ZMDI Expands its Smart Power Management Product Portfolio with the ZSPM9060, a Next-Generation DrMos Device for Highest Energy Efficiency
DRESDEN, Germany, November 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
ZMD AG (ZMDI [http://www.zmdi.com ]), a Dresden-based semiconductor company that
specializes in enabling energy-efficient solutions, today announces the release of the
ZSPM9060, a next-generation, fully optimized, ultra-compact, integrated MOSFET-plus-driver
(DrMOS) power stage solution for energy-efficient, high-current, high-frequency,
synchronous buck DC-DC applications. As a global supplier of analog and mixed-signal
solutions for automotive, industrial, medical, information technology and consumer
applications, ZMDI [http://www.zmdi.com ] is expanding its smart power management
portfolio with the ZSPM9060, a new product for non-isolated DC/DC point-of-load (POL)
supply applications.
In combination with ZMDI's compatible smart power management product family, the
ZSPM9060 enables area-constrained and high-performance applications, such as servers,
storage units, processor boards, field-programmable gate array (FPGA) boards and others.
This DrMOS device is compatible with ZMDI's ZSPM10xx family of leading-edge, configurable
digital power management system controllers for non-isolated POL supplies and other
pulse-width modulation (PWM) controllers. The ZSPM9060 has a compatible ultra-compact
40-pin PQFN package (6mm x 6mm) and provides a 72% space saving compared to conventional
discrete solutions.
"ZMDI is well-known as a supplier of innovative and energy-efficient semiconductors.
With this further expansion of our product portfolio, we want to extend our product
offering of leading-edge and easy-to-use POL devices to provide our customers various
tools for the rapid development of smart power management solutions," explains Bernhard
Huber, Business Line Manager for Standard Components at ZMDI.
