Altera is adding a 30-amp PowerSoC DC-DC step-down converter to its growing portfolio of Enpirion power solutions for FPGAs. The 30-amp EM1130 is the first in a family of integrated digital DC-DC step-down converters that will provide power management for Altera’s Generation 10 FPGAs, specifically for Arria 10 and Stratix 10 FPGA core and transceiver power supply rails. The result of the successful acquisition of the Enpirion, Inc power IC company by Altera in 2013, the EM1130 digital power management device represents a major milestone in Altera’s endeavor to bring unprecedented optimised power solutions the programmable logic market.
Learn more about the EM1130 and Altera’s complete portfolio of power solutions at Altera’s booth at the Applied Power Electronics Conference (APEC) show in Charlotte, North Carolina, March 15th – 19th, to see a demonstration.
“With this innovation, we will provide integrated power management for our high-end portfolio,” said Jeff Waters, senior vice president and general manager, Altera Business Units. “We are pleased with the progress we’ve seen in the 18 months following the acquisition of Enpirion, and we expect our customers to continue to benefit from the tight coupling of power and industry-leading FPGA platforms.”
