TDK's IJB series point-of-load converters (POLs) feature intelligent auto-tuning technology that enables better dynamic performance and improves system stability. The PMBus functionality of the converter provides real-time monitoring of voltage, current and temperature, and allows full programmability of the IJB parameters. PMBus readings for current and temperature are accurate to within 1%. In addition, function-setting pins make these functions easy to use in applications where PMBus communications is not implemented, including parallel operation for output currents up to 100 A. For development support, a GUI is available.

The series is designed to meet the requirements of the wide range of applications, including servers, routers and other information and communication technology (ICT) equipment, semiconductor manufacturing equipment, measuring equipment and general industrial equipment. Optimization of components using digital control enables high-current output in high-temperature environments. The data sheet specifies an operating temperature range of -40ºC to 120ºC.
