Description

The AMPLE-X1 is a power card implemented using a single-phase step-down buck converter. It is optimized for operating from a 12V power supply but can work with down to 4.5V input. It achieves up to 91.7% efficiency and the parameters can be monitored and controlled digitally by connecting it to EVC2.

Product specification

• Output voltage 0.6-5.0 V (default 1.0V, adjustable through I2C)
• Input voltage from 4.5 V up to 14 V
• Max output current 45A. Active cooling may be required to achieve high output current. Without active cooling max current is about 20-30A depending on the output voltage.
• Efficiency up to 91.7% (2.5 V, 15 A, 600 KHz)
• Switching frequency selectable between 300 KHz and 1500 KHz
• OVP, OCP (52A) and OTP (Tj = 125*C)
• Can be monitored and adjusted using I2c
• Ships with a PCIE 6-pin power connector which can be soldered on by the user
• PMIC Vishay SiC450
