The Distributed-Power Open Standards Alliance Adds Ericsson Power Modules as Its Newest Member.DALLAS -- The Distributed-power Open Standards Specifications for hardware and software that are developed by a standards organization or a consortium involved in supporting a standard. Available to the public for developing compliant products, open standards imply "open systems;" that an existing component in a system can be replaced Alliance (DOSA) is pleased to announce that Ericsson Power Modules, one of the world's leading manufacturers of DC/DC power modules, has joined the industry alliance. Ericsson joins current members Tyco Electronics Tyco Electronics was the largest unit of Tyco International Ltd., and the world's leading supplier of passive electronic components. On June 29, 2007 Tyco Electronics became a wholly independent publicly-traded company, along with Covidien, from the breakup of the Tyco conglomerate Power Systems, Inc., SynQor, Inc., Celestica Power Systems, Lambda and Delta Electronics in this growing industry alliance. "At Ericsson Power Modules we are very enthusiastic to be joining DOSA," said Patrick Le Fevre, Marketing Director for Ericsson Power Modules. "The objectives of the alliance line up well with Ericsson's goals of industry leadership, technical excellence and customer satisfaction. Ericsson is eager to contribute to DOSA and to the development of compatible products that will serve the best interests of our mutual customers." Founded by Tyco Electronics and SynQor in February 2004, DOSA's mandate is to establish standards over a broad range of power converter (1) A device that changes one set of codes, modes, sequences or frequencies to a different set. See A/D converter. (2) A device that changes current from 60Hz to 50Hz and vice versa. form factors, footprints, feature sets and functionality for both non-isolated point-of-load (POL) and isolated applications. DOSA standards for DC/DC converters ensure product compatibility and facilitate second sourcing for customers. "DOSA membership now includes six of the world's largest and best known DC/DC converter manufacturers," said Sabi Varma, Vice President, Marketing and Business Operations Business operations are those activities involved in the running of a business for the purpose of producing value for the stakeholders. Compare business processes. The outcome of business operations is the harvesting of value from assets for Tyco Electronics Power Systems. "DOSA has established itself as the leading industry alliance and the de facto standard Hardware or software that is widely used, but not endorsed by a standards organization. Contrast with de jure standard. de facto standard - A widespread consensus on a particular product or protocol which has not been ratified by any official standards body, such as ISO, for DC/DC converter modules." "DOSA is pleased to welcome Ericsson Power Modules to the alliance," commented Joseph Coupal, Executive Vice President, Marketing and Sales for SynQor. "Their experience and leadership in the industry will be extremely helpful in allowing DOSA to continue its development of open, customer-driven standards." Ericsson Power Modules has recently announced its PKU PKU: see phenylketonuria. 4000 series of 1/16th brick isolated DC/DC converters. The new modules are DOSA compatible, offering a 43% size reduction compared to standard 1/8th brick modules, allowing designers more space to use for greater functionality within their systems.

DOSA has developed this site to provide information to the public on DOSA standards developed for the power conversion market. ABOUT DOSA The Distributed-power Open Standards Alliance (DOSA) was formed to ensure future DC-DC DC-DC Direct Current to Direct Current (power conversion) product compatibility and standardization standardization In industry, the development and application of standards that make it possible to manufacture a large volume of interchangeable parts. Standardization may focus on engineering standards, such as properties of materials, fits and tolerances, and drafting within the increasingly fragmented power converter market. The goal of the alliance is to establish customer interface standards early in the development cycle, which include form factors, footprints, pin-outs, feature sets and other parameters that will permit alternative sourcing. The alliance covers a broad range of power converters including non-isolated (POL), isolated applications, and intermediate bus converters.
