Description
The EM2130 is a 30A PowerSoC synchronous buck converter from the Intel® Enpirion® Power
Solutions family. The EM2130 features an advanced digital controller, gate drivers, synchronous
MOSFET switches, and a high performance inductor. Only input and output filter capacitors and
a few small signal components are required for a complete solution. A PMBus™ version 1.2
compliant interface provides setup, control, and telemetry.
Differential remote sensing and ±0.5% set-point accuracy provide precise regulation over line,
load and temperature variation. Very low ripple further reduces accuracy uncertainty to provide
best in class static regulation for today’s FPGAs, ASICs, processors, and DDR memory devices.
