

All parameters of the controller are set via firmware that is stored in non-volatile memory. Accessible over I2C bus and PMBus, the system engineer is able to adjust all parameters of operation in real time without the need to interrupt active regulation.
