Texas Instruments New Push PMBus server Power monitoring and control IC

"Tenkine Server channel September 25 News" Recently, the global analog and digital semiconductor manufacturing company Texas Instruments (TI) announced the launch of a new PMBus server power monitoring and control ic,http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/ 7421.html "> Product program code-named Lm25066ia. It is understood that Lm25066ia supports Intel®node Manager 2.0 to provide server designers with a system power management and protection solution that directly connects to the Intel management engine; Lm25066ia in the server operating temperature range to support 1% of the current measurement error accuracy and 2% of the Power measurement error accuracy, can help dynamic server platform to implement power control. In addition, TI also introduced the support of 2.4% current measurement error accuracy and 3% Power measurement error accuracy lm25066i.

TI Lm25066ia can accurately control and manage the electrical working status of each blade on the rack and provide real-time power, current, voltage, temperature and fault data display for each blade subsystem for the system management host or management engine device. The parameter and the fault data are passed through the System Management Bus (SMBus), the communication interface adopts the industry standard PMBus protocol, and the system diagnosis and optimization routines (optimization routine) of the host use this data to limit the power of each blade subsystem or node.

The Lm25066ia solution is expected to help data center operations managers reduce the overall power consumption of server equipment, while ensuring that the server runs in its best working power range, improving system reliability, and thus achieving overall efficiency of the enterprise data Center.
