San
Jose, CA -- March 19, 2004 --
Summit Microelectronics has
begun a program to certify
compatibility of DC/DC converter
modules with Summit's precision
marginers and controllers, and is
working with several initial
participants now.
The program, called "Summit
Certified," is an extension of an
informal procedure that Summit
has been conducting for some time
at the request of a leading
network communications company .
The program exists to broaden and
accelerate this process.
The "Summit Certified" program
benefits DC/DC Converter makers
by making it easier for their
customers to verify that their
products are compatible with
Summit Microelectronics'
precision controllers. Likewise,
the program makes it easier for
the growing list of end users who
have designed in Summit
Controllers such as the
award-winning SMM665
(AnalogZone
Product of the
Year)
to select modules that they can
be confident will work in their
application.
After testing by Summit, a report
is provided confirming that the
tested converter margins up &
down, sequences up & down,
and functions in Active DC Output
Control (ADOC mode) with the
SMM665. The report shows output
voltage accuracy versus setpoint
from the converter both with ADOC
in operation and not in
operation, and shows accuracy of
margining; these are done at near
maximum load, mid-load, and at
light current load.
Tested modules receiving
certification are
listed
on the Summit
website.
The "Summit Certified" logo shown
above is then authorized for
inclusion by manufacturers on the
datasheets of their modules
receiving certification from
Summit. The certification
reference design is published by
both Summit Microelectronics and
the module maker.
