Tyco Electronics Power Systems and SynQor announce Alignment with PMBus Initiative for Enhanced DOSA-Led On-Board Digital Power Management Architecture.DALLAS -- DOSA-Led effort to enable Standard Digital Interfaces to On-Board DC/DC Power Converters 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 (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange : TYC TYC Texas Youth Commission TYC Torneos Y Competencias (Argentina) TYC To Your Credit TYC Toronto Youth Cabinet (youth members of the Toronto City Council) TYC Teconnaught Youth Club (Ireland) ) and SynQor, the founding members of 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), announced an alignment with the Power Management Bus (PMBus)(TM) initiative led by Artesyn Technologies Inc (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on : ATSN ATSN Apprenticeship and Training Support Network (Australia) ), and a number of power-supply and semiconductor companies, as part of a larger DOSA-led initiative to migrate to a digitally-interfaced, on-board DC/DC power architecture. The DOSA architecture will include the PMBus protocol as well as new pinouts The description and purpose of each pin in a multiline connector. and functionality defined in consultation with leading customers and DOSA members. Also included will be standard software required to interface with the modules over the industry standard I(2)C serial bus. These efforts will serve to migrate the industry to a new digitally-interfaced power infrastructure in a measured and low-risk manner, allowing customers to preserve their investment in existing designs while moving to the benefits of a digital control interface. "Digital interfaces to power modules will help reduce the design complexity of on-board power that is being experienced by some of our customers today", said Sabi Varma, Vice President, Marketing and R&D, Tyco Electronics Power Systems. "However, minimization of risk and ability to design in standard parts with second-source capability remains a critical need for customers as well. This effort will provide a graceful transition to Digital Interfaces while preserving the considerable design expertise investment our customers have made". "DOSA has endorsed and will adopt the Power Management Bus protocol in order to reduce the uncertainty and maximize the benefit to our customers as they transition to digital control, programming and monitoring of DC/DC modules", said Joe Coupal, Executive Vice President of Marketing and Sales, SynQor, Inc. "Our customers want an open industry standard that will facilitate multiple, compatible product sources. Current and emerging solutions only offer proprietary communication formats. DOSA's decision to adopt the PMBus protocol should solidify its position as the de facto [Latin, In fact.] In fact, in deed, actually. This phrase is used to characterize an officer, a government, a past action, or a state of affairs that must be accepted for all practical purposes, but is illegal or illegitimate. industry standard for power systems control." The DOSA-led efforts are expected to result in products in the second half of 2005 time frame. Standard enhanced pinout and functionality details are being developed in cooperation with major customers and industry partners, and will be released on the DOSA website as they are finalized. DOSA was formed to ensure future DC-DC DC-DC Direct Current to Direct Current (power conversion) product compatibility and standardization. The goal of the alliance is to establish standards over a broad range of power converter form factors, footprints, feature sets and functionality for point-of-load (POL) and isolated applications.
