MANSFIELD, Mass., 13 Feb. 2011. Murata Power Solutions Inc. in Mansfield, Mass., is introducing the OKL-T/1-W12 Okami series point of load (POL) DC-converters for embedded applications such as servers and wireless equipment, LED signage and power amplifiers, and other data communications and industrial applications.The OKL-T/1-W12 power electronics device provides maximum 1-amp output current with a nominal 12-volt input, while the input range of 2.9 to 14 volts DC, is wider than the previously released 3-amp and 6-amp models. For applications requiring an ultra wide input range and low output current, the 1-amp OKL model also has the same pad layout as the other models in this family.The OKL-T/1-W12 is designed in an inspectable land grid array (iLGA) format package that allows easy access for testing and inspection of the solder joints.

The OKL-T/1-W12 measures 12.4 by 12.4 by 4.57 millimeters. Based on fixed-frequency synchronous buck converter switching topology, the high power conversion efficiency POL module features programmable output voltage from 0.9 to 5.5 volts DC and on/off control. These converters also include under voltage lock out (UVLO), output short circuit protection, and over-current protections.

These units are designed to meet all standard UL/EN/IEC 60950-1 safety certifications (2nd Edition) and RoHS-6 hazardous substance compliance. For more information contact Murata Power online at www.murata-ps.com.
