ZMD AG (ZMDI) has released the ZSPM1505 and ZSPM1506 single-phase true-digital power controllers optimized for powering auxiliary power rails for field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) in enterprise networking and storage applications. ZMDI is introducing the ZSPM1505 and ZSPM1506 to expand its energy-efficient power management ICs product line with pre-designed, smart point-of-load (POL) solutions for enterprise networking and storage applications.

Many high performance FPGAs require a third power supply commonly referred to as the auxiliary rail (AUX). The AUX rail is often used to power internal clocks, phase-lock loops, peripheral input/output devices and transceivers in FPGA applications. These are critical rails that require tight tolerances and low jitter and ripple on the output voltages.

The ZSPM1505 is preconfigured for a power stage output of 1.8V, and it is capable of supporting loads up to 30A. The ZSPM1506 can support loads up to 25A at 2.0V. ZMDI provides bills-of-materials (BOMs) and circuit board layouts to improve customer design cycles, reduce external component cost and minimize application footprint size.
“Many of the high performance FPGAs in enterprise networking and storage equipment require tightly regulated supply voltages to ensure the FPGA functions at its optimum performance,” said Hensen Wong, Product Marketing Manager of the ZMDI Power Management Division. “ZMDI is able to provide customers with a fast time-to-market with a highly accurate power solution with very low jitter and ripple.“
