Bourns introduces new TLVR inductors to meet the performance demands of today's data-driven applications

     Bourns, a leading manufacturer of electronic components for power, protection and sensing solutions, introduces the new TLVR1005T and TLVR1105T series of multiphase cross-inductor Voltage regulator (TLVR) inductors. With great current capability, low sensing and low DC resistance (DCR), it is designed to meet the performance requirements of today's data-driven applications. Such applications continue to evolve in terms of processing performance and the need to support power bead inductors that can match their abnormally high current specifications in the same or even smaller plate space. The Bourns TLVR1005T and TLVR1105T series of multiphase TLVR inductors meet the requirements of devices such as servers, workstations, data centers, storage systems and desktop computers, as well as display adapters and various battery-powered systems.

     Traditional polyphase voltage regulators (VRS) have problems with balancing performance because of the high current output requirements that require a longer single-phase phase to increase the duty cycle previously handled. The all-new multiphase TLVR architecture is designed to mitigate transient response problems caused by sudden increases in load output and is therefore widely adopted to solve these problems. As a result, system designers see the advantage of phase coupling in the TLVR architecture, allowing for extremely fast transient responses that can be scaled to meet CPU, FPGA, and ASIC load requirements. Adopting this architecture enables designers to develop robust systems without sacrificing other key design parameters such as board space, system efficiency, power density, or BOM cost.

     The Bourns TLVR1005T and TLVR1105T series offer the required low inductance and extremely high current carrying capacity (Irms up to 77 A and Isat up to 160 A) with a double-winding construction and a clamp-on coil design to meet the needs of a new generation of multiphase power solutions. The series features a shielded construction with low radiation characteristics, an inductance range of 70 to 200 nH and an operating temperature range of -40 to +125 ºC.
