Z-Digital IBA Products

With solutions ranging from Bus-Programmable to No-Bus™ Point-Of-Load (POL) converters, the Z-Alliance™ group can provide the advantages of integrated power management and conversion to any application.

Hardware-configurable Z-POL™ converters do not require programming, external controllers, or bus interfaces.

Features and Benefits

  • Output voltages and turn-on delays are configured with an external resistor and a capacitor respectively.
  • Up to ten No-Bus™ POLs can current share using a single control trace.
  • No-Bus™ POLs can start up with pre-biased outputs.
  • Active bus termination sink and source current capabilities.
  • Reporting of output current and temperature via signal pins.
  • Thresholds for overvoltage, undervoltage, and Power Good track the output voltage settings.

Pin-Strappable Coordination and Optimization

  • Frequency synchronization and phase interleaving reduces EMI.
  • Comprehensive sequencing and cascading management.
  • Feedback loop compensation and enable logic.
  • Frequency synchronization, fault propagation, and current sharing are implemented, without external components, by interconnecting the respective pins on the Z-POLs being coordinated.

I²C Programmable Solutions that Integrate Power Conversion, Control, and Communications

Innovate Operating Concepts

I²C compatible Z-Digital IBA products combine many innovative operating concepts to achieve an unprecedented level of power-system integration. A multitude of parameters, such as output voltages, sequencing, tracking, and protection limits are user-programmed through a Graphical User Interface (GUI) and stored in a Digital Power Manager (DPM). Unlike other power management solutions it does not require users to provide an I²C interface, host processor, or non-volatile memory – Z-Digital IBA operates autonomously in any system.

Features and Benefits

  • Open architecture based on industry-standard I²C interface.
  • Extremely scalable architecture provides up to 32 programmable outputs.
  • Significant reduction in the number of unique models in inventory. Reduced component count improves cost, reliability, and power density.
  • GUI-driven configuration and simulation simplifies power system development, accelerating time to market.
  • Fully-integrated solution eliminates component incompatibility issues.
