Easy To Use Sipex developed
PowerBlox to enable designers to create a quick and easy power system with the fewest number of external components. This family of
high current, high voltage, ultra-miniature DC/DC buck regulators greatly simplifies the complex task of designing power solutions for
next generation electronics applications. |
 |
Ultra-Miniature
| • |
Sipex's unique package technology produces the industry’s smallest 8A component, measuring a mere 7mm x 4mm. |
| • |
The part is packaged in a custom DFN package with three integrated heat sinks for outstanding thermal management. |
|
 |
High Efficiency
| • |
With integrated high performance, low resistance MOSFETs, the PowerBlox family achieves up to 95% efficiency, surpassing all competing solutions. |
| • |
Even at high load, the family is able to maintain an impressive level of efficiency, thus minimizing heat dissipation and energy loss. |
|
High Current, High Voltage
| • |
Sipex’s PowerBlox family delivers from 3A to 12A output current and supports a very wide input voltage range of 2.5V – 28V. |
| • |
These parts offer the world’s only high current synchronous buck regulators with support for input voltages greater than 6V. |
| • |
Offered in frequencies ranging from 300kHz to 1.3MHz, PowerBlox ICs support a wide variety of applications. |
|
Power Up Protocols
| By offering various power up protocols, Sipex PowerBlox ICs eliminate the use of sequencing control ICs, simplifying system
design and reducing costs. Depending on your design requirements, you can choose simultaneous, sequential or ratiometric power up,
using a proprietary chip-to-chip interface. |

|
Simultaneous Power Up
| All converters begin their soft start cycle simultaneously, with the same slew rate. |
|
Sequential Power Up
| In sequential power up, VOUT1 powers up first and then triggers VOUT2 which powers up and then triggers VOUT3. |
|
Ratiometric Power Up
| With ratiometric power up, all supplies are turned on simultaneously and reach their respective output voltages at the same time. |
