Altera adds 30A DC-DC converter

http://www.electronicsweekly.com/news/design/power/altera-adds-30a-dc-dc-converter-2015-03/

Altera is adding a 30A PowerSoC DC-DC step-down converter to its Enpirion power solutions for FPGAs.
The 30A EM1130 is the first in a family of integrated digital DC-DC step-down converters that will provide power management for Altera’s Generation 10 FPGAs, specifically for Arria 10 and Stratix 10 FPGA core and transceiver power supply rails. Altera DC/DC converters have an integrated inductor to reduce total solution size, low on-resistance integrated MOSFETs and tight output voltage regulation accuracy.
PMBus provides the interface for Altera SmartVID technology which allows the converter to provide the Arria 10 and Stratix 10 FPGAs with a lower voltage (VCC) for power savings while maintaining the performance of the specific device speed grade.
The PMBus interface also allows the EM1130 to communicate with the system to provide telemetry—measurement of key parameters such as current, voltage and temperature.
