MILPITAS, Calif., June 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Sipex Corporation
(OTC: SIPX.PK) today announced the presentation of a Company-sponsored
digital power research paper which was presented at the 2006 Power
Electronics Specialists Conference (PESC) by the University of Toronto. The
focus of PESC is the practical and applied aspects of the power electronics
business. The sponsorship of research is part of the "Solved by Sipex"
initiative to develop technology and products which provide unique and
innovative solutions for the global engineering community.
"Sipex values the importance of sponsoring engineering research and
education," said Lee Cleveland, VP of Engineering at Sipex. "This
partnership supports the academic community's research efforts and at the
same time enables the Company to continue the development of digital power
IP for use in future products."
The use of digital solutions for power management ICs allows for the
integration of a complete power management system on a single chip,
reducing board space requirements and overall system cost while increasing
system performance and reliability.
The research presented at PESC introduces a new low power digital
controller architecture that provides tight regulation of multiple
programmable supply voltages for light loads and allows simple
implementation of power management techniques in portable applications. The
multiple supplies can utilize one inductor, through the use of
patent-pending digital pulse frequency modulation. The design of this
controller can easily be transferred from one implementation technology to
another, and realizes the very low power consumption in the DPFM required
for low-power portable and handheld devices.
The full text of the paper, titled "Programmable Digital Controller for
Multi-Output DC-DC Converters with a Time-Shared Inductor," can be found on
